My heart and condolences are with you as I learned of dear Jennifer’s passing. No more will I dare to dream of sharing a delightful day with her as we laughed and reminisced over times at Wesleyan as music majors at Presser Hall and The Commons. She was such a dear friend to me...an important link to happy times throughout my life. I treasure those memories of Jennifer, dearly, and she will never be truly gone as long as she is remembered. As a godmother to Brantlea, and loved by Emily, who turns forty this week, Jennifer was like an aunt. We will grieve her passing. May you find strength to continue as she would have wanted. You traveled many happy trails together and you supported her through many difficult, last years. God’s peace. Kent.

JENNIFER WAS ONE VERY SPECIAL LADY - WITTY, SMART, CREATIVE WITH AN EYE FOR DECORATING AND GARDENING. HER BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS DECORATE MY HOME FOR EVERY SEASON AND HOLIDAY. JENNIFER WAS ALSO A VERY LOYAL FRIEND. WE WERE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE CROSSED HER PATH. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO KENT AND ALL THOSE WHO LOVED HER. MY ONLY COMFORT RIGHT NOW IS THAT SHE IS WITH HER VERY PRECIOUS MOM AND DAD.

Dear Kent, It breaks my heart that you have lost dear Jennifer. I know your memories will keep your love alive though and I will always remember our years of estate sale madness with a smile. Jennifer is with Chuck and Mary now, and her mom and dad, so all will be well. Take care of yourself. With love, Judy Steagall
