I just wanted to say hello. I had Jen as my drama teacher way back when I was a freshman at McClintock. I was the lucky receiver of the first Jennifer Haran Wilbur Memorial Scholarship after she passed. In case anyone still reads this guestbook, I wanted to update Jen's family that I went on to get my Bachelor's in Musical Theatre at ASU, and am now in the process of applying for my Master's in Early Childhood Education. In fact, writing my academic resume for the application (and mentioning the scholarship) is what prompted me to put Jen's name into google, just to make sure I was spelling it correctly. I found this page, and found that I was actually mentioned in the blog as the scholarship recipient. I would like to thank Jen's family and everyone who contributed to the scholarship fund. It was sincerely appreciated, and has helped me get where I am today. Thanks again.

Last week was Samhain, when people of my faith believe it's possible to send messages to those who have passed. Every year, I send one to Jen. I tell her I love her, and I miss her, and that we're all doing all right. That one friend's turned out to be a wonderful dad and another is really settling into a new life, and that people she loved are well and happy. I guess it just means a lot to me, this time of year, to let her know not to worry about the friends she left behind.

Amazingly, I didn't know anything about this (Masonic circles and how things get passed in them) until, thanks to Facebook, being able to reconnect with Abby, who relayed the story to me.

I'm deeply shocked and saddened by Jen's passing. To me, she was my first love and will always be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Abby and her parents.

There are so many things that have happened in my life since she left us...some sad, but more are funny; that I wish Jen could see. I use her as an example in so many ways.

Wow! All these years have passed, and here I am still thinking about Jen. I didn't even know her all that well, but what an impact she had on me! So as she remains in my thoughts, I have often found myself calling upon her for strength - she has always come through for me, and I hope she continues to do the same for all of you who, like me, still think about her and miss her!

It has been an excruciating year for me. I think of Jen often and think of what my brother Stan went through as we waited countless days and nights in an RV in the hospital parking lot for any news that would give clarity or peace on her condition. Stan's strength through that has given me hope as I try to cope with issues. As Abby said, sometimes pain will not go away, it is just a new part of you that must be managed. I miss you Jen.

Dear Mike, Jo, Abby and Stan,

Well here it is the first part of October, 2007. It is so hard to believe that Jen has been gone for over three years. I say a small prayer for her everyday, and for you her family. I just wanted you to know that I'm still thinking of you and I miss Jen. Thanks for all the times in Jobs Daughters. There's a certain song (can't think of the name right now) that whenever I hear it, it reminds me of a time at the car races that Jen and Abby sang all day. I lauged so hard that day and still have a very clear image of them singing it together. That must have been about 15 years ago. Your in my thoughts and prayers always.

Love,
Kim Hoke

Today marks 3 years since Jen passed away. I am not sure if anyone still has this page bookmarked on their computer, but I find myself gazing at it from time-to-time. It is good reminder to me how one person can change the world. It is also nice to remember how much Jen was loved and reading your entries moves me, even to this day. I want to thank all of you for your support of Jen's family, I know all of you gave me strength to go on when I didn't think I could.

How does one sum up a life in a few words? (or in Jen's case 57 pages and counting). I know this experience has taught me to live every moment as if it were my last and not to be afraid to try new things. Afterall, each of us is only here for a short time. This page has also taught me to live life with the constant reminder that I too may have a "Caringbridge web-page" some day. I hope when that time comes, many years from now, my family can read it and be just as proud of me as we have been of Jen.

I have attached a poem which I wrote three years ago today. I thought it to be an appropriate response for today.

"It seems to be a life-time, wiped away,
erased from the pages of the living.
But though your hands are far from our touch,
We need only close our eyes to see you smiling,
and listen through the silence to hear your laughter.
No, you are not far, you are still alive,
in the memories of all who benefited
from the short time that you walked and loved here.
And in our hearts, you will remain,
until we meet you again.

We miss you Jen."

With Love to All of You,
Stan.

Dearest family of Jen: I have been thinking of writing again ever since I read Abby's last journal entry, but I didn't know what to say. Please know that a day doesn't pass where I don't think of Jen and how much I miss her. Your family is constantly in my thoughts and I wish you peace and the best of everything this holiday season. I'm sure that I will hear Jen singing holiday songs with the angels. And to Abby: Jen was blessed with many friends, and that is because she knew what it was to be a friend. I will forever admire the person that she was. Honest, beautiful, talented, and full of life and laughter. With love, Mandy

Dear Mike, Jo, Abby and Stan,
Just the other day, I received Jo's letter about Jen's accident and passing. I knew nothing at all about any of it before I opened that envelope, and I am just devastated. I love Jen, and the whole Haran family, very much. I never had the pleasure to meet Stan, but know he is a fine man, to have won Jen's heart.

I had the distinct and wonderful honor of meeting Jen and her family in December, 1990. I was Miss International Job's Daughter at the time, and as part of my travels, I came to Arizona for an official visit. I don't know by what tremendous good fortune I wound up staying at the Haran's home, but it was one of the best highlights of a very memorable year. Jen was Miss Arizona Job's Daughter that year, a title she completely deserved and embraced, for she lived the ideals of Job's Daughters so fully.

I was struck by how close the Harans are as a family. Her wonderful dad, who is so handsome and so steady and kind; her sweet and intelligent mother, who eased me through a pre-Christmas bout of homesicknes, and her beautiful and brilliant sister, Abby, who is different than Jen, but just as wonderful in her own ways. This warm and close-knit family allowed me to help them decorate their Christmas tree that year, while we all savored candy called "clear toys" that had been sent to me by my mother, and that had caught up with me a few weeks earlier in Colorado.

Jen was vibrant, beautiful, and always smiling. As a family--for the Harans made me a part of theirs--we attended Job's Daughters events in Arizona. Jen's beautiful voice could always be heard and enjoyed, singing the songs of our Order. I was so very blessed to attend the installation in which she installed a new Honored Queen of her Bethel. Under the cape that she bestowed on the next in line, she wore a Bethel robe with a purple cord--the regalia of a choir member. As she stepped down from her leadership position, she returned to the ranks of her Bethel. I like to think that in her passing, she has returned to the ranks, where she is waiting to show the rest of us the way.

At the reception after the meeting, Jen and I hung spoons on our noses. I still have photos of that oh-so-dignified moment! I also have many photos of her with that wonderful smile lighting up her eyes and her face. I especially treasure a photo of the whole family--including me--taken at Supreme Session 1991 in Portland, Oregon.

Jen performed a monologue from "The Yellow Wall-Paper" at the talent competition that year--a shocking and deliciously scary and very talended rendering that people were talking about for days. She competed wonderfully in the Miss International Job's Daughter pageant, which I secretly hoped she would win. I'll never understand why she didn't, because she was so warm, so effervescent, so knowledgeable about our Order, and so genuine. It hardly matters now, but I really thought she deserved that title and those responsibilities. She would have been the best!

I remember singing irreverent parodies of Christmas carols with Jen and her family, "Wreck the Malls," and "The Restroom Door Said 'Gentlemen'" among them, and how much enjoyment Jen and her dad derived from singing together.

Jen was so easy to be with. She made me feel comfortable--it was as if we had known each other for years. I only wish we had. The Harans and I have sent Christmas cards ever since we met, and I kept up with the family and the news of Jen and Abby through this yearly correspondence. But I wish now that I had seen the family more often in the past 14 years. I would have enjoyed being with all of them again.

My thoughts are prayers are with and for Jen and for all of you. I am the better for having met her, and all of you, and the world is a little less bright for having lost her. I do hope we can all see one another again and please, if any or all of you plan to be in Washington, DC, let me know. We should get together.

With love,
Lonna

Dear Jo, Mike, Abby and Stan;
Please know that you were in my thoughts and prayers this past Saturday. As you know this past weekend was our Grand Session, Grand Bethel and MAJD Pageant for Job's Daughters. It was very hard not being with you.
I just wanted you to know that the MAJD Pageant was dedicated to Jennifer and her picture was placed on the stage. The evening was wonderful and we know that Jen was with us. The GGC voted to name the MAJD scholarship "The Jennifer Haran Wilbur Scholarship". This name will never change. Then at the PGG's lunch, they voted to have a brick placed at the Job's Daughters Headquarters in Jen's name. And of course she was in our thoughts and prayers at necrology.
It's such a tribute to you, as parents and to Jen as a person, that she touched so many lives. Everyime someone talks about Jen, they have a big smile on their face and are filled with happy memories.
I hope this news will let you know, how much she touched our lives.
Hugs and love,
Jan

Mostly I am at a loss for words... I knew Jen at Stephens too. We lived at Searcy Hall together and later Wood Hall. I always admired Jen's talents, especially her ability to make people laugh. Jen and I are both from Arizona so I remember cursing the Missouri humidity together upon arrival on-campus. Jen and I were orientation leaders together my sophomore year. Jen was so great - putting all of the freshman at ease and helping them to feel at home. I am so sorry... Jen will be greatly missed. With love, Bunny

I am so very sorry to hear of Jen's passing. I met Jen at Stephens college and during the year I was there we became friends. We were in several classes together. No matter how down you were you could always depend on Jen to be there with a funny story or just a willing ear to listen. Though the world has lost a unique and caring person, heaven has gained a beautiful soul.

