Things have changed / Kristy Dennis (Good Friend )
Hey Jen, how are you doing in Heaven? I know better than ever but I sure miss you. I wanted to write because I haven't in a while and also because there have been so many changes since the last letter I wrote you. I didn't get married, I'm single actually and very happy. I am single now and loving it because I haven't been single since high school. I wish you were around to get crazy again with me now. I never got to get too crazy because I always felt tied down but now it's a different story. I am having fun with my friends and family and being careful at the same time. I am half way done with my master's and plan on graduating next Dec which is not that far away. I am still working at the counseling center and am actually a counselor now and love it. I knew this is what I wanted to do since I was really young. I wonder all the time what you would be doing these days if you were still around. I bet it would have been something to do with animals or old people because you had a passion for both. I hope that everything is going ok for you in Heaven and that you actually read what everyone writes you because all of us want to tell you how much we miss and love and also how we will never forget you. How could any of us forget "Jen the Queen"!!! =] Love Ya! -Kristy

Hey beautiful girl. I'm still missing you. Still think of you everyday. Wish you were here w me. My life keeps changing. People come in and out of it daily but your shoes have yet to be filled. The empty space in my heart trys to stay filled w are memories. :'( I miss you soo much Jen. I keep thinking the next friend is gonna be the one like you.. and that Ill have that bond back. But I know thats not the case. And I dont think it will ever happen. I know I cant make miracles happen and have you back. You are truly and irreplaceable sole. You are you and there is no one close to being like you. Trust me Ive been searching for almost 5 yrs now. I just want you to know that im very thankful for having you in my life. Everyday I thank god that I was blessed to know you and become as close as we did. I made it through so much because of you. Hope you can still hear me... my thoughts, my wishes, my prayers and I hope you can help me guide my way through all this bull shit im dealing with. And can help me and give me enough courage to stick w turning a new leaf to my life. Let everything from my past go that needs to go and make tomorrow and the next day better and better. I want to have a healthy happy living life style and I want it all sober. I want to be able to have that mind set like we had when we were kids. We didnt need anything to make us have a good time. Ive been partying since we were young adults and Ive gained nothing from it. Just trained myself to use it as a crutch to coping w reality and the hard ships that come w life. Well lifes tough no one has it easy. And it could always be a hell of alot worse. I had this open house at my salon and it was so nice. We had it catered orderves wine the works... and this older women came up to me asking me about the extensions I was doing during the party. (they came out freakin awesome too 12 hours of work... and im talkin perfection :) but anyways she was the sweetest older women and it looked like she had some surgery done to her face i dont know for what but it just made me want to cry... she was so happy and positive! And it just made me think that going through whatever she went through must have been so hard and it made me a little more thankful for everything I have and to not be so hard on myself. No one has a perfect life. All my limbs work great and Ive been blessed w a natural talent w hair... and Im 22 have my carreer and know excactly what I want out of life now. Not very many 22 year olds can say that. Im very proud of where Im at and I just want you to know Im so thankful you were right by my side the whole time. And I know your lookin down on me very proud too. Im 100% independant. I love it. Its an awesome feeling getting in my awesome infiniti g35 I got all on my own. I wish you were w me in the passenger seat.... you some what still are. Thats always gonna be your spot. Whether its a pinto or a van thats your spot :) luv you jen. luv yuh like a sis.... still have your letter dont read it to often its to hard... I have everything still. always will... taking that letter to my grave. :'( luv you jen. xoxo Close

Hey Jen! / Kristy Dennis (good friend )
