Jennifer is in the air...

It never fails that I start to miss and think of Jennifer in October! Then I remember it was in October 2007 that I last saw her alive in Little Rock, Arkansas. It seems like she becomes so real and close to me again. For just a little while those memories of our last time together come flooding back and we are together again. These are happy memories - maybe that is why I think of her more strongly this time of year than any other!

Jennifer's Birthday 2011

Happy Birthday Jennifer! I won't post how old or young you would be today, because I know you wouldn't want me to broadcast your age! I know that no matter what your age you were always young at heart.
I love how you always took time to look nice and wear perfume and jewelry to feel good. I always had fun when we were together trying on clothes, jewelry, or shopping - just being girly girls. In your honor today I am going to go do something fun with Leslie and just make it a fun day!
You taught me that one person can make a difference in the life of another person - you made that difference for me.

Love always,
Janey Jane

In Honor of Jennifer 2011

I began a drive in February to collect used clothes, toys, toiletries etc. to send to Liberia. A friend of mine is from there and the people have very little because of two civil wars and no economy. Even the capital of their country has no running water or electricity!
Our Relief Society joined in and last month I was able to to sacks and sacks of things to my friend who will send them on to hospitals and orphanages there.
I am thankful that as I was pondering and praying about what to do as a service in honor of Jennifer this year - this opportunity came about. There are so many needs around us. Sometimes it just takes asking a few questions to be able to share a little bit with others.
Just imagine, Jennifer is still an inspiration for good in the world and she will always be an inspiration to me!

I'll love you forever...

I'll love you forever - I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living - my Jennifer you'll be!

Two years ago today since Jennifer passed on. I still learn from her and call upon her for wisdom in my life. I know that she lives on and that "we" are not our bodies. We have a spirit - that is who we really are and we live on eternally. Even though she died prematurely for those she left on earth, she lived a life that was full. She will be forever in my heart.
