Our dear friend Jennifer Vezzuto lost her 4-year-long battle with cancer in the early morning of November 13. Jen was a devoted wife, a caring sister, the most selfless, caring friend, and a Bravo-loving, all-around amazing person.

Jen, above all, was the most dedicated mother to Juliana and Angelina. The girls were her whole world, and anyone that knew her knew that. She was put on this Earth to be their mother.

I’m sure we all have a story about Jen that makes us smile, laugh, or even at this point, cry. We’d like to remember Jen throwing the best birthday parties for her girls, which always included balloon arches, a strong theme, great music, and smiles all around.

If you weren’t Jen’s friend, you wanted to be, and she quickly made you feel like you were. Jen showed up. It didn’t matter if she was feeling her best or her worst, she was there. She came to dinners, block parties, house parties, or your child's birthday party. She came and she smiled through pain. She remembered every birthday, every silly holiday, and every reason you smiled. We were the lucky ones.

This donation will go toward supporting her girls’ bright future—something she was always determined for them to have. Jen wanted the girls to continue their education alongside their friends, and these funds will allow them to remain in their current school and progress to the school of their choice in the future. All contributions will be used to support their ongoing and future tuition.

Martin Vezzuto (father) is the designated beneficiary for this account and will manage the funds for his daughters’ education (Angelina, 8 years old, and Juliana, 11 years ).
