In lieu of flowers, contributions would be appreciated to the memorial fund established in her memory.
God gave us delicate flower to care for and to love. He gave us a very special one of the rarest from above. Its petals were a lot of car, but deep within its petals. Was a fragrance gave us strength through many a weary day as we tenderly cared for our flower through trails along the ways. But now our flower was taken to bloom in the garden above where every blossom is perfect in our Father’s wonderful love.
God grant us your healing balm to soothe each aching heart, for we loved our flower dearly and it hurts so deep to part. Friends may think we have forgotten when at times they see us smile; little they know the heartache the smile hides all the while.

I thought I would post one of my memorable photos of Jennifer shortly before her passing. She was such a sweetheart with a huge loving heart and there isn't a day where I don't think of her. I miss her so much!
