  • Jennifer was a dear friend and this news comes as a shock. I cherish all the laughs and cries we shared over the years. She was full of love and always so caring with whom ever she met. Such a wonderful people and animal lover. We met in our twenties, Jennifer had just graduated from nursing school, she was my neighbour and then we became roommates. We had many great times over the years. Jennifer loved to laugh and had such a wonderful sense of humour. My heart is with her daughters, Brittany and Jessica two angels that came into her life which Jennifer absolutely loved and cherished every moment. She was very proud of her girls. Huge hugs to Winnie for always being there and caring so deeply for Jennifer. My heart is with all the family. Jennifer you are in my heart forever. - Posted by: Darcia Fenton (Friend) on: Aug 15, 2015
