    I’m so saddened by the news of Jenn’s passing the shock hasn't gone away yet, but I smiled when I started thinking about her and all the shenanigans I remembered that are now precious memories. She truly never met a stranger and she was always a happy go lucky kind of soul, that’s what I’ll remember when I think of her. I am praying for her family, friends, and most of all for those four children that don't understand why their mommy is not here today. I will be praying for peace and comfort at this difficult time and bless you all I know, I know that the pain is unbearable.
