Dear Uncle Eric, Alice and Dave, Blake, Martin and Kim and Kirby and Kylee, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of Jennifer, your dear wife, mom and grandmother. I had the honor of knowing her through all these years, albeit mostly at a distance for so many years now but first as a brides maid in 1965 when I was in grade 6. Her accent and her looks were exotic too me at that time and it has had a lasting impression on me.Throughout all those years Aunt Jennifer was a joy to be around. She was always chipper,upbeat, smiling and laughing with eyes that twinkled. She is was one of the most generous and thoughtful people I know, always thinking of those small precious little gifts at Christmas, to one and all. She found lightness where ever she was.I am sorry I am not there to pay last respects to this very dear soul but my heart is sending you sincere symphathy. with Love from Morganne on Bowen Island BC.
Eric and family, We were so sorry to hear of Jennifer's passing. Our long ago connection goes back to my (Jo's)meeting Jennifer through the church and becoming friends. Later on as Jim and I built a log home, Jennifer worked with me to sand and finish the inside of our home, which took 6 months and Jim and Eric did the finishing work, putting in the cupboards and bathroom fixtures, etc. We have thought of your family many times, wondering how all of you were doing. We never personally met Martin but do remember Alice and Blake. Our sincere condolences are extended to you all. Jo Fisher, Grande Prairie, AB
