I have had the pleasure to know Jennifer for 19 years. Her spirit, spunk, and willingness to fight is something that is to be admired.
Jennifer was a true friend. We shared a lot of laughs and a few cries. I loved her giggle.
My prayers are with her family and most especially her special gifts that she gave to the world-her children.
Jennifer I will carry your spirit with me always and you will never be forgotten.
Love ya girl,
Brandi