Houston , TX USA - Tuesday, June 1, 2004 9:21 AM CDT

I just found out this morning.
I am terribly terribly sorry.

Jen was my very first friend at Stephens College - in fact, my mom and Mr. Haran were drinking buddies before we even knew each other! She was my first roomate, and someone who taught me what it means to be a true friend.

I remember throwing our books to the ground one afternoon and 'being flowers'; eating Pyramid Pizza at 2am; our Wall o' Quotes that never seemed to end; hanging a salami in the closet; forays to the wilds of Missouri to meet boys; rolling down the hill on Mizzou's campus - making ourselves sick for days.

I remember Jen's summer job working for Victoria's Secret - she made up accents for her callers! When she worked for the Box Office at Stephens she'd ask callers if they were 'students, or real people'.

I remember the way she held her head and sang into the sunlight. Especially when she wore those white cotton, long-sleeved nightgowns.

I remember her gold coin ring and that pretty marroon dress she liked to wear.

I remember when she got a headache I would rub her forehead until she fell asleep.

I remember her laugh and her ingenuity.
I remember her heart and her strength.

I remember how amazing and talented and creative and charming and COMPLETELY random she was.

I am sorry to hear about Jennifer. I was at the Masonic Lodge, Oriental 20, Tuesday May 4th when a communication was read that Jennifer had passed away. It was such a shocking surprise and saddened me greatly. I only knew Jennifer a short time, through our affiliation with Jobs Daughters. My deepest sympathies to the Haran and Wilbur families, God Bless.

I can not find words to express myself to you. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of my family and church family. Thank you for allowing me to spend time with you and sit with you during this time. You all always made me feel like family. Jennifer (Blanche!) was a joy to us in the short time we knew her. We know she is in heaven now, no doubt directing something! God Bless all of you.

Jo,Mike,Abbey and Stan, I have read through this guest book so many times in the last weeks. There are just no words to say how sorry I am about Jennifer's passing. Stan, I feel like I know you. Listening to Jo and Mike talk about you, it's easy to see why Jennifer fell in love and married you. By the way, the whole Haran family was pretty thrilled about you becoming part of the family.

When we first heard from Mike, my first reaction was that this can't be possible. Jo, my second thoughts were of those wonderful trips that you always took with the girls. You not only brought them into this world, you showed them the very best parts. That mother - daughter time you girls shared will be stored away in a very special part of your heart, among the rest of your treasured memories.

Reading through all the loving messages in this guestbook, and reading everyone's experiences with Jennifer it reminds me of a lovely young lady I met twenty years ago. Our family had just moved here from Colorado and Kathy Olney had taken me to a Welcome Wagon Luncheon. I can't even remember where the luncheon was held. I can only remember Kathy and I walking into this large room and all we could see were all these white haired ladies. We then began a search to see if there were any other ladies with our color hair. Sure enough, on the other side of the room there was one very pretty lady with black hair. We immediately headed in her direction and the rest was history. By the end of of a very lovely lunch, we all felt like old friends. However, that was just the beginning. Jo was a teacher too! That meant we had to not only apply for teaching jobs, but we had to become certified to teach in the state of Arizona. That's where Jo was at her best! I was amazed at her creativity and endless energy. She was determined to find the most efficient way we could take the classes necessary to become official Arizona Teachers. There is no doubt in my mind Jo had both of us certified in a matter of a few weeks. My favorite memory of that time was the Arizona Constitution Class she managed to find for us through Rio Salado. I believe the class started out at an old YMCA building near some railroad tracks in old Chandler. There were just a few hitches in this "escapade". I think we laughed our way through the whole thing. The class was held in a room next to the gym. The instructor was some one on the other end of the phones we both managed to find. This was all on the up and up....however, we had a slight problem! When ever we had class, there was a basketball game going on, whistles blowing and we had a bit of a problem hearing our lessons over the phone by this instructor we never did get to see. This did not slow Jo down at all. When this routine continued for a number of classes, Jo immediately called the "powers that be" and talk them into letting us take our class from our kitchen phones at home. That did the trick.....Jo of course went on to become a school psychologist and I got a first grade teaching position at our neighborhood school. Jo, I don't know if I ever thanked you for all your help which was so generously given. Thankyou! It ment the world to me. After moving and all the adjustments etc. I don't know what I would have done without you. While Jo and I were busy getting certified to teach, Mike was busy getting ready to take the Arizona Bar Exam. He did manage to pass the bar exam that year. He pasted "first" in the whole state of Arizona.

Our families have been friends through all these years. We always loved to go to the Haran's house for a party. There was always so much fun to be had. The baseball games were pretty good too. Kristi and Abbey went through school together and were great friends. Jennifer was a few years older then Gwen, but it did not take Jennifer long to take Gwen under her wing. I think Jennifer, young as she was, realized how much she and Gwen had in common (not the singing part). : ) I will never forget the kindness Jennifer showed Gwen through the years. Everyone comments on how busy Jennifer was, the whole Haran family is this way. However, busy as Jennifer was she would always find time for Gwen. She never let an opportunity pass to help Gwen if she could. In fact, when it was time for Gwen to go to college, Jennifer was sending her all kinds of information on her college.

If you will let me back up just a bit, I have to mention when Abbey, Kristi and their friends all made the great transition to "Junior High". As good parents, we all encouraged our girls to not only study hard so they could get into a decent college, but to become involved in their new school. This was all part of the experience of growing up and being well rounded. Well it is my belief, however I can only speak for my own daughter. Abbey was the only one of those girls to join anything that year. In fact, Abbey took full advantage of everything Hendrix had to offer. In the Haran tradition, Abbey continued in this manner all the way through high school, college and law school. Eventually, all the girls found their nitch and went on to leave their special mark where ever their lives took them. However, I will never forget how that little seventh grade girl led the way.

Well I best close but I just wanted to say what you all already know, how much we all loved Jennifer. You can't think of Jennifer without a smile coming to your face. When ever she walked into the room it was like the sun coming out. She had all the wonderful qualities you all mentioned so well. I just wanted to share with Jennifer's friends, that were not lucky enough to know her family, that she just followed the Haran tradition.
Love,
Bob and Martha Iversen

Hmmm, not sure where to start writing, there is so much that I want to say. I knew Jen in high school as well and like everyone else, I have only pleasant memories. I was timid musically, and Jen always gave me words of encouragement, especially when needed before a performance. By reading the other entries, it is obvious how many people were affected by Jen�s kindness delightful personality. I was blessed to have her in my life for any period of time.
My prayers are with the Wilbur and Haran families as well as her friends, co-workers and all who knew her. May you be comforted to know of all that she did in her short time here.

My deepest sympathy for the Haran and Wilbur families. I knew Jen through my sister, Amy Redin Crosby. I remember the two of them together in the junior high plays....such drama......but we all loved watching them on stage. I started attending St. Tim's with my family and to my surprise Jen was singing at the masses that we attended. I love her voice and often told Amy that I thought she sang like an angel.....well now she is singing with the angels because she is now one of them. I truely believe this. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time as I was praying for Jen as soon as I found out about the accident. May God bless you and help you through this difficult time.

Mesa, AZ - Friday, April 30, 2004 6:43 PM CDT

Jo, Mike, Abby and Stan. I have no idea where to begin. I have struggled for several weeks now trying to figure out what I wanted to write. I have numerous memories of Jennifer from our days in Job's Daughters..... Bethel meetings (Especially the days when Jennifer, Julie Rizen Misner and I were in the East... Jennifer always made the meetings special), Grace awards, car washes, Middleton's cabin, Grand Bethel, Supreme Bethel in Seattle, Pancake breakfasts, Grand Bethel campout, Firebird raceway races, etc. Jennifer would always be telling stories (half of which we never knew if they were true or not and most the time we didn't care because we just loved listening to her and watching her animated expressions) Jennifer always had the best ghost stories during campouts and sleep overs. If Jennifer was not telling a story then she would be singing a song. I have always admired her singing voice and it was an honor to be able to hear her sing "Amazing Grace" one more time.

I have also always admired Jennifer for the way she could change the mood in a room with just her smile. As everyone who knew her has written she was an incredible person with a zest for life that no one could touch.

Though all the Jobies have seemed to move on in their own directions it is wonderful to know that the bond between us is still strong. Jennifer always had a way of keeping us together and she did it once more.

I can not tell you how sorry I am for your loss and I know that the pain we are all going through does not compair to what you, her family is dealing with. If there is ANYTHING we can do for you please know we are here for you now and always will be.

I know Jennifer is up in heaven giving all the angels a run for their money. The one thing that is helping me get through this difficult time is knowing that God has a wonderful new angel, Jennifer.

Love always, Jill Greenlee

I am very, very sorry about the loss of Jen. I did not personally know her, but I am in the same Bible Study class as Melanie Lloyd, a friend of Jen's sister. We were all praying for Jen and her family.

I want to thank you for your words about God's will on April 16th. I hope you don't mind but I saved your words so I can re-read them whenever I don't understand His will. Hopefully, I will be able to answer questions about His will as well as you did when people ask me.

May God bless you and keep you.

Jo, Mike, & Abby ~ my deepest sympathy goes to each of you. While I know this is a time of deep sorrow for all of you, we also know that Jenn is now at peace and with our Lord.

I was in awe at the number of people present at Jenn's services yesterday. This shows just how much she touched so many lives during her time here on earth. The services was very lovely, and one that expressed the type of young woman Jennifer was.

