I had the honor and blessing of meeting Jenny when our family moved to Tennessee in 2002. I stayed in touch with her after we moved in 2005 to Texas. Her smile, her laughter always brightened my day. Jenny was so easy to love and I will miss her so much. I will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.
Dear Trudy, James and Family,
Bryce and I are so very sorry to hear of Jennifer's passing. Jennie was a lovely lady and a gentle spirit. Jennie and our daughter, Stephanie, were in class together at Crockett Elementary School in the 4th grade. Jennie had a delightful presence. It was a privilege to have known her.
Your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers for your comfort and peace.
May God bless all of you.

Oh my dear Jim, Trudy and Julie. My thoughts and prayers are you at this difficult time but please know that Jenny was truly a gift to you, those who knew her and especially to me. I have fond memories of you bringing Jenny to the swim meets to watch and cheer Julie and to be part of the NAC family. How Jenny could light up a room with that beautiful smile of hers. I am fortunate to have known her and her wonderful and caring family .Mark Peterson
I was saddened to hear of Jenny's passing. I felt blessed to have gotten to know her and share her enthusiasm of riding - what a special bond she had with hi there. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Chris Piloske
Thinking of spending time with Jenny as she rode Hi There always makes me smile. What a wonderful and loving family you are and a blessing to all who know you. I pray for peace, comfort and wonderful memories cherished.

Jim & Trudy you know how much Jenny meant to me and all her friends at Saddle Up! I had the honor and privilege to teach her riding on her favorite pony "Hi There". The bond that Jenny had with this pony was remarkable and brought many a tear to our eyes. One special memory was when we took the pony to your house after Jenny returned from a long stay in hospital, Hi There refused to leave until she went back to the house to say one more goodbye to her buddy Jenny.
We were all inspired by Jenny's indomitable spirit and her sense of fun and enjoyment. We have stayed a tight group of friends thanks to our time spent with Jenny. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Much love Patti
Our family met Jenni in Clearwater, Florida at the Grand Bellagio pool. We admired Jenni's great taste in bathing suits and cover ups! Jenni was always a pleasure to be around and will be missed dearly.
Love & Hugs from your Canadian friends .... Warren, Sherry & Brianne Sikorski
I met Jenni at Centennial High when she was 16. My expertise as a certified diabetes educator brought us together. She and I spent many hours together as I began providing respite care for Jenni while Trudy and Jim spent a few hours away. But let me be clear I got the greatest gift while caring for Jenni. I got to know the young lady inside her that liked boys, and babies, and gossip. She loved the olympics and swimming and she loved to watch figure skating. She wanted everything to be just so...Everything had to be Jenni's way and those of us who loved her were okay with that. I will never get to say, " come on Jenni let's wrestle the bear." I see her standing and I do mean standing near Demian. I love you Jenni

My heart goes out to all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. You all have been the most wonderful family, particularly in your care of Jenny. Wish I could be with you. If there is anything I can do for you here in Brentwood, please let me know. Much love, Anne Williams
