Jennifer was someone I deeply admired. Her intelligence, elegance, and humility left a lasting mark on me. Her dedication to her work inspired me, and I feel incredibly grateful to have known her. This news has broken my heart, and her memory will stay with me always. I extend my deepest condolences to her family.

Our family sends our love to all mourning Jen today and into the days, months years ahead.  She was a joy to know and a loving, exciting, dynamic and incredible person. Words cannot hold the loss and grief.  We are with you in spirit and in this time of grief.  Love, Adam, Kristen and Wallace.

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our dear friend and colleague, Jennifer. As Secretary of the Board for The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, Jennifer brought unmatched grace, intelligence, and unwavering dedication to everything she touched. We are grateful to have known her, worked alongside her, and witnessed the beauty of her spirit.

This was a fun party when she was visiting Nashville.

This was such a fun client event that I was able to attend in Las Vegas.  Jennifer was such a bright light.

I am so happy I was able to know her outside of being a colleague.  She will be missed.

Devastating news. And much sadness that we have lost such a shining star of a human. So bright and supportive. Loving and kind. I had the joy to work with Jennifer for two decades. And whilst I got to hang out with her only once or twice a year at our industry conference, she was always a good mate. Someone who always made time. I will miss her deeply. My thoughts go to her family, friends, and colleagues. Such a massive gap left. *hugs*

Jennifer and I knew each other for 20+ years.  I had the good fortune to work with her for a few of those years early on in my career but even better fortune to remain friends all this time.  She was always in my corner and went out of her way to support my own development as our careers progressed.  Her loss is profound, I am praying for Chris and their children.  I will miss you, sweet friend.

For those of us who are struggling, I'd like to share an excerpt of an email Jennifer sent to me a few years ago following the loss of our friend/mentor:

"I know we’ve never really talked about religion or faith, and maybe this isn’t polite talk, but I am a firm believer that souls live on.  Whether you believe in heaven or not, I don’t think that the essence of a person just disappears.  For one, they live in our memories.  ... For another, that essence has energy.  The more vibrant the soul, the stronger the energy."  

Jennifer and I were law school classmates during her final year.  She knew she wanted to practice IP law, and she knew she wanted to spend her life with Chris (who she was dating at the time).  Fortunately, she was able to do both.  Although Jennifer's life ended far too soon, her beautiful and vibrant soul lives on, especially in the lives of her children, and her remarkable energy will be with us for as long as we want it to.  Thank you, Jennifer.  May you rest in peace.  With love, Tami

The best word to describe Jennifer is REMARKABLE.  She was remarkable in every role she held:  friend, wife, mom, daughter, lawyer, human.  We became mothers the same year and I will always cherish our coffee chats and lunches to talk life, lawyering and most importantly motherhood.  She was brilliant and beautiful.  Wise and kind.  Her loss is profound, most greatly to her husband and children who she loved beyond measure.  My deepest sympathy to Chris, her kids and all who knew and loved her.

I have had the privilege of being Jennifer's friend since the late 2000's.  She was a shining light, true friend and confidant.  The fact that she was also a brilliant lawyer and legal counselor is secondary to her beautiful loving and giving nature.  I know she is now in heaven, but send heartfelt love and sympathies to her family.

Sending my condolences and any help that my family and I can provide during this time.  I am beyond devastated by this news. Jennifer was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. She was so sweet, smart, caring, compassionate...I can go on and on... and such an amazing trademark attorney.  I will always hold her very near and dear to my heart. Heaven just took one of his Angels back home and she will forever be a guardian angel always with her loved ones in spirit. I love you, Jennifer. Love, Liz Campos

I was privileged to practice law as Jennifer’s  partner at Dickinson Wright.  She was such a talented lawyer and compassionate person.  My sincere condolences to her family.  With kindest regards, Kathleen Campbell Walker
