This is my gift to Jen, her family, and friends. A memorial of Jen’s life, smile, talent, intelligence, and beauty.
The waning clouds and distant rumble
showered earth drips gleaming green
your anxious soul sought out this moment
dreams of summer rain and sauna sweatRoots reach out, seek love and strength
your favor gained, immovable and tight
offered shelter in respite and yearning
for the day when heartaches ceaseMy eyes tire, besieged in mourning
but your smile disarms conspiracy
and this is how you’re remembered
alive and open to the earth and sky
Feel free to leave your comments, condolences, etc…

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am so deeply sorry for your tragedy. Jen sounded like a wonderful human being and she touched you all in her own special way. Don’t let her spirit or ideals escape you. I’m from Southern California, and her story really affected and touched my soul. To her friends and family: Feel blessed that you had the joy to experience and enjoy this wonderful girl. Don’t let her words go unheard. She will continue to live thru you all. God Bless

Jen,
I didn’t know you very well but I would see your comments from time to time and occasionally I would pop in to read your latest entry. I must say that I have always admired and looked up to you. You are sure a beautiful soul. Your beauty still shines through your photos, your writting and the memories of others. You are wise beyond your years. We miss you.

oh jen.
it’s funny because we wouldn’t have even met if not for you and now we’re getting married and you won’t be there. it doesn’t seem right.
i still think about you every day. i don’t know how long it will be until i don’t.

Last I saw of Jen she was running around like her happy self with camera in hand snapping pictures. Such a beautiful young lady. I wish I knew her better.

Took me this long to visit the site. So beautiful, just like Jen. I miss her so much. Her friends, memories, and websites help to make this bearable.
Thanks for all your kindness, support, and love Lou and Bridgette.

I knew Jen, though not as much as I would have liked. Don’t we always say that about beautiful people who die too young?
I cried when I heard she was gone. I cried again the other night when I was flipping through an album of old band photos and I came across a section of pictures that she and Angela took at a Kyros/One Cent Stamp show at Johnny B’s. I remember her talking to us before the show: “The only rule is that you don’t mug for the camera. Randy [from Froglick] does it all the time.”
What a sweet, sad memory.

Jen…
One thing I’ve been regreting more and more lately is that we lost touch for a while. I missed out on alot of her life and I’m kicking myself in the ass for it, although I know Jen understands that life is life, and shit happens. Jen was one of the first people to befrend me when I moved to American Fork when I was 14 years old, I am now 22. She had a heart of gold, and was very wise too, I know if she were to read this, first she would thank me for my kind words, but she’d be embarrased at them at the same time.. This website IS beautiful. Just like Jen. She’s very much missed, and will not be forgotten. Love you always Jen, RyssA
Melissa
Thanks Lou. I come to this sight often. I miss my little sis so much. But it makes me more grateful for the family I have left. I couldn’t have picked a better family to be born into. Jen will always be remembered because of people like you. She was really something. It’s still hard to know that she’s gone. Thank you for keeping her memories alive.