Hey Jen, how are things up there in heaven. Things down here are still going a mile a minute like always. I just wanted to write to say hi and let you know that I am thinking about you like always. I am sure that you know by now but me and Melisa are friends again after just growing apart when we were younger and we are really close again and it feels good, she is a good friend and she is going to be in my wedding. Amber's wedding is next weekend too and I wish you could have been there for both of ours but I know you will be there in spirit walking down the aisle right next to us or at least I hope so. I love and miss you so much take care and I will talk to you again soon. Close
Hi!/ Sheila Chairez (Friend)
Hi Jen, it's me! I haven't been here in about a year or so, and your site is still going strong. Everyone has changed so much. I'm married to Oscar...remember the Oscar Meyer song we sang to the team everyday "My bologna has a first name.....Ha!!!" I've also had a little girl, her name is Shayna Angelica, she's beautiful Jen! She looks nothing like me but oh well. I saw Stacey lit a candle and she was remembering us playing softball; I remember everything too. You know we used to hurt eachother pretty good...remember when the pitching machine wasn't aligned right and I put the ball in, the ball hit the net then your head....oh my God that was sooo funny. Well, it was nice dropping by your site...look after everyone K. Lots of love, Sheila Close
How time flies! / Kristy Dennis (Friend)
Hey Jen, can't believe how fast things are happening in my life and how you are not here to share them with me. I am getting married in August and am sooo excited, your skinny self would have probably been in my wedding being all silly and making everyone laugh as usual. Sometimes I remember when Adrian and I just got together and were spending a lot of time together and you were sad because we were so close and then we just hung out less and less and sometimes I wish I would have known what was going to happen to you because then I would have tried to spend more time with you but nobody knows when things like this are going to happen. All I know is I sure miss you and sometimes my dad and I talk about you and laugh, he loved you too because you were a tomboy just like me and fun to be around. Well, I just started my Master's program this week and am taking my first class and it kind of blows my mind how fast time flies because I am only 22 and am going for my Master's. I wonder what you would have been doing by now? I still haven't been to your grave for who knows what reason, I think I am just scared that I am going to feel the hurt all over again and I don't want to do that. Losing you was so hard I am just glad that Adrian was there to support and comfort me. We had some of the best times when we were younger with several of them ending with us coming home late at night and talking to your mom about what we did that night and of course we lied because we weren't doing anything that was up to no good but that was because we were young and crazy like everyone is at that age and I think your mom understood that but nobody would have guessed that alcohol would have been one of the reasons that you are not here today. I hope some people learned from what happened to you because so many people I know have gotten DUI's since you passed and they are not thinking of what COULD happen, nobody thinks about that. In the end, I just wish you were here to enjoy life with me, your mom and famliy and all of your many friends that miss you. Otterpop season is coming around the corner and ever though it is freezing outside I am still eating them in the freezing cold and will still be eating them for years to come, we both just loved them! Your mom wrote me an email about otterpops before when I mentioned them in an older letter and she had me balling, it made me realize the hurt she feels and how the simple things we say mean the world to her because of how we remember you and we will always remember you. I love you Jen and I will talk to you soon.... -Kristy Close

Well Jen just so you know I didn't settle and I found that companionship Ive always wanted. Thank you so much Jen. That letter I got a week after you passed away is why Im at where Im at.

Its everything I need and want :) Its crazy it feels like my life is just falling into place. And its where you wanted it and me too. The only thing is I wish you were here w me.

Wobble, Wobble / Just A. Friend (Friend)
Hey Jen! I can't believe this is really what life is like without you. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that things would turn out this way. I know I'm supposed to move on with my life but I can't. I see you everywhere, in my dreams, in my thoughts, and always in my prayers. I titled this wobble wobble because of one night when we went walking around by the public swimming pool and it was so cold. I sure miss those days. Close
Thinking of you! / Danielle F.
