Brian, in the short time that I connected with Jennifer by phone, I consider the time a true blessing, as I got to know her beautiful spirit through her voice and words she spoke. In this past year she inspired me with her patience and kindness as we worked together by phone. Each conversation we had, I heard the passion and love in her voice for you and your furry family you both love. Even though I had not met Jennifer in person, her strong sense of character and peaceful spirit shined through each and every time we spoke together.

Brian, my prayers and thoughts are with you daily. May the love and memories that you shared together help you through this difficult time.

Brian, I can’t even begin to tell you how heartbroken I am. I have so many fun memories of working on events for Arizona Theatre Company with Jen, so many long lunches after our theatre days. So many shared stories and pictures of our dogs and rescue stories. Just a big hole her death has left. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as is Jennifer. Her big heart and passion for life has inspired so many and will live on in our hearts.

So Sorry for the loss of your remarkable life partner.

I did not have the honour to have known her in person but it feels like I know her a little by reading the inspiring story in the book: “From Us For You”.

May the special memories you made together help you through this difficult time.

Brian, I am so sorry for the loss of you queen! She was brave and beautiful. Although I never met her in person, her life story that was published in the book, From Us for You, impressed and inspired me. She has had a difficult walk through her battle with cancer yet even in her pain she sought to inspire others and she will continue to inspire and motivate those who continue in their fight against cancer. Brian, you are an inspiration yourself, the way you stood by her and carried as much of her burden as you possibly could. May you remember all the very best times more vividly and may the painful ones fade away.

I have known Jenny since she was born. I knew her Mom,Dad,Grandmother,Grandfather and her 2 Aunts. We all lived in Hartsdale,NEW YORK, 2 minutes from each other. We were friends. I was like a big brother to her MOM. When Jenny was born I was so happy for them. As Jenny grew, we bonded so much that I considered her as my niece. She always called me Uncle Joey. When she called to tell me that she was getting married,I was so happy for her and Brian. At this time Jenny lived in Phoenix and I lived in Las Vegas.

Brian, when you called me that night,I was heartbroken and we cried together on the phone like I am crying now. Jenny was such a wonderful person and will be missed by everyone that knew her. I think about her, every day, like you, Brian. Jenny, may you Rest In Peace.

I love you,

Uncle Joey

My good friend, Diedre Kaye, who were mutual friends, invited us all to Air Yoga on a beautiful and sunny day. Jennifer was a breath of fresh air. She helped me to have the courage to jump into the yoga “hammock” and enjoy myself. She was a vibrant and fun. God bless your family; she lived her life to the fullest.

I’m honored to say that I had the wonderful pleasure of knowing Jennifer personally. My sister Michelle gave me that opportunity many many years ago when her and Jennifer became friends in the 90’s it was an instant bond that only got stronger throughout the years. It was always a good time when Jennifer and Brian came to celebrate with our family in many occasions, those are the memories that will live on. She is such a talented , beautiful person in and out. May Jennifer sweet kind soul be forever sparkling for eternity. Until we meet again my friend.
