So very sorry for the loss of sweet Jennifer! I had the honor of working with her for almost 18 years as an RT at ACH. She taught me so much in that time that I will forever be grateful for! She was such a kind, nurturing, and pure soul with an amazing humble heart! She will be greatly missed! I only wish I could have seen the smile on her face and heard her little giggle (the one when she got tickled by something) when the Good Lord said, "Well done my faithful servant! Welcome Home!"

So broken hearted from her passing. I worked with her when she first started at Childrens and would see her occasionally after we both went to other areas. Was like seeing a friend or family member you haven't seen in a while and was great to chat a moment and catch up. Could always count on her for taking care of patients and helping without complaint when needed. So great at her job and a beautiful soul. So excited to know I'll see her again in a better place. She will be missed. Prayers for her family and friends.
We must think of them as a happy day. Counting it as a blessing to have had it. Grieving not, that it could not last forever here.