There's a song that was sung at one of Bethel No. 22's Installations, and I had the Daughters perform it for the Supreme Guardian during her visit here when I was Grand Bethel Guardian. The song is "I Believe There Are Angels Among Us", and I think of this song when I think of Jenn as she had the voice of an angel. And now she is an Angel in the Heavenly Choir. I would love to be able to hear her sing it when it is my time to join her in Heaven.

Stan ~ though if seems life has dealt you a terrible blow at this time, you have shown over these past couple of months through your strength just how strong the love & committment was between you and Jennifer. And we know you'll miss her very much, my deepest condolences to you at this time.

Jennifer ~ I know you'll soon be (if not already!) the Lead Angel of the Choir and we will probably be able to hear your voice in the air from time to time. Please know that someday many, many of us will be there to join you, and we can have a REALLY big Heavenly reunion.

And last, but not least...Our Heavenly Father ~ please keep our Jennifer safe up there in the Kingdom of Angels. And don't be surprised by anything she happens to come up with...we never were here on Earth either. She is a very special angel to all of us here awaiting to join you.

God Bless & Keep All of You ~~

Dear Jo,

After seeing you at Jen's funeral, I agree, sometimes, "life sucks." Right now is one of those times and many of us feel that way, but not in any amount as you feel now. I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of Jen's life in Job's Daughters. God gave me a small part of Jen and I will always have those times. Death cannot take them from me.

When Stephanie and I went home today, she found some photos of Grand Bethel and a few of them had Jen in them where she wasn't smiling (rare) it was probably at the end of the session and you could tell she was tired.

You have every right to feel that life sucks, I can't imagine how I would feel in your shoes. I hope I never have to - I'm selfish and don't want to outlive my daughter.

Please know that I love you in my own silly way and that you, Mike, Abby & Jen have touched me in ways that I will always be grateful for.

With deep respect, love and sympathy

I met Jenn I think in 2002, at a rehearsal for the Insight Singers for the annual Insight employee rally. We were to sing the national anthem, as we had for several years before that, and I believe 2002 was the first year Jenn joined us. She and I are both sopranos and thus worked on the song together, and she really struck me as a warm and fun person immediately. In that year's rendition of the song, I hit the high note on "free" (as in, "o'er the land of the free - EE") as I always had done at Insight. (This was because the other sopranos in years past had been too shy or maybe a bit scared to take it on, and frankly I think Kaylene made me do it.) Anyway, done deal, fantastic performance by our group with lots of cudos from the audience, and I met Jenn, a great new acquaintance, in the process.

Last year, we decided to sing "God Bless America" rather than the national anthem. Again, by default, I was assigned the high note at the end of the song, and the other sopranos (including Jenn) took the lower note. However, when show time came around I had a sore throat and didn't think I could handle the high note with authority, so Jenn gamely agreed to take on this daunting and difficult task. (You see, I knew she had a good voice, but when you're singing the same thing as the person next to you it's hard to tell whose voice is whose, etc.) When Jenn hit the note for the first time in rehearsal that day, I knew she was the real deal and I had had NO business doing so the year before. What a gorgeous, strong and pure voice she had! She truly did sing like an angel. (Okay, an angel on performance enhancing supplements. Wow.) So she had the high notes locked up from then on, and I was absolutely not interested in trying for them with Jenn around to sing them so fabulously! :)

For this year's rally, I sang alto because we were short in that area, so I didn't get to spend as much time with Jenn as I had in years past. But every time I ever saw her, whether at choir practice or just somewhere around the Insight facility, her smile and personality took over. Given the small amount of time we actually spent in the same room, it says a lot about Jenn that I got such a strong read on her warmth and love of life. She was a real firecracker.

I know that my sister, Tammy Van, sent the family a letter explaining our very similar experience with our sister, Leisa, three years ago. Although our ordeal was compacted into five days, I think I have some idea of what this has been like for you all. From what I've read here and what I saw today at the service, you are an incredibly strong family and are blessed with tremendous faith. In our situation, the support of our family and friends made all the difference, so I hope these stories and the countless thoughts and prayers are in fact helping you find your way through this. Like Jenn, our sister was the kind of person who lived life fully and made friends everywhere she went, and that helped us immeasurably as well. Find comfort in the extraordinary impact Jenn made on so many people in her short time here. God bless you.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We have never met, I only heard of your loss through Diocesan e-mail. As I pray for peace in the hearts of my family, and for peace in the family I will remember your family. I want to thank you for the excerpt from "Crossings", it touched my heart. The Spirit is at work in our lives. What made me come to this site? You had a gift to share, and the Spirit knew I had a need. Thank you again.

To the family and friends of Jen,
I met Jen through my dear friend Joan as a former co-worker at Insight. Joan kept telling me, "You are going to love Jen, she is so funny and such a riot , and she too is from Ohio." I was excited to meet a fellow Buckeye. When I did meet Jen I felt as if I already knew her. Her warmth and openess and big personality made everyone in the room comfortable. She carried the party. I remember I was disappointed when she left. After that I spoke with her and crossed pathes with her a few more times. Every time it was like seeing an old friend who wanted to make me laugh and smile - just the way I needed to. As I have read through these entires I am so impressed. What a joy to so many people. I wonder if she knew how many people she has made an impact on and how much she will be terribly missed. Like many, I find myself asking "WHY?" Mr. Haran has put it in such a beautiful way, in his journal entry, that has really helped me to come to rest with this question. For Jen and for my Mother. I can't help but see the beauty in the time given to share Jen and to share her love and her life. To have a chance to hold her hand and love her a little more, a little longer. To read the endearing stories so close to your hearts, and hear the wisdom of experience and faith. My thoughts and prayers have been and will continue to come your way. May your laughter always be sweet reminders that Jen is with you.

I was deeply blessed to have been able to spend time with Jennifer in Job's Daughters. She was an inspiration to us all, both young and old. Her ritualistic work was always exemplary, she sang like an angel, being fortunate enough to compete against her once or twice in speech and debate tournaments I know how gifted she was in that area as well. Jennifer was one of the rare people who could light up a room by simply walking into it. It was impossible to keep from smiling whenever she was around. It saddens me that the world has lost such a wonderful person, but I know that one day we will all walk into the kingdom of heaven, and be greeted by Jen's smiling face.

I am so sorry to hear about Jennifer's passing.

As I have read many of the journal entries, my mind wonders back to high school marching band/flagline days with Jennifer. She was truly an inspiration, touched many, many lives, and will be missed by all.

May God comfort you in your time of need.

TO: The Haran Family and Stan:
I want to express my condolonces to all of you on the loss of Jennifer. Ever since I got my note from one of the Serra members in February I have checked the website numerous times each day, hoping and praying that Jennifer would improve. I feel like I knew her and since I didn't, I know I missed out on a lot.
From the lovely notes that have been written; and a conversation yesterday at the store with a gal that worked with Jen she also told me how lovely a person Jen was and such an asset to Insight.
Please know that my prayers are with you now and will be for a long time.
I know it is hard to understand why a lovely young person like Jen has left us but I do feel God has a plan for each one of us.
God Bless All of you.

To Jennifer's Family,
I doubt that any words that I can say will be of much comfort today. I am numb and feeling a million different currents of bittersweet raw emotion at the very same time. I miss her presence so very much. That smile. Those eyes. That musically addictive laughter we all loved so dearly. I know deep in my heart that meeting Jen and knowing her for the very brief period of time that I was blessed with was absolutely no mistake. It was Mother Nature trying to wake me up from my oblivion of the things that are important. Jen knew. This woman has left an impact upon me that will never perish...She has enriched my life. She has inspired my belief in the crazy and the wonderful....she has ignited my spark for the passion of laughter and more importantly, being able to laugh at myself. Sometimes it's easy to forget how lucky we are in our lives. Jen never forgot. She appreciated every second of life...the good, the lovely, the irritating, and the bad. She found a lesson in everything. Appreciated it all. Loved it profusely. Upon meeting Jen for the very first time at Insight in Montreal, I felt a connection to her unlike no other in my past. Her smile and her aura drew me to her in close warmth and friendship....quickly. She gave me such wonderful advice. She was so wise and real. Jennifer was emotionally addictive and nourishing to my soul. Her beauty, talent and magical heart have touched my core the way one might imagine that witnessing a miracle would. She was just that. A living miracle. I was very much looking forward to a blossoming friendship with her that would be able to withstand the test of time. We had established the beginnings of that friendship already. She brightened up all of my gray. She painted color upon the face of my drab and mundane. She was unique. Precious. Amazing. I still feel that bond with her, and I suspect I always will. My heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. A more magnificent woman than our Jen would be very difficult to find. She has always been and will always continue to be like no other. A blessing of sunshine to all that she touched.
I love you Jen. I miss you. I still feel your heart in mine. I will never forget you, Sweetheart. You will forever remain in my soul

Your friend forever,
....Shainy

I just received the news this morning (not being able to check the journal over the weekend). I regret that I have never signed this earlier, but I did regularly check in once I heard. It took a little time for the news to make it's way to New York, but Albert Bonilla and I did find out about the accident at the tail-end of March.

