Prayers for all of Jennifer’s family during this very difficult time. She was a beautiful soul on this earth and is now safely in the arms of our Lord & Savior! Praise God from whom all blessings flow. The broken hearts left behind will forever treasure her memory.
Cameron & Conner & family,
We met your mom in 1993 when we both purchased our houses on Susanna. I was so happy she had a little boy, because I knew Jeffery (Danny) would love to have someone to play with. She was always such a sweet, kind person. I talked with her just recently at Courtney’s about how all of our, now adult kids, were doing, and about her grandbabies and mine. She was so very proud of you both and of her grandbabies. I am so glad we had that visit. I still can’t believe she is gone. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. She certainly set a wonderful example for you both and I know she is watching over you still.
Michelle & Jeff Wall
A beautiful young lady with a beautiful smile.

RIP Jennifer We all love and miss your beautiful face Fly high
I ran into u a couple months ago….you will be missed but never forgotten..
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful person.
We all had such great times working together at Fleetwoodway back in the stone ages. She was always so happy and fun to be around. Even though we had lost contact over the years I was so blessed to walk into Courtney ‘s one day and she was there. Funny I think God meant that to happen as a memory of her had just flown through my mind only moments before I saw her. I didn’t even know she was Courtney ‘s sister. God works in mysterious ways.
God bless you Jennifer and all of your family.
My condolences to to family and friends. I am praying for strength through out her family and friends. God gained an angel.
My heart goes out to the family of Jennifer. Jennifer was such a lovely person. I pray that Jesus wraps His arms of comfort around you all.
She is not alone. She is in the presence of her Savior as well as her family who were there waiting for her. I’m so so sorry for your loss. Many prayers are going up for you.
May God keep you during this difficult time.
For Jennifer’s family: I was an old High School friend. And even though we all grew up and started our own lives. There’s just some friends you never forget. And Jennifer is one of those friends. My heart is sad for her children, grandchildren and siblings. And for all those she loved and knew. My prayers are with you all. May Christ comfort your hearts.
Prayers for the family, she was a beautiful lady and will be deeply missed. Fly high beautiful lady!

You will be missed Jennifer and I pray that the memories carry your family through this tough time.
