Jennifer was one of the kindest people I've met! She always had a smile on her face, even when she wasn't having a good day. She always spoke of JJ with such love and pride, you could see the joy he brought to her life. Rest in paradise, Jennifer, You will be missed. Kathy L

I met Jennifer the first day she started at Giant eagle. WE instantly became friends, and I asked her if she wanted to babysit my kids. It was an instant connection, for both Jennifer and my boys. Couple years later we discovered that my boys were Jennifer's fourth cousins. That explain the instant connection. Jennifer was always a joy to be around. She could always put a smile on your face. Jennifer adored her son JJ. And spoke highly of the Brown family. It breaks my heart to lose a friend at such a young age, she will always be loved, and truly be missed. Rest in peace Jen we love you.

Jennifer was an incredibly kind and patient person and she always made an effort to help and go the extra mile. I find that genuine compassion can be a rare thing but it wasn't in short supply with her. When Jenn spoke of her son JJ you can feel the love and how immensely proud she was of him. JJ, your mom loves you so much, so much so that everybody she knew would hear about you all the time. We all know your name, and we've heard so many funny stories about you two. It was very sweet and cute how she would always want to brag about you; you were her everything. It's always heartbreaking to lose somebody who was so kind at a young age. Jenn, you, along with a few others helped me feel more confident and welcomed at the store and for that I am very grateful. I didn't know you well or for much time, but the time that we did have I could see that you were a very sweet and honest person. Rest in peace Jennifer, you will be missed by many. -Nickie Fornaser

Tonya and I were in cosmetology together and I became friends with her thru her sister. Jen has always been a good soul. She later married Joe who went to St Henry's with my husband and I. I was so happy to see she married someone so kind and was even happier to see her sons pictures thru the years. Her loss to this world will be tremendous. Prayers to you all. Jen was truly an exceptional person.
