Jen, you were always a role model for me and I wish I had shared that with you. The news of your passing breaks my heart because it’s just not fair. The only thing that brightens this dark moment is knowing you’re no longer in pain. Much peace and love to your family.

I have so many wonderful memories of Jen as we cheered on Sophia and my daughter at volleyball and softball games. She was such an amazing role model and cheerleader for her children. Her smile would light up the room. She will be deeply missed.
