So very sorry for your sudden loss of your wife and mother. A sudden loss to such a young woman is very hard to wrap our heads around. Only God can wipe the tears away. Rest in Him and His peace. We love you.

Wayne, kids, and all family, My heart is breaking for you all and for myself as well. Jen was full of love, energy, and a bright spot of sunshine. She loved her family so very much and you were the joy of her life. A wonderful mother and wife. I loved Jen very much and will miss her even though we didn't get to spend the time with her that we wanted.

Jennie you left us too soon
You gave life to 5 great kids and with your final gifts 5 more people will live. You would give someone the shirt off your back and ask if they needed more
Next tim when I see a ladybug on flowers I'll think of you. If zI listen quietly now I can hear more laughter from heavan. God be with you till we meet again.

My heart goes out to your family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain you're feeling must seem unbearable, please remember that you are not alone. Psalm 46:1 says " God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Pray to Him for strength. Weep to him when there are no words. Listen to what one of the poets of the Bible said at Psalm 56:8, "You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle." You see, God understands your pain and He cares for you deeply,
( 1Peter 5:7) and He will really help you get through this difficult time. (Isaiah 41:10) All the best wishes for your family.
