Jennifer had a compassionate heart for others in need and spent her time helping heal the brokenness of the world. Nothing consumed and overflowed her heart with joy more that her 4 children. Her children kept her heart tethered to the world. Each of her children, possess the best qualities of their mother. She had a fiery personality that left an impression on you. Her voice and her laugh were intoxicating and could fill a room quickly. Jennifer loved to laugh at her own jokes. Jennifer loved her 3 sisters and prided herself on being the eldest.
