I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jenny.  My thoughts and prayers for Chris & Ethan; Gary & Kathy Buttrum; her sister and all the extended family of Klein/Buttrums.  What a tragic loss to lose such a vibrant light so early.  I will miss hearing about all things she did in her day, the sales she had at Verlo and the success she was having with the housing market.  Peace to you.

Our prayers go out to Chris and family. Our hearts are saddened by your loss. May God comfort you, Ethan and your family during these difficult days. Jennifer and you have been a blessing to us, a wonderful, vibrant couple. We lost touch after we moved, we are still enjoying your gift and we will always remember your kindness. Jennifer worked so hard to help us purchase our home and she stuck with us to the end.

I remember Jenny back in high school as a very sweet, fun-loving person.  She was a great friend and never had a harsh word for anyone...always smiling...that's how I will always remember her.  My prayers are with the family.

I'm at a loss for words.  I just want to say so sorry about Jennifer.  may you and your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time.  my thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Chris,

We just found out about your loss and are heartbroken for you and for Ethan.  Please, let us know if there's anything at all we can do for you.  Nothing is too much to ask.

With great sympathy, your neighbors, Don & Sara Pashak (& Molly & Finn)

My sympathy to Chris and family. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Jen always had a smiling face at the NSBE group she led with me.  Even at 7:30 in the morning.  We shared many fun times and will never be forgotten.  There will always be an empty seat for her next to me on Tuesday mornings.

I was blessed to have know Jen for the short time the Lord gave her to us. She was such a loving and generous person who loved her family. My family will miss her tremendously but remember her forever.Our Deepest condolences to the entire family. GOD bless the family and many prayers to all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.  May you allow God to mend your hearts and keep you strong.  I will always remember the beautiful music Jennifer and I made in our handbell choir at SJA.  She will be with you always in spirit.

I was in Jenny's class, and she was one of my best friends in HS.  Life being what it was after High School people go different ways, so we lost touch. We ran into each other at a couple Mary Kay events and had Face Book :)  

She always had the biggest heart for people,and the biggest smile on her face. You couldn't help but find joy around her.

I am truly sorry for the loss that you have to feel at this time.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to her family. Like many others I had the pleasures of knowing Jennifer through school. I too was in melissa class, they both were the most kind people I ever met. Again I am sorry for your lost, I hope you find comfort that she is with God.

I went to high school with Jennifer and reconnected with her on facebook.  She seemed like a vibrant woman and a loving wife and mother. I am so sorry for the loss your family is suffering.  You are all in my prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss.  All our sympathies and many prayers are going out to Melissa and the family.

I taught math to Jennifer at St. Joan Antida High School and connected with her last year on Facebook. My sympathy to the family~ I couldn't believe it when I heard the news~ 

Blessings to all,
MaryLane Blomquist

All our prayers and sympathies to Jenny's family.  She was a year behind me in High School but had many of her classes with me.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My sympathies to her family and friends. I too was a classmate of hers at SJA. I remember her always being sweet, caring and having a kind heart. You will be missed.

Sincerest sympathies to Jenny's family.  I remember her fondly from high school (I was in Melissa's class) and singing in the ensemble.  She was always so kind and wonderful to be around.  You would never see her without a smile on her face.  She and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Words can not express how saddened we are for your loss.  May God hold you tightly during this tough time.  God's peace be with you.

I didn't know Jen well but I always thought she was a sweetheart and I want to extend my sympathy to her family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

U will be missed..I have beem truly blessed by God for allowing me to have met and spend 4 yrs of my life with. Your  family is in my prayers

I want to extend my sympathies to the klein's and Buttrum's. I was a classmate of Jenny's from 1991 to I believe 1994. She was always kind in school. Getting to know her again on Facebook, I've come to learn that she was still the same sweet Jenny. May she be an angel for all of you.