My mind continues to flash back to prom night. To this day, it was one of the most fun, crazy and exciting nights I had ever had. I was such a poor planner and Jen took it all in stride. I will forever remember the two of us running around the streets of Phoenix after I lost the car. And the two of us running to the restaurant before our reservations were given out - hurdling over poles and chains - me in my tux and her in her prom dress. I had the best time that night. And it was all due to her.

Jen - truly one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Funny, talented, smart, compassionate, understanding....

You have my deepest condolences and I only wish that I could be out there during this time. But my fondest memories of my days in Arizona are often accompanied with memories of Jen, and I am truly thankful that I had her in my life.

You know what they say, behind every good man is an even better woman and this was apparently the case with you and your sweetheart as I read a little about her. :o) Please know that I have had you in my prayers and will continue to do so. It's good to know you have such strong family support. I'm sure you've heard this several times, but if there is anything you need please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm a great listener and I tell a good joke every now and again. :o) Take care Stan and I look forward to fighting crime with you real soon. Mark.

To me, Jen was a teacher, a humorist, a therapist, an author, a musician, an actress, and a muse. In her spare time in Columbia, I knew her as a goddess, a warrior princess, a strange nun, and a destructive Greek wedding hostess.

Jen was also an incredible friend who challenged and inspired me to become a better person in many, many ways. She forever changed my life, as she did for many others. Jen shared her courage, inspiration, joy, and wisdom, and I am forever indebted to her.

Although I never met your wonderful wife Stan, your caring daughter Mike and Jo, or your amazing sister Abby, I feel I have gotten to know a little about what a great person she was thru the stories told on this website. I know there are no words that can ease your immense grief, but please take some solace in the following poem.

God saw she was getting tired and the cure
was not to be.
So He put his arms around her and
whispered "Come with me"
With tearful hearts you watched her
fade away.
Although you loved her dearly, you could
not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Love, Ken and Lynn Moushey

Mesa, az usa - Monday, April 26, 2004 0:01 AM CDT

I waited until now to make an entry into the guestbook because I wasn't sure which story I wanted to share. Jennifer and I have been friends for 20 years. She used to tease me that I scared her because she said my personality was the only one she had encountered that overshadowed hers. Until one day when I remember another friend telling us that we were a lot alike. She told me after that that I did not scare her anymore. :)

There are hundreds of childhood/teenage memories that I could write out, but I wouldn't know where to begin. So, I'll share two things that happened recently that will sum Jen up better than anything I can think of.

About a week before last Christmas she and I were shopping. We thought we'd be creative and go to Michael's to give "homemade" Christmas gifts. We walked up and down each aisle until we finally gave up and decided that people would probably say thank you, but end up throwing away whatever we made because we are SO not crafty. After shopping, we went over to Chili's to have lunch. It was apparently a busy day at the restaurant because they asked us if we just wanted to sit in the bar area. Which we did, we chose a booth in the corner. For any of you who have had a meal in public with Jen you know that the girl kept the wait staff on their toes. She was making our waiter (Jeff, not sure why I remember that, except for the fact that Jen told him that she was going to refer to him by his Christian name, Jeffrey) run around in circles, telling him that everything he brought was either inadequate or dirty. Of course it wasn't and Jeff(rey) played along, but it was all very entertaining.

My very favorite memory of Jennifer will be what she did for me on February 18th, 2004. That morning at about 9:00, we started instant messaging one another from our perspective workplaces (yes, we were getting paid to do it). I had been going through some tough times in my life and once again, she had been there with a shoulder or a joke as offering. We chatted for probably three hours about non-sense. We made plans with our husband's for dinner on March 9th and she suggested that she and I should do lunch and see a mindless movie on February 28th. At about 11:45 I told her that I had to leave the office to go to Phoenix for a few hours, but that I would call her from my cell phone when I got in the car. I talked to her only for 10 minutes or so, but in that time she said that she was making an appointment for us to go to a day spa and get massages on the 28th. I said that I loved her madly (which I always did) and that I'd call her the next day. I also work for the Mesa Police Department, so once I left my meeting in Phoenix a few hours later I called in to let them know that I was on my way. The supervisor that I was talking to, told me about the accident. I remember absolutely nothing of my drive to Scottsdale Memorial. The rest of that night is a blur. The next day I was at work after the accident (probably three days later), I opened up my e-mail to find one from Jennifer. All it says is "Your life is way too hectic, I worry about you girl. You and I have a spa appointment on the 28th for massages. Talk to you when you call."

For as long as I knew her, I thought that there was nobody funnier or smarter or crazier :). But really, there was nobody better.

Stan, you are one of the greatest people I've ever had a chance to spend time with. I'm proud to call you my friend too.

To the Haran Family, I don't even have to tell you how lucky you are to have Jennifer in your family. I think of you daily.

I'll miss Jennifer, but I'll think of her everytime I see that darn Xena, or go to Chili's, or shop at Michael's, or listen to Simon and Garfunkle, or eat buffalo wings and ice cream, or remind myself that I will never be tan (as she always did).

How lucky I was to call her my friend.

Jen was, without a doubt, one of the best teachers I've ever had, and I feel privledged to have been one of her students, even if it was only for a year. There was something about her that inspired you to believe in yourself, and it's because of her I'm going on to major in musical theatre next year. She was the kind of person that even spending just a few minutes with, you could tell what a passionate, caring, funny, vibrant, amazing person she was. When I heard about the accident, I couldn't believe it. How could this happen to such a wonderful, talented person? I still can't quite comprehend it. I know that Jen will be greatly missed by all McClintock students who were fortunate enough to have had her as a teacher.

I can't even begin to say how saddened I was to hear of Jennifer's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I remember Jennifer as someone with a heart as big as the sky and a sense of humor to match. I always admired her talent, her wit, her confidence and her drive. She was involved in so many different things and was generous enough to help me become part of the DHS marching band when I started high school. That organization played a huge part in my life. As a teenager, Jennifer showed me the kind of person I wanted to grow up to be. She truly was an Original and she will be missed.

Stan, Mike, Jo, and Abby,

Mike and Jo, I am not sure you remember me, but I am Dixie Altman, Lee Peek's mother. Lee and Jen dated for a couple of years while they were in college. My husband Jim and I were so happy to meet you both once while you were here in the Kansas City area back in 1997.

I do not have the words to express my sorrow on hearing about Jen. We just found out about her accident and passing yesterday, Apr. 24. I can't tell you how sad I have been since then.

Jen was a very special young woman. She was so kind and considerate. I remember one cool fall evening, after we had lost Lee's dad, I was working out in the yard and Jen drives up. She had been passing through town and just stopped in to see how I was doing on her way back to school. We went out to dinner and had a really nice visit.

I will also never forget her flighing back to Kansas City from Arizona for my marriage to Jim, a couple of years later. We spent the afternoon together and she painted my finger nails for me so they would look pretty. She did one of the readings at our wedding mass and did such a beautiful job.

As I said before, she was a special young woman and I will never forget her. I am so glad to have known her.

Jim and I plan to have several mass said for her. Please know that our hearts and prayers will be with you during this terrible hard time. God will see you through.

Sincerely,
Jim and Dixie Altman

For my training class at Insight, last Summer, Jen was our primary trainer.
She introduced us to the Insight culture and got us ready to go out on the floor.
For my classmates and myself, she helped make us what we are today at Insight.
More than half of our class is still hangin� in there...and for that I will always remember Jen�s class and teachings.
Our thoughts are prayers are for Jen and the Haran and Wilber Family.
I lost my Mother a couple of years ago, and used the attached prayer at her Mass�.

When I am gone�release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears, be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each has shown, but now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must�then let you grief be comforted by trust.
It�s only for a time that we must part�so bless the memories within your heart.
I won�t be far away, for life goes on. Though you can�t see or hear me�I�ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you�ll hear my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone�I�ll greet you with a smile, and say, �Welcome Home� !

I cannot even begin to describe how this is affecting me. These days are very difficult to maneuver through. Every second mermories of Jen flood my mind and its impossible to imagine not having one of my best friends with me anymore. It is even more devastating for me to think of what you are all going through. I think about all of you constantly and you are all very important to me as well. How could I not love something that is so much apart of what Jen is. I only hope through this I will be able to get to know you all better.

Very early on it was obvious Jen and I didn't just have a run of the mill student-teacher relationship. She started teaching at McClintock my freshman year and I was so very fortunate to discover her early on. However, even though there were those tendencies toward a friendship Jen was always professional. There was time to be a teacher and time to be friends. She taught me so much through my years with her and not just about theatre but more importantly about life. She is the reason I discovered my love for preforming and that will always be with me. As will Jen and all she taught me. How many people are able to say they had the experience of meeting someone like Jen in highschool and had them change thier lives and who they are? Not enough. I dont use the word mentor cause Jen was so much more. Mentor help people pursue their dreams. Jen helped people find their dreams. She lit up whatever fire was burning inside you, whether you knew it was there or not. And although having to go through this is one of the toughest things I will face I still realize that I am one of the luckiest people in the world for having been able to be touched by her magnificence. Through this and meeting new people who were also touched by Jen made me realize her magnitude outside my own world. How astounding. And through one of these people I met I was told "I can see Jen in you" and that is the best compliment I have ever recieved.

