Walleye72 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Such a long battle against a horrible foe. I wish the outcome could have had a happy ending. Warm thoughts and wishes from my family to yours. Bill.
lookinforwalleye Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Wayne I am not very good at this sort of thing and it is with a heavy heart that I type this, while I never met Jen personally I felt like I got to know her very well over the last 5 years following her courageous battle and us sharing stories. I know Jen will continue to be a inspiration to the many lives she has touched, she will continue to be a inspiration to Dan and I. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this very difficult time. Gord

davew3 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 My condolences to you and Leah, Wayne. Jenn's battle was truly valiant. May she be at rest and peace in the Lord's hands. Regards
irishfield Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks everyone for the thoughts and well wishes. Been a tough few days and today we went to the funeral home to arrange for Jen's cremation. I found some peace when I learned how small this world really is, it was a fellow OFC member that picked Jen up yesterday and who is our funeral director. I thank you David for making things a little bit easier. I don't like your pricing but that's for another day! Hug your kids folks!

Though I didn't know her personally, reading the countless stories, watching her YouTube videos and hearing about her highs and lows truly makes you appreciate the person she was and how many lives she touched along her journey. In the days, weeks and years to come just remember how hard she fought and how much of an inspiration she was to so many. We are all here for you and your family. Dave
wormdunker Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 My condolences to you & your family. I know you will carry on with Jen in your heart always.