Hey, women. its been so long since I have stopped by to say hi. I think of you all the time. How could i forget you. How could any one forget some one like you. I hope you are keeping an eye on your mini me. (Bubbles) She is so cute. It's like you were here to teach her all you little habits. When she thinks her little tongue sticks out. Maybe she will be a little ball player too. She has her ups and downs. When she has her downs i know your by her side. She has shown so many times that she is a fighter. I know you wont let any thing happen to her. Miss you and i hope for the best for your mom, pat, and melissa and every one else. Keep them strong!! Luv Ya Always, Danielle Close
I am having a baby Jen!! Its crazy i know. I am sure you already know that news but i wanted to tell you for myself. I can just hear you now with your excitment for me and great spirit telling me, "your so beautiful?" i love that phrase because of you Jen. I hope i can instill in my children what your wonderful mother instilled in you. A great spirit full of light and happiness with a smile that could brighten anyones day! Also teaching them to live life to the fullest as you did with no regrets and loving every single minute of it. I see the kind of person it made you and i want my kids to be just like t hat. You made a difference in my life by instilling those wonderful things because of who you were. Who you were affected the way i go about my life in a little different way, with a better attitude!!! It is people like you that make the world a more happy place and i wish more people were like that. I will one day tell my kids about you and the great person and friend you were to me. I am so glad that you and i became friends because i remember the first day you came to volleyball and thought i was a brat. I really am sorry if i made you feel that way, but i am so glad now i can laugh about it because were became such amazing friends. I love you Jen and will forever share our great memories and the stories of what an awesome person you were. Be your moms strength for she needs you the most right now this holiday season!! I LOVE YOU LADY!!! (corky sends his love too) Close
How I miss you today and everyday. The holidays will never be the same without you.
I hope you know how loved and missed you are. Not a minute goes by that I don't wish I could go back in time and have you with me again.
You know the dilemma I've been having over Thanksgiving dinner and you probably know what I've decided to do. It wouldn't mean anything to anyone but me and you, so I'll leave it at that...
Stay with us this holiday season and always.. We need your strength.
Forever Love!! / Cortney Clark (friend)
Your are such an amazing person Jen. I think of you all the time and wonder what you would be doing now. I know you are in great presence and safe from all this turmoil on earth. I will forever love you girl and will always remember you and our good times we shared. You will never be forgotten. You bring such joy in my heart when i think of you and that will never change. you had that way of doing that to people. You are missed greatly but forever loved! i love ya girl!!! Close
Never found words.. / Jessica Davis (High School Friend )
Hey Jen, I've found myself looking at this page many many many times over the years and have not known exactly what to say. Every time I go home to visit my mom I see the "adopt a road" sign in rememberance of Megan, and I think of you. I miss our days in high school, sometimes just wish we could go back. So many of us have grown up and have had children of our own, I just wish your parents could enjoy having a little "jen" running around. I saw you just 2 days prior to the accident. Remembering your smile puts a smile on my face. We all miss you!! Hope you're looking down from heaven upon all of us that think of you.. We'll see you sometime soon. Thinking of you always, Jess Close
jen jen jen.... you are always on my mind. Such a special person. I wish wish wish everyday you were here w me. I was thinking just now about what my life was like 3 yrs ago and it was pretty bad. I was so sad jen. I know you know how hard i struggled... I still do from time to time. You are such a blessing to my life. You saved me... jen your love will always be in my heart. You were the best thing to happen to my life. I will never get to experience what I experienced w you. There isnt another you. And I have finally came to the realisation that you are one and only jen. I will never have a friend that can even compare to you. People like you dont fall out of the sky... I just wish I was doing your hair sooo bad. Girl you would be so hooked up. We'de be living the high life... you would be so spoiled. your hair would be banging all the time... u know this! Like we always planned .... we were going to live next door to each other when we were old and married and we would drink our coffee every morning and watch are hubbys moe the lawn and we would sit and complain about there snoring and smelly feet and hairy bodies...etc :(.... not fair. not fair at all. I miss you jen.... :'( luv yuh like a sis kritta b
GIRL!!/ Cortney (Nix) Clark (friend)
I often wonder where you would be and what you would be doing with your life! its crazy to think that there are so many different things that come to my mind that i could see. I would be doing to you what i am doing to everyone else and keeping in touch with them and always telling them how much i miss them, think about them and most important that i love them. I keep in touch so we never lose track of where everyone is at cause i want to see all my friends again. they mean to much to me. even though we go our separate ways, they are always in my heart. but something is different, you are not here for me to tell it to, but i know you can feel it in my heart and we have a connection here. You are always on my mind! There are things every day that remind me of you and it keeps you close to my heart. You have made me stronger and i thank you for that. You have made many people stronger by the example you set while you were oh this earth. You l it up a room with your beautiful smile, and that alone could and probably did change many peoples lives. i know it did mine. you didn't have many dull moments. I love you Jen!! Close
Well Jen, I don't know what to say. You should be turning 21 today and you should be doing something fun to celebrate. You loved your birthday. you called it "Christmas" in July. That's why we put Christmas lights on your fort every year for your sleep overs.
