Looking at your photo shown here, I wish I could reach out and touch you again and hug you and listen to you. I love you so much Jennifer, I mourn for you everyday. I just want you to come back to us.....

Dearest Family of Jennifer,
I am beside myself with sadness at Jennifer's passing, and send my most heartfelt condolences for your shocking loss. I was her midwife for the birth of Emma in Austin. I loved my prenatal visits with her and her most attentive and loving Clint, and her darling William. Her labor and home birth of Emma was accomplished with determination, honesty, and beauty. For those of us attending her birth, she was our hero and shining star. She was very special to me, and I loved her.

Jen was the founder of a parenting group in Gainesville that I had joined and I'd been reading her writings for months before I actually met her. I felt like I knew her before I ever met her and knew that once we met in person, we'd be great friends. I loved her from the start and was amazed by her strength, grace, generosity, sense of humor in difficult times - and just how wise she could be in times

Jen was the founder of a parenting group in Gainesville that I had joined and I'd been reading her writings for months before I actually met her. I felt like I knew her before I ever met her and knew that once we met in person, we'd be great friends. I loved her from the start and was amazed by her strength, grace, generosity, sense of humor in difficult times - and just how wise she could be in times where the solution was not apparent. I actually met her several weeks before Clint was diagnosed with cancer so didn't have the fortune of getting to know him in good times. I was one of hundreds, if not thousands, that was inspired by their story and the way Jen fought so hard for her husband's life. Our friendship was forged during a time of great distress but that didn't mean that it wasn't full of laughter and happiness. Jen had the easiest smile of anyone I've come across - and how it lit up a room. That is what I'll miss the most - and will hold on dearly to the inspiration she provided in my life and to those around her. The last time I saw Jen was a chance encounter - I literally ran into her at the Atlanta airport...me heading back to Gainesville and she returning from Gainesville to Texas. She spotted me as I was walking through the terminal and we sat with each other for a while to catch up. It was such a delight to see her and we just couldn't believe we were sitting there in front of each other at that moment. When we departed ways - she yelled back to me that she loved me and it filled my heart with joy to have made that connection with her at that moment. I walked away thinking how special it was and now I will be forever grateful for that chance to say goodbye. She is surely going to be a guiding presence in the lives of those beautiful children which brings me great comfort. I only hope they will always know how deeply they were loved by their mother. I send my deepest condolences to Jen's family and friends. Jen's life was such a gift.

We moved to Florida from New Jersey in 2003, the same year when Clint came to UF. Occasionally, I met Clint at the campus and he was always very friendly to chat with me, so I knew he had two kids... then three... then four....and he told me Jenn was home schooling the kids, that was really amazing~~~

We moved to Florida from New Jersey in 2003, the same year when Clint came to UF. Occasionally, I met Clint at the campus and he was always very friendly to chat with me, so I knew he had two kids... then three... then four....and he told me Jenn was home schooling the kids, that was really amazing~~~

I remembered I had a toddler bed that my kids were growing out but still in very good shape, so I asked him if they need one or not, he told me that one of theirs just broke the day before! So I went to his house delivered the bed and finally met Jenn the first time~~~ she had beautiful bright smiles, energetic and friendly.

During Clint's illness, me and Jenn got more connected, reading her writing on Caring Bridge and Facebook inspired me a lot.....she is such a great writer that touched so many hearts. I went to her house several times helping around during her pregnancy, her house was still very organized, the laundry machines seemed never stopped....

One time, I brought some vegetables from my garden, she asked my help to cook and was very amazed that the kids love the fresh green vegetables, ate a lot in a short time! I was also curious how she managed to home school these kids, one thing she told me was: each kid got one more daily chore to do as they grow one more year old! One of Emma's chores was to compose the stuff, she was such a cute sweet girl, grabbing some bags of food that needed to be composed, took me over to the back yard, we shared a great moment there~

I met Jenn again on the day they move, took some pictures, thinking it would be a good memory for her and the kids in the future when looking back in the days here...now looking at these photos brings me tears....so many memories just came back ~~Jenn, your sharing posts touched my heart, inspired me a lot. It's so heartbreaking to lose you.....but I know you are in peace now with your beloved Clint... watching over the kids as they growing up, and you will live in my heart forever~~

Do not worry if suddenly the person you loved is gone. Realize that love is in and out of our lives. But true love is forever . Blessed be.

Jennifer was a friend to my daughter when they were teens, and visited in our home as such. (I was divorced and a single mom, working as an LVN at that time.) She always had a shy, sweet presence and an easy smile even then. Holly and she stayed in touch, and because of their friendship, I continued to see her for happy events, and to hear updates on Jennifer's life. Her loves, her happiness, her successes, her tragic loss

Holly and she stayed in touch, and because of their friendship, I continued to see her for happy events, and to hear updates on Jennifer's life. Her loves, her happiness, her successes, her tragic loss with Clint... Jennifer's desire to make that loss a statement of love through her writing, through her own life... She was given tremendous life challenges, and climbed each mountain courageously. May God give her children the peace of knowing that their mom is with the angels in Heaven, and that she and their dad watch over them from that spiritual plane now. Along with the many people in this life that love them also. May God Bless this family with life, love, health, and peace. Above All; God's Healing Peace and Love.

Even though it has been several years since I worked with Jennifer, she left a lasting impression on me. I remember her sparkle, quick wit and gentle grace and I especially admired her close, loving relationship with her devoted husband, Clint.
To Jennifer's family and friends, please accept my sincere sympathy on her untimely passing. I hope you find some consolation in the outpouring of sympathy, memorial entries, and offers of support.

Jennifer touched my heart so profoundly with her sweet, loving nature and her vibrant, positive spirit. I am so glad that I told her very recently that I loved her unconditionally and that nothing would ever change that. The world has lost a great light, but I believe that everyone who knew her will carry a little of that light in their hearts. The very reason that we are all mourning her loss so much is that she brought so

The very reason that we are all mourning her loss so much is that she brought so much joy to our lives. I feel so blessed to have known her, and my heart aches for all of her family members who surely feel this loss even more acutely than I do. May they know nothing but love, joy, peace, health, and contentment all the rest of their lives.