I cannot even begin to write stories of Jen. There are too many. Everyday with her warrants a story! I loved listening to her outrageous stories of stalkers and talk radio, traveling and the quirks of her wonderful parents, and always the best was the retelling of her outlandish dreams. One of my favorite interations came during that horrible wreck of a musical The Music Man that we were in together. She told Jasa and I that we would get to meet her parents which we were excited about. The one thing she told us was that the first thing her father would do is offer us a mint. We obviously thought this was a bit of an exaggeration but sure enough the encounter was close to "Hi, nice to meet you. Would you like a mint." We couldn't of been happier that it actually happened. I love the Harans!
During high school I organized the famous "fruit picking" party for Jen to rid her yard of the fruit that was useless to her. Of course we had an arrangement and I got a nice signature on an independant study form! That was a great memory and a great time not to mention a good deal.
The stories I have are endless. I wish I could share them all.

And to Stan, since I first met you back in the dating days, while I was at McClintock, I always liked you immensely. You are by far one of my favorite people in the world and I will always be there for anything you ever need. I definitely consider you one of my best friends and I love you very much.

Words are failing me. There just aren't words available to descibe what Jen means to me or to express any of my emotions.

I guess the one thing I must remember is that the may have cancelled Xena but theres always the DVDs!

I miss you Jen: Warrior Princess.

Dear Ones,
This poem has always given me comfort in times of sorrow and I would like to share it with you and all of Jen's friends. There are no words to express the pain we are all feeling. One thing I have learned about Jennifer is that from the time she was born to her young adult life, she was always the same. Jeniifer was and has always been just Jen, no matter where she was. How wonderful is that? Not many people can say that about themselves. She is truly God's gift to all of us.

Here's the Poem

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that flow
I am diamond glints on snow

I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift upflinging rush

I am quiet birds incircling flight
I am the soft star shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die

I love you all, God Bless you.
Love,

We the Cawley and Keating family are greatly saddened by the loss of our cousin and friend. No more fun e-mails and just keeping in touch. But we think we have come up with a solution for our sorrow. For those of us who are unable to make it to Arizona to pay our respects are planning a wake for Jen. There will be plenty of food, cigars, and drink, stories, laughter, music and tears. Maybe even some Jen finger puppets ;o). The wake will be in Orlando at the Keating house on Sunday, May 2(I think). But it's that Sunday. For all those who, would like to attend please contact smaug11@msn.com and directions will be yours for the asking. The wake is being brought to you by a couple of Jen's crazy cousins. Laura and Chris thought that this was the best way to celebrate Jen's life and Sharon thought it should be shared with all of Jen's family and friends. We are hoping that Jen would approve. Love and prayers to all.

I am so sorry to hear of Jen's passing. A few nights ago I was reading many of the other guestbook entries. When I finally stopped, I realized that reading about other people's memories of Jen really made it feel like she was still present as we had always known her. I think she probably was, just as I believe she is now. After reading the entries I wished I had known her better, but then I realized that I was blessed to have known her at all. You didn't have to know Jen long or well to realize what a special person she was. It is amazing to think of how many lives that she not only touched, but had a huge impact on. I thought of a saying I read once that goes something like this:

Some people come into our lives
and quickly go.
Others stay for a while,
leaving footprints on our hearts,
and we are never the same.

Jen left a lot of footprints that won't ever wash away. My sympathies go out to Stan, Jo, Mike, Abby and the rest of Jen's family. You all (and Jen, too, of course) have been in my prayers every day since the accident. I will continue to pray for you. God Bless!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haran and Wilbur families. Jen touched the lives of so many people in such a short time.

We know her from Dobson band and Speech and Debate and these many years later we can remember her so vividly. She approached life with such energy and always inspired those around her. I'll never forget her dressed up as a nun for Halloween blessing everyone...I know she will continue to bless her family and friends as only Jen can.

It is with a heavy heart that I sign this guest book; Greg (Buffy) after a lot of searching trying to track me down, contacted me via e-mail yesterday evening and informed me of this situation. I got that e-mail on my way to an appearance at 7:30 this morning.
All day today I have been on edge. To Stan, Mike and Jo and Abby, and the rest of the Wilbur and Haran families my heart goes out to you at this time. My prayers are with you and my thoughts are of you. God bless and keep you all close.
My Mother and the rest of the Altman family (Jim Jenny and Andrea) in Kansas City all who had met Jen (She was in my Mom and Jim�s wedding) also send their thoughts and prayers.
I will not be able to make it down this week, however I hope to see you in June.

With love-

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh,
to love, to work or play.
Tasks undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If parting has left a void, then fill it
with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now, He set me free.

This day has been filled with memories of Jen. I met her Jan 27th, 2003, when she was my trainer at Insight. The moment she walked up to the front of the class, her joy of life touched my heart. Every day, she talked with love about Stan, her parents and sister. And, every single noon hour, Jen spent time surfing the web looking for the perfect Valentine's Day present for Stan. She'd ask us what she thought of the choices, talk about the cruise they were planning, and tell us how Stan would take her to dinner at The Melting Pot whenever he wanted to show her how much he loved her (and would say she really didn't think he liked the restaurant much, and that made it even more loving). Jen took me under her wing, gave me a strong foundation, and told me success was my only option.

Jen made us laugh (sometimes until we cried), taught us how to succeed, gave us life skills (even though we were all adults who probably thought we'd had life figured out for years), and truly cared about each and every one of us. Each night, I'd go home from class and tell my husband, John, my Jen stories. By the time he started at Insight, he felt as if she was a friend that he already knew.

I believe that Jen was an angel here on earth...an Angel that God loaned to each of us for far too short of time. Jen, we love you and you will be missed so very much!

May peace come to Jen's husband, parents, sister, friends, and all who loved her.

I am sorry to hear about Jen's passing. I am sure it was a great comfort to her that you were all present.

I just wanted to say thank you for letting me care for Jennifer while she was in the hospice unit. I considered it a great honor. You all have such a wonderful family and support system. Just be there for each other.

There was a request made to share things about Jen here so that her family can have them. I kept hoping she would recover as I am sure we all did, so that I could see her again in person. My deepest sympathies to her husband and her family who have lost so much.
I met Jen during my first semester working at Stephen's College in Columbia. It would have been about halfway through her senior year there. She was my favorite student of that year and really of several years that followed. She was a true joy to work with, extremely funny and very professional. It was supprising to find her at Brian Kaller and Eva Muelhause's wedding! (at my house!) I was so pleased to see her again and I had hoped to renew our acquaintence. Maybe next time 'round Jen!

Blessings,

Words cannot express our sorrow for your family and Jennifer's husband. We so loved her voice in Jubilee 2000 at Our Lady of the Snow and knowledge of the theatre. A small story you may not know. As we were frantically setting up the set and lighting (a tough job at Our Lady of the Snow) Jennifer was out there dragging lines and telling us about her love and history in the theatre. She touched us then and will be an inspiration of strength forever.

My heart and sympathy go out to Stan, Mike, Jo, Abby and the rest of the family. As I drove to work this morning and shared with another close girlfriend Jen's passing, she reminded me of something that gave me a bit of peace. She said that for every new soul born, an old one must pass to be a guardian angel to him/her. It eases my mind to know that Jen can be my new baby's guardian angel as we prepare for her coming in the next few weeks. I love you , Jen and will miss you greatly!

I pray that the Lord gives you anything and everything you need to make it through the coming days.

To Jen�s family: Your strength and compassion have been an inspiration. I wish all of you peace in the days to come. Jen was amazing beyond compare, and I hope that reading these messages will bring you comfort. I know that while we are crying on earth, she is spreading her laughter and goodness in Heaven. Jen has brought joy and love to so many people, she will never really be gone. �Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched.� And Jen has touched so many people that she will live forever in our hearts and minds.
Jen, I will miss you so much. Thank you for everything that you have brought to my life. I still have that list we made, and I promise to get those hot rollers soon. I love you.

Dear Stan, The Haran Family and The Wilbur Family

I don't need to tell any of you that Jennifer was a ray of inspiration, energy and humor. She was by far one of the best character actresses, I've ever had the pleasure of seeing on stage and working with. I'm extremely sorry and saddened for your loss as well as the loss of charisma that she brought to so many people as displayed here in this guestbook.

Stan, thank you for keeping me informed on Jennifer's condition during these past several weeks. I was honored to know Jennifer, and to be considered a friend of hers as well as yours. Your courage and stamina through this situation is a testament to your passion and undying love to her. Please know that if at anytime you require or need anything of myself or the entire theatre community, you simply need to call and ask.

Jennifer - You are going to be missed and yet remembered as a legend! I love ya!

With all my thoughts and prayers - Love Jeremie McCubbin

I can not even imagine the grief you all must feel right now...While we were not close friends, I have always held a place for both Jen and Abby in my heart, and remembered them often throughout the years. Mike and Jo- as a mother I am grieving for you. The depth of love you feel for a child can not be equaled and neither can the heartache you feel right now. Please know that I am praying for you. Stan- I don't know you, but since Jen married you you must be something beyond special. Please know that we are praying for you too...My husband Jason says that he sends up a special prayer for you, as a husband. And Abby- it's been too long since I have seen you, and a little distance and a few kids shouldn't keep that from happennig...I think this has really made me realize how much old frienships, close or not, should not be let go of. I know how close you were to Jen and I am crying for you now...Please know that we love you and are praying for you all...