I remember this day being filled with girls and laughter, all of you jumping on the trampoline all night and hanging out by the fire. I'm sure the neighbors didn't get much sleep, I know I didn't :) but who cared, birthdays only come once a year and it was your day. I wanted it to be special, always.
I hope you remember me, your life, your birthdays, us!
Oh Jen, what I wouldn't do for one more day with you.. I would trade you places right now, this instant if I could..
I'm heartbroken and there is no happy birthday for you now, just your birthday..
I love you Jen and miss you with every part of my being!

Hey there "Jen the Queen"!! / Kristy Dennis (Good Friend )
Jen, for some time now it seems that things have been nothing but crazy. When things get tough I somehow begin to think of you and how fun and careless you made life seem when I was around you. The times that you would do anything for your friends no matter what it was or trying to get your friends that didn't get along to make up so that you could have us all by your side all the time. You were the most careless yet the most loving person I can think of. I remember going to you mom's work also just to hang out and talk to her and make her laugh because of how crazy we were. I also remember when your mom took us to get our tongues pierced and she started freaking out because she thought you were going to die and she really didn't know that my dad did not give me permission to do it and I remember her asking me if I was sure my dad thought it was ok and the both of us assured her that it was, we were so bad, anything for each other but you mom was the best too. We were just two crazy teens looking for something to make is laugh as hard as we could and most of the time we would find that something and that was what made us have so much fun together. Those good times are things to remember forever but the one thing I will always remember is how much of a good-hearted person you were and how your family and friends came before anything and that is the way it should be, always. And just because your gone from earth, your soul is still here and you still are my friend and you will still come first along with the rest of my friends and family, I love you Jen. Talk to you later and don't have too many people laughing too hard in heaven I don't want anyone peeing on me, haha just kidding.....;) Close
:'( 7/18/07 / Krista M. (sis)
Dang it jen! I miss you so much. You have no idea. I would give anything to have you here. Lately I just can't get you off my mind and how bad I wish you were here. I can't believe that this really had to happen. Im so sad today. I wish you were here Jen. Your my best friend. You're my sister. I can close my eyes and go back to when we were hanging out cruisin the streets of holbrook and it feels like Im there again. Pulling up to your moms wrk to walk to hensleys. Or telling me I gotta go its almost noon I eat lunch w my mom every day. Jen you are so lucky to have such a beautiful mom. She was so good to you. You guys were like best friends. I always wanted that. It made me happy and I felt loved just being around you two together. I felt like I was apart of the fam. Im so sorry this happened to you I wish I would have been there that day at the creek. I wish I could have done something to prevent this. I know your in a peaceful place getting the best of the best but its just a cold hard thing for me to understand :( You were the best thing that happened to my life. You were a very unique individual and I would give it all to have you back. Not only were you so beautiful but you had the best heart out of anyone I know. You were truely my best friend ever. I will never come across such an angel.... till we meet again. I hope you can remember me right now, I hope you can see me, I hope you can reminisce on all of our good times. Send me a message, something. I really need it right now. :( thx for choosing to be such a good friend to me...im lost w.out you... I cant tell you how many times I go out w friends and then on my way home im bawling because its not the same. It will never be the same. luv always like a sis. Close
