Tim,
Sorry for the loss of your sister.
We have two ways of remembering people who leave us and start another journey. We either cry over their absence, or smile and remember them through the countless memories that have stayed back. I'm sure Jennifer wants you to smile forever. She's watching you now. Stay strong.

Kaitlin, Although we never met your sister, we are sure that if she was anything like you, she was someone that we would have liked to have known. Please accept our sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. We hope that all of the memories that you and your family have of Jennifer will bring you peace and comfort!
