I am very sorry to hear about Jennifer's passing - I only knew her briefly but her strength, her love for her son and her desire to always remain strong for the ones she loved made a huge impact on me.

So sorry to hear about her. My mom used to babysit her when we were kids. She was my younger sisters age. So sad she always came to see me at my work all the time to visit. Will always remember her beautiful smile - Posted by: Charlene (Old family friend) on: Mar 16, 2014

I met Jen through daycare many moons ago and she came in and out of my life from then on. An amazing woman, mother, friend doesn't begin to describe her. The world has lost a wonderful soul. My heart goes out to all her family and dearest friends. Gone but never forgotten. - Posted by: Crystal Regier (Friend) on: Mar 16, 2014

I met Jen one year ago when she started dating my son. I fell in love with her right away. We all went to dinner together and always messaged each other right up until the day before she passed at 5:30 p.m. on March the 7th. Little did I know that this would be the last time. Never once did she ever complain about her illness. She put on such a brave face for everyone. She was an inspiration to so many of us and so strong and unselfish. Instead she wanted to spare us all the pain while she suffered in silence. Always a smile on her face. My prayers and condolences go out to Dylan, her mother, sisters, family and her friend Sabrina... Just remember she was a saint and earned her wings. She is pain free..I feel very privileged of know such a beautiful Angel...xox Fatima, Mandie and Mom - Posted by: Fatima Cyrenne (Friend) on: Mar 15, 2014

I met Jen in grade 7 and I can't believe that it has been 25 years since then. I spent many weekends at her house and will always cherish those memories. Her smile, humor and laughter was contagious back then and was up until the last time I saw her in January. She touched so many people and I can't believe she is gone. She fought so hard and was so brave, always with a smile for everyone. My love and prayers go out to Dylan, Betty and Peter and her dad, stepmom and sisters and her 'not by blood' family Tammy and Sabrina and all who loved her. Please know she was truly loved and will forever be missed. xoxox Kirsty - Posted by: Kirsty Randell (Clarke) (Long time friend ) on: Mar 15, 2014

I went to high school with Jen, and we kept in touch off and on, mostly through Facebook. Jen always made time for people, even though she was very popular, and even when her own time was precious. She always had a gift of making everyone in her life feel like they were special and loved. I hope that she knows how much she is special and loved too. I'm sure she does. I'm sorry and my sympathy goes out to her family, especially her son Dylan, and to all her friends as they deal with this very difficult loss. I can't even imagine the pain, and my prayers for courage and strength at this time, as well as for a deepening love and comfort in each other are with you all. - Posted by: Amber Kendel (friend from school) on: Mar 14, 2014

I only knew Jennifer in Jr. High. At a time when many classmates were cruel, mean, and unforgiving, she was one of the very few people that made an effort to be nice and befriended me. She was mature and recognized that I had feelings that did not deserve to be trampled upon. I will always remember that about Jennifer. She will be missed. - Posted by: Quinton B (Friend from school) on: Mar 14, 2014

I am truly sorry for your loss I've known Jen all her life I was her godfather also my wife worked with her, we knew she was sick but not to the extent she kept things very private, every time I saw her she always gave me a hug. She will be truly missed my heart and prayers go out to Dylan and rest of Jens family. Ken - Posted by: Ken Peattie (Godfather) on: Mar 13, 2014

I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Jen. One of my favorites was when we were around 12 years old, she came over to my house and we set up the wet banana slip and slide, we covered our bodies in mud from the ditch and slid down the slide repeatedly. The silly things we did, quite often I wonder how we ended up doing these things. We always had a good time no matter what we were doing. I have been friends with Jen for 24 years, even though I moved away we kept in contact, every time I saw her it was like we were never apart. She was such a wonderful person. I am grateful for having the privilege of being her friend. My condolences to Betty and Peter, please be strong. Thinking of you both. Also condolences to Jennifer's family that I did not have the privilege of getting to know. Love Allison Maki - Posted by: Allison Maki (Good Friend) on: Mar 12, 2014

I am at lost for words, I knew Jen from school & she came with smiles & so much positive energy to a few of my Zumba classes. I know she was loved by many and was very popular in school. She was always so confident and had such a positive attitude. I remember her sharing her story with me because she couldn't attend one of my Zumba Fundraisers for Cancer Research. She was having treatments the day of the event. I was in complete shock. Jen you were a beautiful person inside & out and my deepest sympathy goes out to your son, your family and those who were closest to you. You are in my thoughts always.

My most sincerest condolences to Jen's friends and family. I worked with her and Dylan at Pantages and also Rainbow Stage. She had a good sense of humor and kept me smiling. I was lucky enough to be gifted with an Angel Wing ring from her....I will cherish it and be reminded of her whenever I wear it. RIP - Posted by: Kim Pododworny (Friend/co worker) on: Mar 12, 2014

I was shocked to hear of Jennifer's passing at such a young age. Years ago when Dylan was young I babysat him while his mom worked, and she was a hard worker and always so concerned for Dylan's well being. Sorry Dylan that you lost your Mom so young. Take Care of yourself. - Posted by: Lisa Johnson (friend) on: Mar 11, 2014

Jennifer was a wonderful person. She worked very hard all her life to look after her home and her son Dylan. We spent many times together with Jen at Rick and Gwenda's with her sisters Elise, Erinn and Juliette. The last time I saw Jen was at my daughter's wedding social on January 9. Though in pain from radiation treatments, she came to celebrate the occasion with us and we managed to have a few laughs together. I will always remember her beautiful smile. She fought hard against the cancer that eventually took her life. She was well loved by many people. I will miss her presence in my life and send condolences to her families in this difficult time. Thinking of you all, Lyn - Posted by: Lyn Peterson (Family friend (Rick and Gwenda)) on: Mar 11, 2014
