I am so sorry about Jennifer, the kidlet I always asked about everytime I saw her Mom. What an awesome girl she was. I will miss that great smile of hers and her running up to me to see how I had my nails done!! She made a huge difference in lots of lives. My prayers are with all of you.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the Letze family. In the few short months that I had the privelage of getting to know Jennifer as she was a co-worker with me at TJ's. No matter who it was, NOBODY was allowed to have a bad night if Jennifer was on the shift. She wouldn't let them. If anyone had the slightest negative attitude or just a bad night at work, she would say something straight out of left field that would make everyone smile and forget the stress. She was a great and wonderful person and I feel very privelaged to have been able to get to know her. She was a special girl. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
