Dear Yvonne, I was so very happy to see you today (4/21/17) at the Y, and I hope to see you again soon. Thank you so much for directing me to the heartwarming tribute for your beautiful Jenna… a darling little girl whose big, blue eyes could light up the world. The joy on her face as she swam with Craig at the Y was always a beautiful sight to behold. Your loss is unfathomable. It takes a strong woman to be a mother, and an even stronger woman to be a grieving mother. Please know that you, Craig and Aidan are in my heart and thoughts, and I hope that your cherished memories of Jenna may help ease your heartache.

Words are not adequate to express the loss of such loveliness. I did not know Jenna, but was captivated by her young life and her family's desire to bring joy to the lives of other young children. Truly commendable endeavor.. Please take solace knowing that God!too, feels your pain as well. 1 Peter 5:7:.

Jenna's playful spirit will live on as each child climbs, slides and laughs in her playground.

Your pain is in my heart.May you find comfort in Revelation21:3,4-“and death will be no more......” .You are in my prayers.

Dear Mr. Bennett, I am deeply sorry for your loss. No one should have to deal with the loss of a loved one let alone their young child. Although I did not know Jenna it is obvious that she was an amazingly beautiful girl who is loved by many. John 5:28,29 read "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.." It's encouraging to know that God promises us a time when he will resurrect those who have been lost in death, and that the pain you feel now is only temporary. I wish you and your family the best as you continue to cope with your loss.

I never got the chance to meet Jenna, but the stories and pictures of her bring this poem to mind.... Butterfly Laughter by Katherine Mansfield In the middle of our porridge plates There was a blue butterfly painted And each morning we tried who should reach the butterfly first. Then the Grandmother said: "Do not eat the poor butterfly." That made us laugh. Always she said it and always it started us laughing. It seemed such a sweet little joke. I was certain that one fine morning The butterfly would fly out of our plates, Laughing the teeniest laugh in the world, And perch on the Grandmother's lap. Hoping your loss and pain is made bearable by the many happy memories......of Jenna's giggles, and jokes, and those amazing blue eyes! Karin Persoon

There are two memories I would like to share. The first is of our daughters, Jenna and Justine, playing princess dress up together. Hearing them talk and laugh together was delightful. They were kindred spirits in their love of all things frilly and sparkly. The second memory to share, is how I will always remember Jenna. She looked at me one day with a twinkle in her big blue eyes and a mischievous grin on her face and asked me "Barb, do you know where cows go when they're on a date?" "No, where do they go?" I replied. Her whole face lit up as she said "To the moooovies!" Then she and I both burst out laughing. I think she liked my response because she told me that joke at least 3 times that day, and her excitement and joy at the joke made me laugh every time. Her beautiful face shining with laughter is how I will remember her. Craig, Yvonne, and Aiden, we know there is nothing we can say to take your pain away. But as you grieve please know that you are not alone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Barbara, Mark and Justine

Yvonne, Craig and Aiden Fran and I were very saddened to hear of Jenna’s passing. Even though we did not know her well, we felt that Jenna was someone who really lived every day to the fullest and loved her family. While we know that words are only a small gesture of support, we wanted you all to know that Jenna’s spirit has touched many people’s lives and she will live in their memories for ever. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Fran and Ken Stewart
