    I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer at Hilton Women’s Care while she was a senior at Heritage High. She was a really sweet girl and was a great help with her computer knowledge. I still have a beautiful angel Christmas ornament she made. Prayers for comfort for her family.

      Yes Vivian, Jennifer spoke highly of you. She was also our tech advisor and computer expert; one of many reasons we will miss her and her beautiful smile. Just knowing she is in a far better place makes is easier to accept our loss.

    Jen was one of my favorite people to be around in middle school and high school. Always lit up a room when she entered. So sorry for your loss and this amazing beautiful soul will be highly missed. My thoughts will be with your family.
