My name is Emily and I was lucky enough to be a part of Jennifer's tribe. Her laughter and love was so abundant that when you met her you felt like you knew her forever. I have been grateful to know and see her children grow over the past couple years and all of them have a special place in my heart. The past several years she suffered from numerous health issues that caused such extreme pain that it made it hard for her to function, but she continued on for her children and better half.

Her recent passing has left a sadness that cannot be touched. Anyone who got to know her children, partner and family were instantly brought in as family. I love her children as if they were my own, so I am starting this in hopes to help them in the coming days, weeks and months.

She had many loves in life. Her tortoises, turtles, dogs and chickens, but MOST importantly she loved her five AMAZING children with all of her heart. Her love for them was endless and with her not being physically here it leaves an emptiness that will never be replaced. Her children, Kaylee, Austin, Jayden, Dyllan, Jaxson and partner Mark now have to navigate the day-to-day now without her. Grieving that sort of loss is hard enough, so any amount donated will go to help her children with the necessities that they will need moving forward.
