Rest in peace my beautiful friend, I know you have a new healthy body now and you are at peace with our loving Heavenly Father and your Mom and Dad. Your gentle spirit and kind heart will be missed by all who knew you, I will miss going to lunch with you and our talks we had. Fly free with your new wings, your pain and struggles are no more. You will be so missed, but you will always live in my heart and I will see you again someday. I love you always ❤️ Sandy
Jennifer and I were inseparable as children. She was the cool one, always into the more popular music that we would spend hours dancing to.
We got to live right next door to each other for a year when we were in first grade in Enterprise, Utah. That was such a fun time with all the cousins and our aunts and uncles living so close together.
We played dress up in her basement using tutu's underneath these old Victorian style dresses to give them a bustle look. I thought those were the coolest!
We took dance classes together from our aunt Vickie and Jen's mom, aunt Kathleen, was often involved in the costumes for our performances.
We had so many sleepovers and always had the best candy, movies and pizza. We shared our first crushes with each other and sometimes had a crush on the same person.
We hung out at county fairs, entered a table setting competition together and spent countless hours at the Valley Fair Mall.
Jennifer was always SO gentle and kind. We rarely fought because she was more often the peacemaker. She was protective and sensitive to things that I might have found embarrassing, and went above and beyond to make me feel loved and accepted. She had the BEST laugh in the world and it never changed, even as an adult. Her giggle was infectious.
As we grew up, we grew apart and Jennifer went on to become a mother. She has 4 beautiful children who I know love her and will miss her dearly.
It's been so hard to see the struggles that Jennifer endured in the last several years with her health. She was a tender hearted person who felt deeply and wanted to be loved, seen and treated with sensitivity. She wanted to be well and to heal and I feel a great loss that she never got to experience that. While I am saddened by her loss, I am deeply grateful that she has been released from her pain and struggle.
I love you cousin. Your loss will be deeply mourned.
