    So sorry to see Jennifer has passed. I purchased one of her paintings when my husband and I visited Hannibal. I loved it the minute I saw it. She as such a talented girl. Will treasure my painting forever! RIP beautiful girl!

    God Bless you Jennifer Jean Josephine! There are no words to describe the beauty of your soul and the bond that you had with your beautiful family. I know that your mom is rejoicing in Heaven, and God is smiling that you are safe at Home. My thoughts and prayers to Gene and family.

    Gene, Michael, Sarah and family – my deepest condolences on the death of Jennifer. She was an amazing young woman! I recall with fondness her trips to the Veterans Home with her mom to paint murals on the walls of Markword or Pat’s numerous stories of her – she was certainly proud of both Jennifer and Michael! I loved seeing J3 artwork displayed around town and loved her use of vibrant colors – so much like her personality! Heaven gained another angel for sure. May God grant you strength in the days and months ahead and may you cherish and find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of her. I can see Pat and her smiling down on you with love and adoration.

    Oh Sweet Jennifer you will be missed. It will seem strange not to see you at sporting events and on bus trips. I’m sure Mama will be waiting for you. Rest in Peace. God bless the family.
