Jen's Kids' Future Fund

My little bother, Pat, wrote another BEAUTIFUL message about our sis, JEN:

JEN'S BIRTHDAY, MARCH 3

This time last year, many of us were with Jen at the Grange Hall in Stanwood. Surrounded with family and friends, Jen was smiley, upbeat, and giving hugs to everyone who walked in the door. The SHS band even showed up to play a few tunes and wish her well. It was hard to imagine there might be a time without her. When we couldn't talk with her. Laugh and joke with her. Tell her about some drama, big or small, in our lives.

But five short months later, we abruptly said goodbye. Jen passed before any of us were even remotely ready to let her go. Before she got to see her kids grow up. Before she could teach Hayley how to drive, or send Ryker off to kindergarten. Those milestones, like Jen's birthday, now fall on us to get through together. To remember. To celebrate. To honor her memory and keep it alive.

Towards that end, we are incredibly grateful to the nearly 97 people who've helped us get to 93% of our goal of raising $10,000 for Jen's kids, Hayley and Ryker. Wouldn't it be a great way to mark Jen's birthday, by getting to 100% today? Help us reach our goal, by contributing here: http://www.gofundme.com/please-help-jens-kids

I'll close with something Christopher Robin once said to Winnie the Pooh:

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember: you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you.”

As many of you already know, January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Please spread the word and maybe we can help others. This meant a lot to Jen. So, let's keep her memory alive and make more people aware.

We love and miss you!

Help us make others aware!