Dear Jo, Mike, Abby, and Stan,
As I've read the journal entries during the past few weeks I've wished that I had know Jennifer. I only met her briefly once, in Jo's office at the school where we work.
Just this morning I read again a familiar quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. It seems to speak of the wonderful daughter, sister and wife of whom you were lucky to share your lives.
Here's the quote - "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Jennifer seemed a wonderful person who most certainly succeeded in life. I am thinking of you all today as you grieve her passing.
Love, Linda

Jo, Mike, Abby & Stan ~ I was deeply saddened to learn of the heartbreaking news this morning & my deepest condolences are with each of you. This has been a very difficult past couple of months for you. Even though she will be sorely missed, Jen is at peace now with the Lord.

I am glad that I was able to come and visit with Jen & each of you a while last evening. Jen has had a very special place in my heart for many, many years...has have the rest of the Haran family. She was my Miss Arizona Job's Daughter for most of my year as AZ's Grand Guardian, and I was very proud of what she brought to the position.

Jen ~ sweetie, you are rest now and God has you in His arms.

There are no words to express this great loss in your life and what you have have been going through these last couple of months with Jen. I saw my mother grieve when my brother died and can only relate to that. Just know that I admire you for your courage and openness with this intimate time in your life. I can see what a beautiful, talented and loved daughter Jen is and know you will have MANY treasured moments to cherish always. God Bless all of you and may you feel the power of His love and of those people supporting you. With Deepest Sympathy, and may you find peace and love in your lives always.

I was in DHS marching band with Jennifer 1988-1991. Though I didn't know Jen much beyond band, she left an indelible impression on me that remains to this day. She had spunk, creativity, courage and talent beyond words. I always admired her for her ability to entertain everyone around her with such little effort; she reminded me a lot of my father. I remember when Dad passed away in 1995, I was so touched by all the kind words, and fond memories shared by people I never knew, nor knew that HE knew. Jennifer seems to have had that same impact on people, even those who knew her but for a few brief moments. That is a legacy! Mr. and Mrs. Haran, you are to be honored and admired for bringing such a treasure to this world! My sincerest condolences are with you, your family and Stan during this time of loss. You are all in my daily prayers.

She will forever have a very special place in our hearts!

She's now at peace, and I know that God will watch over you and surround you with love, calm, warmth and light! ...

May God be with you and continue to give you strength!

I am so sorry to hear of today's news. I guess we all knew this day would come, but that doesn't seem to make it any easier. I take comfort in knowing that Jen is in a much better place now and is at peace. I pray the Lord give all of you strength in dealing with her loss. May God bless all of you and carry you through this.

I found the following Legend and it ment a lot to me especially when I look to the stars.

Perhaps they are
not the stars
but rather
openings
in
Heaven
where the love of
our lost ones
pours through and
shines down upon us
to let us
know
they are happy.

We share in your loss and send our love to all of you.

Dear Haran & Wilbur families,
Sharing tears with my daughter this morning as she told me of Jennifer's passing and the tears I shed as I write this message are only outward expressions of the sadness in my heart at your loss. It was one of our rewards in this life to have met and known Jennifer and been able to remember the times shared with her and her family. My memories of Jennifer are that she was always a good example of what we all wanted our daughters to be. She was an amazing, talented young "lady" who was a friend to everyone she met. She was always respectful and able to bring out the best in any situation. I won't even suggest that I have any idea what you have gone through these past months, but I do know that Jennifer brought together the many people in her life through these pages and that she touched more lives than we will ever know. We are all better for having known her and for having her share just a little bit of herself in our lives.
My prayers are with you as you prepare to celebrate Jen's life, knowing that she is with our Lord and bringing joy in Heaven.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Our heartfelt prayers have been with you since day 1. I am deeply saddened by the worlds loss today. Jen was the Christian I could only strive to be. Just reading the entries from the guestbook are a testimony to her life. The Heavenly Father provided us with an Angel in Jen and I am so sorry that it was time for her to go home. The Angels are welcoming their new sister in the Heavenly chorus today. May she forever sing His praises!

JO, ABBY, MIKE AND STAN,
Sorry to here about Jennifer, I prayed for her everyday, and I know she will be deeply missed.I will always cherish her and the memories of crowning her as Honored Queen of bethel #13. My time in Job's Duaghters would not have been the same without her on the line with me ( we got in a little bit of touble when we were guide and marshal because we would talk in the back she would always say something to make me laugh.)I will always remember her positive outlook and her always smiling face. SHE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED. Just remember she will be up singing and watch over you with all the rest of the angels. She truly is an angel in my eyes.

I had the honor of meeting Jen only once. She was my Installing chaplain when I was installed as Honored Queen of Bethel 13. I had never met her before. She was the last person to arrive. When she came rushing in the door, I knew it was her. She had a great smile and was full of life and energy. "I'm so sorry I'm late!" she said. I wasn't upset at all. There was something about her that told me she was going to be great, and she was.
I have heard so many stories about her life and the wonderful person she was, I wished that I could have spent more time with her. However, I am blessed to know that I got to meet her that one time, and have such a charismatic person in my life for that short while. My prayers are with you.

I've tried for several days to add an entry, but by the time I finish reading the wonderful stories and memories of Jennifer I'm too emotional to come up with the words. I will always remember Jennifer as a Beautiful, and extremely talented lady, full of life and a delight to be around.
Of the many memories I have of Jennifer one that stands out is when we attended Supreme Session for Job's Daughters, she and Abby had just finished competing and they agreed to preform their song for those of us sitting in the hotel lobby just waiting around. The Song was "Anything you can do, I can do Better." When they were finished, not only did the group from Arizona applaud, but every guest and hotel employee within earshot joined in. She is a remarkable person and she will truely be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Haran and Wilbur Families through these trying times.

Jen ~ my thoughts & prayers remain with you as you slumber in peace while you wait to join Our Father with the host of Heavenly Angels. With your beautiful voice, you have shared a piece of Heaven with all of us while you've been here on Earth. Heaven's gain will definitely be our loss. You will be missed by all, but mostly by your family. You are truly a loved & admired young woman.

You served as my Miss Arizona Job's Daughter while I was the Grand Guardian of Arizona, and I remember dearly the wonderful job you did in the Miss International Job's Daughter Pageant. All of Arizona was (and still is) VERY, VERY proud to call you their own!

Jo, Mike, Abby & Stan ~ my prayers continue to be with you during the long wait.

Jen, I only met you briefly - but you were instantly a friend I cherished. Thanks for enduring my clumsy feet... I'll always remember you laughing WITH me (yeah right). I'd really looked forward to seeing you again, soon. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels robbed - but that's a rather shallow description of my feeling.

Your tragedy is FAR too familiar to me. It is painful to hear descriptions of a woman I love in such untimely pain; to know I've been there myself, yet in time I walked away to raise a son and to continue my own pursuits and callings. I remember learning to walk. I remember learning to understand a smile. And though that was the most difficult time of my life, I cry when I think you may not have that chance.

I miss you, Jen. And it is with both empathy and sympathy - by the purest definitions of those words - that I wish you peace, comfort, and the blessings only love can give you.

You are obviously loved, by your friends, your family, your peers, and the spirit that guides each of us in this world. We love the memory of you, we love the spirit you have shared with us, and we will love you forever and when we meet again.

You still owe me a hug. And I'm gonna hold you to that.

Mike, Jo, Abby and Stan,

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and Jen. We pray that the Most Blessed Mother and our Lord and Savior watch over all of you and comfort you. We pray for Jen in her journey to our loving Savior who awaits her with outstretched arms.

As I read through the many journal entries of memories of Jen, I recall our family holidays together. Jen's gifts were evident from the moment our families came together that Sunday in November 1989 when we met for dinner and attended St. Tim's Teen Mass together.

Jen was blessed with many wonderful gifts and she shared them with everyone she encountered.

Jen's passion for sharing her love, her gifts and her joy in doing so made her a force to be reconned with. That passion for life touched many lives. This is her gift to all of us, to live life fully and joyfully touching those lives around us she has with joy and laughter and a loving heart. I hope all will treasure that gift when they remember Jen.

The joys of life in this world will soon transcend to the joys of Heaven for Jen. We can only imagine the joys her presence will bring to Heaven. Her voice will be among the choir of angels and her sense of humor will bring joy to the Heavens.

I take comfort in Jen watching over all of us until we meet again.

