Personal note from Jennifer’s daughter, Chelsea

As we continue to figure out a few things through my mother's work and other finances, my brother has been thinking about the funeral plans.

I have an update on this, a further update shall follow: We wish to hold the funeral and celebration of life at the end of this month, maybe around the 27th. I will send a confirmation update on the date, time, and where. My brother is in communication with CRB, Church of Rancho Bernardo as well as the one my mother wanted to preside over her funeral, Brandon Kohl.
