Jennifer was gifted with her hands and could make something very great out of something very little. She used her gifts to bless others with home cooked meals, hand crafted gifts that made you feel special. Jennifer had a compassionate heart for others in need and spent her time helping heal the brokenness of the world.

Nothing consumed and overflowed her heart with joy more that her 4 children. Her children kept her heart tethered to the world. Each of her children, possess the best qualities of their mother. She had a fiery personality that left an impression on you. Her voice and her laugh were intoxicating and could fill a room quickly. Jennifer loved to laugh at her own jokes.