God bless and keep you,
Cheryl

I have been numb for much of the time since I heard of Jennifer's tragic accident. Time slows down, my heart and mind get heavy, and I space out, remembering all kinds of things about Jen. I imagine myself watching over Jen in the hospital, praying for her recovery. I am heartened that so many are doing that in person.
I don't think I can remember ever being with Jen when she didn't have a smile on her face. And what a radiant smile, straight from her heart and authentic goodness. She lifted the mood in any room, and made any and all welcome and comfortable. I keep remembering things I did with Jen, and with Kim, her second sister (they were the closest of friends growing up and beyond).
Jen worked for Kim's parents for a while. They sold a product that improved the performance of Harley Davidsons. Jen would field the phone, getting all these calls from bikers, who seemed to immediately forget what they were calling for, and started chatting up Jen. She would laugh, play along for a while, and repeat most of the biker's conversation so we could hear it. It was a hoot, the room cracking up with constant giggles. That happened a lot - there must have been something about Jen's voice that made the caller's heart race and his mind scramble. Jen would probably have looked good as a motorbike chick. I remember driving from Prescott to Flagstaff, through a beautiful landscape with a river running to the right of us. We couldn't find any good music on the radio, so Jen started singing, encouraging us to all join in. She did that a lot, impromptu sing-alongs. They were a riot. I played miniature golf with Jen, raced with her in go-carts (I think I came last), played pool with her, and sat around many a table at a restaurant or bar enjoying her company. A good time was assured being in her company. One Christmas we spent hours playing a new game she had been given - Bop It. She was an expert already, but also a very patient teacher. I got a little better playing the game, but more just had a wonderful time relaxing with friends and laughing a heck of a lot. What could be better? It was hard not to be very relaxed around Jennifer.
Jen was the beautiful Maiden of Honor at my wedding to Kim, and the beautiful, radiant bride at her own wedding to Stan. Kim and I truly enjoyed the days we spent in Mesa at the time of Jen's marriage. It's always a great thrill to see a friend so happy, especially when you sense how genuinely true that is. I made some joke at the rehearsal dinner that cracked up my end of the table, which was unusual for me. I can remember Jen doubled up laughing (there may have been rice shooting out of her mouth) - sorry, I don't recall the joke.
I know how closely linked Jen and Kim's hearts were and still are, and I myself feel my own heart ripped to shreds. I pray for her, and for all those much closer to Jen than I am. You are being so strong, and I can only imagine with trepidation the pain of the last weeks.
Jen is one of the best-hearted people I have ever known. I've been looking for a poem that expresses some of the essences of Jennifer, and expresses my feelings right now. I haven't found one yet. But today I realized that I may not be able to find an appropriate poem, because how can you sum up all the many qualities of Jen in just one poem, let alone the sound of so many hearts aching and breaking right now? And I then realized one more thing - Jennifer is the poem. There's no need to find one. I think of Jennifer, and know the poetry she embodies, and gives to the wider world. What a gift she's given to us all.
I did find some words that express some of what I feel. They are the words of Henri Nouwen. "You have to trust that every friendship has no end, that a communion of saints exists among all those, living and dead, who have truly loved God and one another. You know from experience how real this is. Those you have loved deeply and who have died live on in you, not just as memories but as real presences."
Live on Jennifer, in all of us, you gave us so many blessings and so so much joy and love. I love you, and am glad of the gift of knowing you. God watch over you in your continuing journey.

Dear Jen's family;

I never personally met Jennifer; her company provided support to my company and for the first year or so we talked or emailed each other daily. Somehow, she always made me feel that whatever I was saying, whatever I was going through, was the most important thing going on in her life at the time. We had much in common, I am retired military, and just finished 9 years on a Narcotic Task Force. It seemed like every thing about me, had a common thread with Jen. I know she worshiped you Mike, was so very proud of you, of your service, and who you had become after retiring. I know that Stan was the light of her life, she was so very very proud to be the wife of a cop. When I read the reply from Mike about her accident, I cried. How someone I had never met, could have such an impact on me is a testimoney to her depth of character. As all these pages reflect, she touched so many many souls, in so many many ways. If the Lord should call her to heaven, it will be such a better place for it.
For every valley we go through, we rise up at some point to the hilltop, wiser and stronger, and hopefully able to help others through their trip through the valley. I too have lost a daughter in my life time, and while I wish in no way to imply that I feel the grief you feel, I know that she and you are in God's hands. From my time in the valley I have learned that many folks continue to ask why? Why did this have to happen to my daughter, why did this have to happen to my wife, why did this have to happen to me? There are things that happen to each of us, for which God is the only One with the answer to why. Do not let your quest for the answer to why, destroy your faith, or cause you to retreat from those that are still here to love you or need to be loved by you. If the time comes for Jen to join our Lord, it is because he has taken such pleasure in her company, and try to celebrate her life, as you knew her, rather than about her departure. We shall all meet her again at the feet of our Father.
My family and I pray for Jennifer and for her entire family, including those that felt like I did, that simply knowing her, made us a part of her family.

I learned of Jennifer's accident and condition from my wife. I am away from home at the moment but I carry with me fond memories. One of those memories is of Jennifer right after I got home from basic training and AIT for the Army. My wife, then girlfriend, Lisa and I were at a Jobie function (installation I think) and saw Jen. She asked me how I was doing and how life was treating me. I said all was fine except for the drill sgt's trying to do me in. She patted me on my back and said "Well everyone needs a hobby." She has always had a quick comeback and a wonderful sense of humor. I truly enjoyed those Jobie functions because Jen would be there to make everyone smile and laugh. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you in this difficult time.

Jen-
Although, I only did two shows with you, I feel blessed that I could share the stage with you. You always had the ability to brighten up a room and I will miss your beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. During The Music Man, I always looked forward to our Pick-A-Little Numbers because I was able to be "nosy" with you. I will never forget all the wonderful conservations we had on stage. You always treated me with the upmost respect and that meant more than words can describe. You really cared about everyone around you and made each person you talked to feel special. You are such an incredible, amazing, beautiful person who will be forever missed. I just hope that one day I can become half the woman that you are and there is no doubt in my mind that you will be making every person in heaven laugh and smile. Thank you for coming into my life, you impacted it in an incredible way!

Dear Harans and Wilburs,

It has been a year and seven days since we waited at Hospice for my dad to finish his time on this earth. So hard, yet as I watched other families around us as they dealt with their loved ones passing, I wondered, "when will it be our turn?" The time came and there was quiet and calm. Our Pastor was there to help us just as your Priest has and will help you. We have survived a year without my wonderful, grumpy, funny old dad who lives on in my heart. Please hold each other and pray with Jen that if God must take her from you, you know that she will not be forgotten.

Now for one of my favorite memories of Jennifer and Abby. After a Jobie meeting many of us would go to Village Inn and have a late dinner. It was at one of these memorable dinners where I was introduced to the famous spoon hanging trick. Here is miss prim and proper Jennifer hanging a Village Inn spoon on her nose, followed by Abby and if memory serves my right, I think Jo even hung her spoon from her nose! I never did acquire the wonderful trick, maybe my nose is way tooooo long, not sure. But I sure do get a smile when I think of all the patrons at VI that night watching girls hanging spoons on their noses.

All my love to you and I am holding you in my prayers.

I knew Jen from Dobson High School. She is one of those people you always have fond memories of. Though, we've haven't stayed in touch much since high school, thinking back about her always brings a smile to my face. I have seen her a few times since then at a few parties. She has always been such a dynamic person. I know she has touched so many lives.

Reading the latest news brings great sadness to my heart. It is always unfortunate that sometimes it takes a tragic event such as this to remind you how special someone is in this world. Jen has brought so much joy to so many people. We all need to be very thankful of having such a wonderful person in our lives. Even if it is for a brief time.

I do believe in miracles. If it is time for Jen to join the Lord, I will accept that, but until it happens, I pray that she will remain with us and continue to bring all of us joy and happiness.

To Jen's family: My thoughts and prayers are with you every day. I can only imagine the burden you are under. I pray the Lord give you renewed strength each and every day. I will keep praying for that one miracle we're all hoping for.

God Bless!

Chandler, AZ - Monday, April 19, 2004 11:54 PM CDT

My tale of times with Jen began at a bachelorette party many years ago when she helped to sneak me into a 21+ Male Revue and I wasn't yet legal! I reunited several years later with Jen at one of Paulina's Pampered Chef parties...it took Jen about 3.5 seconds to remember how we had met! Over the time since reconnecting, Jen gradually became a more and more significant influence in my life. From our book club to the many events hosted by the Gliders, from shopping for candles to watching endless episodes of Sex and the City, from outstanding lunches to elaborate birthday rendezvous, Jen is always the energy I need and desire, the intellect that stimulates and enrages, the humor that is funny now�and for some�ten minutes later!

Jen is by far the most �Phenomenal Woman� I know. My generous mom once shared this poem with me, saying that I am �her� phenomenal woman. I read the poem and thought that I could only hope to one day become the woman Maya Angelou describes. However, I can say with confidence that Jen is that phenomenal, ageless, powerful, fabulous, soulful, brave, and, simply said, incredible woman that Maya illustrates:

�Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I�m not cute or built to suit a fashion model�s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I�m telling lies.
I say,
It�s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I�m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That�s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It�s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I�m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That�s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can�t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can�t see.
I say,
It�s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I�m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That�s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head�s not bowed.
I don�t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It�s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
�Cause I�m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That�s me.�

Phenomenal Jen�s presence in any room is like a burst of sun peeking through clouds after days of rain. She piques your curiosity, lets you drink in her warmth, and inspires you to liven with her boundless energy. A truly alive and phenomenal woman, Jen�s footprints in our lives are so impeccable�it�s no wonder we are struggling so much with the possibilities and probabilities, the choices and reactions to, the consequences and rewards that are a result of one small moment in time. Regardless, Jen�s face, smile, laughter, wit, joy, and life in its purest forms are forever written in my past, present, and future.

Viktor Frankl wrote that ��the transitoriness of our existence in no way makes it meaningless.� He further theorized that the meaning in one�s life is always changing, and can be found in three ways: �(1) by creating work or doing a deed, (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone, (3) by the attitude taken toward unavoidable suffering�. With this in mind, I have concluded that, first; Jen�s life is FULL of boundless meaning. Second, all of our lives have meaning that at some point is derived from our relationships with Jen. Third, Jen�s terrible accident has presented many faces of �unavoidable suffering�, toward which we create meaning with our attitudes. By creating documents to share with Jo, by engaging in the active process of cataloguing and distributing kindness, and by committing to an attitude that is positive and grateful for the times our life is touched by Jen, we are all creating meaning for ourselves; and Jen�s meaning (for this particular moment in time) is actively working its way through us.

