My name is Jenna Dib.

On November 16th, my brother, Paul, my sister, Leslie and my Dad, Joseph, lost the heart of our family.
My Mom was in the hospital while doctor's investigated some ongoing health concerns she had been having, but we did not expect to lose her at the young age of 70.
We are shocked, saddened beyond belief and left with a hole in our family that can never be replaced. As we navigate this path of grief, we know that there are so many people who also loved Mom.
She was a school bus driver for many years.
She worked for First Student, Roxborough Bus Lines and finally at Switzer Carty Transportation.
Over the years she made friends with other drivers she met along the way and we have heard from many expressing their shock at losing one of the team. Drivers like to meet while waiting for their students to be dismissed from school in the afternoon. They would congregate on Mom’s bus and talk about whatever was on their mind that day.
Mom also became close with several families along her routes over the years. When you see the same families every day for a year or several years, you become friendly. Some of these people have been reaching out to the bus company as well asking how they can get in touch with us.
Everyone would agree with me when I say, my Mom was straight from the hip who would give you the advice you may not want, but probably needed to hear. She was funny, creative, soulful, caring and wise.
She was dedicated to her family, would do anything for us and we will miss her every day for the rest of our lives.
At some point, we would like to have a get together to celebrate my Mom. She would not want an event to focus on the sadness of her passing but rather something where her friends and family could share memories and stories of the wonderful person she was.
Given that my Mom's passing was so sudden, we were unprepared financially for her passing.
She contributed to our family in a significant way and we are left trying to fill that void while dealing with the overwhelming sadness of grieving our loss.
We thank everyone for their messages of support and want you to know how much my Mom cared for all of you.
