I met Jen many years agoe.  She was always running around doing errands and taking her children everywhere.  She  deeply loved her husband so much but, she knew one day soon she would lose him.  She struggled with that everyday.  She believed her children and family  would get her through.  Things happen in our lives that are not fore seen, do you believe in karma?  Do onto others as you want others to do to you .  Jen taught me that. Why do people act the way they do?  Jen was blind sided  when her family was taken away.  Sadness and quietness consumed her, Not like Jen at all.  
My memories of Jen are of every time  I saw her, she was full of  sunshine, energetic, and a loving Mother and wife.  She would come in the door  ( I mean literally just walk right in) happy and smiling,  That’s how I remember her.  Like a  ray of sunshine. 
I miss you Jen
And to her children:  William and I miss you guys,  just remember your Moms loves you and  that she’s always with you

Jennifer was an amazing wife and mother. I miss her so much. I thought about calling her in October, but I didn't do it. I want to thank Bonnie for her statement that Jennifer would still be alive if McKenna had not been taken from her. That's the truth. Jennifer should have been treated more kindly by her in-laws.

I don't know where to begin I just found out tonight that you have passed. Although we were not close I can remember all the care you gave to your husband while he was ill,and what a great mom you were to your children. Im so saddened to hear this news and hope you are resting in peace with your husband. Your children will know and have to know what a great and loving person you were. ❤️😢❤️

Jen was always the brightest light in the room.  I will always cherish the memories we shared in our lives. Jen was an incredible and loyal friend. I love her so much and will miss her forever. 

Raw sadness....tears, tears and more tears...
questions, confusion and some anger.

We’ve always kept in touch over the years but the last seven months we’ve talked nearly everyday and sometimes several times a day.
I saw you  progressively getting better, you were fine after McKenna was born. I knew you would be ok and believe you would be alive if she hadn’t been unfairly taken from you.

I’ve known you since you were 13 years old. 
I have so many special memories of you and the girls....Holly,  Angie, Janie, Annette and Emily, it seems like you were always together.

Regular slumber parties after the football games. Always waking up to ripples of laughter in the house and smelling bacon and pancakes for breakfast. All the fun times we had at the beach house with the monkey and Woody.  Study groups, school dances and so many other beautiful  life moments.

I feel that you are supposed to be here, this whole thing feels so wrong on every level. Please know that you are etched in my heart and will love you forever.

Hug Johnathan for me he was such a good man and he loved you. I’ll see you on the other
side...Bonnie

You spoke so highly of Jackie, I know she was a great source of comfort for you. I would like to leave my number and ask her to call me if she reads this 407-620-5434







Jennifer was an amazing person. So generous and always willing to help out whenever with whatever was needed. I am so sorry for your loss and so sorry I hadn't kept in better touch with her. I hope she is resting peacefully now and knows she was loved.

Jennifer - You gave everything for your children, I remember the crazy Williams car polls and the weekend you took Skye and Morgan to Winter Haven.  Skylar loved coming to your house. I’m sorry I did not keep in touch.   Morgan - if you need anything please reach out to Skye. Take care, I know God will keep your children safe. You will be missed. 

So many great memories since we were young.  I will always cherish our times together with our babies.  You were the first person to jump in and help out without anyone asking you to.  I joked that you should move in and be my wife. Lol
Such a huge heart!  Would do anything for anyone!  I will miss you but I know you are in heaven with the love of your life!  Until we meet again. ❤

To the Blackwell and Rees' my condolences go out to each and every one of you! Jennifer was a sweetie, she is pictured here with myself and my brother who passed in 2007. Blessings to you and the children. Hugs and prayers! You are loved!

Jennifer, you worked so hard you gave everything to your children every day you woke up to be a mother, every day you took care of Jonathan you lived to be his wife. In the last 6months you were lost without it all, I am so sorry that your fight was so hard and ended too soon.  I know you could never get the support you needed and it was harder than you wanted us to know.  The world was cruel to you, and kept kicking when you were down.  I know how hard it was to wake up every day after Jonathan passed, but you did it for your children, and were doing the best you could being the mom they needed.  I watched you become alive again when you knew McKenna’s birth was near, the excitement in your eyes, the love that you gave her in first few days.   I wished you could have believed  how much you were needed, and loved; you are missed.  🙏❤️😔

We are very saddened by this news. Many prayers for Jennifer’s children and family for guidance, comfort, and peace. We are truly heartbroken and sorry for your loss.
❤️ Kelli and Lillian Geary
