In my walk through my rock garden, I hold her memory close and cherish the few times she shared her story with me. Peace to her soul, and In Heaven may her soul be embraced by those who passed through the veil before her.

Jena popped into my mind yesterday. I decided to google her and I was saddened to hear of her passing. You were always a beacon of hope and light. I will miss your smile and laugh. I hope you are reunited with your babies in heaven.

I never met Jena face-to-face. Many, many years ago she donated a gift certificate for her hand massage to me. I was soliciting for donations for raffles for fundraisers we were having for children with cancer. She quickly responded and donated. Over the years I wondered about her for some odd reason and I googled her once. That was when I learned about her 9 year old Daughter and Husband and then the extended story of her triplets. Just so stunned. We never always know where someone is coming from, what they have been through. I had another odd moment tonight and she came to mind all these years later, again. And here I find her. I am so sorry she is not living a life. I don't know how this happened. I am sorry for anyone who loved her. I am now saying goodbye to her and there will be no more "checking in" on her. I wish her great peace

I got to meet Jena at the conference in Virginia in 2015. She and I connected right away,and got to talk when she was able. I really enjoyed the time I got to share with her. Jena and I even stayed in touch for a bit after we returned home. It really shattered a piece of my soul to learn of her passing. But to be with her family again is where she truly wanted to be. I hope she is watching over us and found her peace.

I am so sorry to just now learn of Jena's passing. I went to high school with her and reconnected for a bit a few years back. I know she was a tortured soul with the loss of her daughters, ex, and nephew. I hope she has now found peace. No matter what, Jena, you'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I met Jena at the 2016 In Loving Memory conference and she struck me as one of the nicest people. We were instant friends and I am proud to have called her my friend. May her soul rest and her heart be relieved to be with her family again.

I was so very sad to hear of Jena's passing. I will always remember her as the laughing, dancing, precocious child who always had a million questions. My sincere sympathy to Don, Angela and the family. Requiem aeternam.

I will miss Jenna. We always had interesting conversations via email, phone, letters and as we met at conferences.
She recently participated in our now childless conference in Fairfax, VA and was on a multiple loss panel. She had so much to offer to so many other bereaved parents.
I know she made some new friends at this gathering and I was hoping she could begin a new journey without so many problems.
Jenna will be missed by many of us.

My heart breaks to hear of Jena's passing. I knew her through her volunteer work at the Mokena Chamber of Commerce years ago, and through St. Mary Church. She had a big heart, always a kind word to say, and her skills in massage therapy helped me get through a very stressful time in my life. She had more than her share of heartache in our world, and I trust that she's happily sitting with our Lord now.
