So sorry for your loss Susan,Doug & Family…..I have always had a respect for you that is beyond words! The unconditional love you have shown for Jennifer and her children has taught me so many lessons in life! She knows Jessie & Stephen are safe in your care as always, but especially now in her passing! You have always shown the very best of yourselves to people like me and only deserve the very best in life! I only hope I can be as strong in times of need… Love you always..
Dear Peter, please accept my deepest sympathy on Jennifer’s death. I know she had several medical issues but she was much to young to leave us. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Susan, Jessica, Stephen and family I am so sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you at this time and the difficult days and weeks ahead.
To The Esancy Family, I am so deeply saddened by the news of Jens sudden passing, I cant put into words how sorry I am for your loss of such an incredible person. Jen was a very important part of my life, as well as her other friends and especially her family. She was always happy go lucky, even when there were moments she felt nothing to be happy about. She, like me, had many health issues but she never let it get her down and never made her feel like she couldnt accomplish any goal she set out to complete. She was an inspiration to many of persons living with a disability and Im so glad I got to know her and became very good friends with her. In her death, it is not her passing I will think about, it is the life she led and the friendship I was lucky enough to have with her I will think about. My deepest condolences go out to you, her family, and to her children Jessie and Stephen, whom she loved with all she was. Always know she is looking down upon you, watching you from her cloud, and have peace knowing shes there. Rest in Peace Jen, we will all love you and appreciate what we had with you for the rest of our lives.
I’m so sorry for your loss.Please accept my prayers in this difficult time.
