To you my star in the sky,
Without you there is no light in the night.
For without you how will I find my way without this little light of mine?
I’ll be lost and frightened in this black night without my little light in the sky.
Rest in Peace Jenni – We love you with all of our hearts!

Jenni want to St. Elizabeth Adult Day Care for over 10 years where she truly loved to spend time. Jenni was a fan of Pepsi, M&Ms, and hot dogs. Jenni loved the simple things in life and even the littlest things made her happy like a box of crayons and a coloring book. Many of her colorings are hanging on the walls and refrigerators at  St. Anthony’s and Barnes hospitals, and in the homes of those who knew and loved her. If you came to see Jenni, you would end up leaving with one of her pictures that she had colored for you. She also loved to watch TV and movies. Her favorite shows and movies were Two and a Half Men, The Simpsons, Family Guy, LaBamba, Grease, A Christmas Story, The Karate Kid, Carrie and any horror movie in general.

Jenni’s family would like to give a special thank you to St. Anthony’s Hospital and Dr. Tim Mahood, Dr. Nelson, Dr. King, Nurse Claudia (CCU), Nurse Brandy (6100), Nurse Amy (6100), Nurse Jen (6100) and Nurse Ryan (PICRU 8900).  We appreciate the care you gave to our little star.

    Jenni, Luis hit on the head with his poem. You were our light in this world. I do not know how I will see without you. I cannot picture my life without you. All thru your illness, I believed you would get better and you did just not in the way I wanted. I love you so much. I hope you are having lots of fun with Bob, Nenny,PawPaw, and Sugar. I will love you and miss you always. Send me a sign once in a while. Let me know you are really ok. even though I know it. Love always kay.

    Jenni- You were such a beautiful person inside and out. I will never forget your beautiful welcoming smile everytime i seen you, and the way the smallest things in the world light up your world. You have touched so many peoples lives and made this world a better place by you being in it. I know in my heart you are at peace and in heaven with the people you love. It gives me great comfort to know you are home now with our heavenly father and the most beautiful angel looking down and watching over all of us. You were and will always be my beautiful sister. Love always, Desiree, Emily and Keith

    Jenni,
    Your big smile that you always gave me as you were telling me that Uncle Leo was yours will be sadly missed, by both Uncle Leo and I. I know that your time on this earth was shortened, but your smile and your loving ways you had will live forever in all of our memories.

    Hey shit head, I love you and miss you. I will never call anyone that name again. I loved how you would laugh when I called you that. I miss you. You made me laugh when you asked if I was going fishing. I know I will see you again.

    Jenni, oh my I can’t believe your gone. I know you will be missed a great deal. I hadn’t seen you in forever, but I will never forget you, never forget watching Friday the 13th with and so much more. You werer always so happy and it hurts to think of you as gone and how much heart ache your absence causes (especially for your family) but I know you willl be watching over everyong. Even though it had a been a long time since I’d seen you, you will always be in my thoughts and your family in my heart and prayers. Keep an eye on them, I know they will be missing you a great deal.



  12. Bonnie De Larber on January 25, 2011 at 12:00 am

    Jenni, I only knew you from the wonderful things your mother told about you. It seems that heaven is home to another beautiful angel. I am sure you are surrounded by loving angel wings. Rest in peace. You are in my prayers.



  13. Kathy Myers on January 25, 2011 at 12:00 am

    Jenni
    What a beautiful angel you were on earth and now in heaven. I hope you are having a blast with Jesse ( taking a bite out of his donuts)
    Please send your Mom and your Aunt Kay some signs.

    Sup Jin-Nay-Nay! I miss you so much. I know I didn’t visit you that often when you were sick and for that I’m sorry. I regret that now, I just didn’t think it would end up like this. You were doing so good. You weren’t just a cousin to me but more like a sister, I used to paint your nails and do makeovers with you. I used to tease you so much but it was all in good fun and you loved it… well sometimes. I love you and miss you girl.

    To you Jenni!!

    To you the water way so warm now its cold like ice, to touch it burns my flesh.
    To you the sky was so blue it filled me with joy now it’s black that I feel like the monsters are at me feet.
    To you life was joy like candy now it bitter and sour.
    To you Jenni Life was us your family!

  22. Jeannette, PT on February 7, 2011 at 12:00 am

    In the short time I had with Jenni, she made a big impact on me. I talked about her often to my friends and family. Jenni always had a smile on her face and enjoyed the little things in life. We could all learn something from her. I know Jenni is in good hands with her brother, Jesse, at her side who she missed very much. God Bless!



  23. Desiree on February 20, 2011 at 12:00 am

    Today my Emily asked for M&M’s at Walmart. I couldn’t help but think of your beautiful face everytime it lit up at the site of M&M’s hahaha. It brought a smile to my face. Looks like Emily will take after her Aunt Jenny, little Emily loves M&M’s too! When i think about u in Heaven with our brother Jesse I can’t help but think how excited u were to see him at the gates, I’m sure Jesse was waiting for u when he knew your time was coming and was ready with open arms as u ran up to him and our Heavenly Father and all of your other loved ones to welcome u home. I know u are at peace Jenny and the most beautiful angel ever with all of the M&M’s and soda u ever wanted! Love u sis!

    Jenni, 32 year ago, when you were born, you changed my life forever (for the better). You again changed my life forever on Jan 19 when left us to be an angel in heaven instead an angel here on earth. I miss every day. I love you forever no matter where you are. I just wish I could see you.