�Nothing can be undone, and nothing can be done away with. I should say having been is the surest kind of being.�

Thank you, Jen, for all you have done, do, and will do to enrich my life and the lives of all with whom you are acquainted and love. We are blessed to know you.

I was just informed of Jennifer's tragic accident and wanted to let you know Jamie, JJ, Jodi and I will keep your entire family in our thoughts and prayers. This is a very difficult time for you all and I appreciate your updates. God Bless you all in the days ahead.

I know Jen through Insight. As a fellow trainer I had the opportunity to work with her on various projects and just loved her immediately. Her laugh is contagious and I don't think I ever spoke with her without smiling. She has a wonderful way of making you feel good no matter what you're talking about. I always love when she says, "you're so pretty" it just really lightens any mood :) I am so missing our conversations over the phone and over messenger.....she has such a wonderful childlike quality about her while still being able to be an intelligent woman. We have had some great discussions about really intellectual topics (like the DaVinci Code and other books we've read) as well as wonderfully light subjects like Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings! Jen is such an amazing person.

Jen, you are in my prayers daily! To her family, God's will isn't always easy to understand and we still don't know what His will is yet, but He will give you the strength you need no matter what. God's love surround you and give you peace. Love, hugs and prayers!

I know Jen through work. I only knew her for a short time, but there were several times when we chatted in the lunch room while she filled out grade rosters for me. Jen and I hit it off immediately. She has such a warm, open and friendly personality. She invited me over to a party at her house when she had only known me for about 5 minutes. If that is not friendly, than I don't know what is. I love Jen's energy and enthusiasm for life. Whenever I think of Jen, I always think of that song from REM, "Shiny Happy People". It describes her to a T in my book.

My heart just aches inside that this has happened to Jen. I was reading some of the words that people wrote and I read something I think her dad wrote about the nature of things and how bad things just sometimes happen to good people. What he wrote really touched me. I am so glad he has found that peace and does not blame God. I feel in my heart that he is exactly right. We don't always know why things happen, and it is hard to understand why. This is where our faith comes in and these types of situations are when our faith is tested and tried.

My prayers are with Jen and all her family. May you all find peace and allow God to heal you. If Jen does not make it in this life but moves onto the next - I know in my heart we will all be with her again someday.

My life is richer for having met Jen. She is truly a wonderful person.

Dear Jen,

It took me forever to be able to start calling you by your first name. I met you first as my student teacher in my sophomore year drama class at Dobson High School. Although you had the full respect from the students that we would grant to any other teacher, you were more like the cool, hip older sister we all wanted. You teased us with your sassy wit, entertained us with your Xena warrior princess yell, and taught us all to appreciate life's ironic sense of humor.

After leaving us all at Dobson to take on your teaching position at McClintock, and later at your other various jobs (including being the coolest Blockbuster employee to ever live!) I would still periodically see you in various theatrical performances around the valley, and would delight in hearing your phenominal voice at mass on Sundays at St. Timms

Later, I had the joy of working with you in show. That was incredible for me. I called all of my friends from high school "Im in a play with Ms. Haran!" Even though by then you were already married. I remember you telling me about your husband and the way your whole face lit up. You were always full of light and joy, but it came out even brighter when talking about him.

You made being a part of the Joey and Maria's cast an even bigger thrill than it already was. You had been my teacher, but now you were my cast-mate, friend and "sister in law."

I moved to Los Angeles shortly after our first run of the show at Fort McDowell and remained very out of the loop on everyone until recently, when I moved back to Arizona and rejoined the Joey and Maria's family. It was at a rehearsal that I found out about your accident. I was in disbelief. I've visited your site several times a week since then, but have not posted a message until now. I've prayed for you to come out of your coma, but it now seems as though God needs you more in heaven then here on Earth.

I want to send a message of sympathy to all of your family. I can not imagine what you are all going through right now. Please try to remember that our faith teaches us that death is not an ending. Jen has such an amazing energy, and she will transcend the pain and go on to live in God's embrace. Until then I will be praying for a miracle.

Thank you for everything you have taught me about theater, spirituallity, humor, and life, Jen... I will always remember you.

I personally do not know you Jennifer, but from my son, Ryan Sands, I know you have been a wonderful person and given much to people around you. These kind of responses by your friends and family tell the whole story about you.

You leave behind a legacy and example for all of us to try and live by,which I'm sure we all feel we won't even come close to accomplishng.

I pray you find peace and love in the arms of our Lord, you certainly deserve it!

"I'm a 10.5 on the Richter scale of love, baby!" - Jen, upon learning that each number on the Richter scale represents an increase by a factor of 10.

Last summer, Jen and Stan came to visit us in Kansas City, Mo. Jen bounced our 3-month son on her knee until he puked ("Bouncey bouncey bouncey bouncey bouncey bounce!"). He kept laughing, though.

When I was going through some of the tougher times over the last 13 years, Jen has provided some keen insight into my situations. She helped point out all the potential ramifications of my decisions. Having someone that perceptive and that straightforward can be invaluable during those times.

Maybe it's time to get around to doing that coffeetable book of photographs that she's been urging me to do for the longest time.

Dear Jennifer
Thank you for the many lessons you've taught not only to the countless students you touched, but to myself and the entire theatre community. I don't think I'll ever forget my final lesson from Jenn. A few nights prior to her accident we had dinner together at PF Changs, and when dinner was done, we both excused ourselves to the restrooms, when Jennifer came out of the restroom, she reached into her purse and removed a bottle of hand sanitizer, and she said "I don't trust public bathrooms". Well Jenn, neither do I. I will miss you. So by your example, I will live every moment to its fullest, accept what I can not control, and cherish all that is beautiful and grand in this world. It was my distinct honor to be onstage with you, and most recently as your husband. So Eulalie Shinn - "tend to your dance!" - The Music Man-2003

"Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else."
To my extended family. I am saddened by the tragic event that has brought us all to this stage and yet I am touched by the dedication and prevailing love of this family and all the friends around the country. Jen obviously touched many people along her journey with us through life. Just read the journal and her enthusiasm and zest for life and her interest in others comes shining through. I remember the first time our daughter Hanna, then five, met Jen at the cabin in Prescott. Hanna, so quiet and shy when meeting someone new for the first time, was soon seen getting a piggyback ride from Jen outside. They were laughing as they circled the cabin again and again. After Jen left that afternoon Hanna stated, "she's my favorite cousin." Jen has given us all wonderful memories and momemts and these we hold so fondly in our hearts and minds forever. Jen will always be with us and for that we are so thankful. Her beautiful voice, sense of humor and enthusiasm for life will always remain.

To laugh often and much,
To win the respect of others
and earn the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived-
This is to have succeeded
in life's journey.

(excerpt from a poem by Bessie Anderson)

All our love, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Tim, Matt, Hanna and Michael Haran

Jen was the living version of carpe diem. My life is richer having known her, and impacted me in more ways I didn't realize until now. Having her in my life during the awkward yet adventurous junior high days made all the difference. Slumber parties with large vats of nacho cheese, brevits and ouja boards are the things memories are made of. She is an inspiration and a light. I have the honor of carrying a little bit of her joy in my heart forever for having been her friend. The angels are getting a real keeper! All my love and prayers to your family Jen. Blessed be.

Hi, Jen- It's me again. I dreamt of you on Thursday night, and I feel like I need to share it with you. In my dream, we were at a social function of some sort in a huge room decorated all in white. There were friends there from jr. high and high school. You and I sat together at a table, and you were crying. I was rubbing your back and crying with you. You kept saying, "I learned it only takes a second to lose your family. It only takes a second to lose it all." We cried together and shared some memories. It was odd because we talked about you being in a coma and in the hospital, and we knew you were still there. I woke up at about 3:30 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. I jumped on my computer as soon as I got to work, fearing that the worst had come to pass and you were gone. I'm leaving today to try to see you. I'm not ready to let you go, but I know that with the Lord you'll be forever at peace and suffer no more. I'm just selfish, I guess, because I want you here with all of us. I love you!!!!

Jen, you are the only person I know that can get away with flicking the VP of Sales behind the ear in training!!!! You took my favorite movie of all times and made it a hoot. The Wizard of Oz will forever remind me of you! I don't know what else to say. I can think of a dozen different things you did daily to bring laughter to the room. My life is richer for having known you. My smile is brighter having laughed with you. My spirit is lifted knowing you are surrounded by the most powerful love in the world. The love of a Mother, a Father, a husband, siblings and above all the Lord. Peace to you, Dear Jen.

Hey Jen,
I cannot believe that this has happened. I feel like it was only yesterday that you, Cassie and I were sitting at your kitchen table, as you were reading us tarot cards. You were so funny! I am sure that you did not know a thing you were saying, but you were so convincing. I also remember that time was a huge turning point for me, in my life and you were there with a big smile and encouraging words. I really appreciate you!

In life, you sometimes lose contact with people due to being busy or "out of sight, out of mind", but you are one of those people that I had always planned to catch up with. I did not want to lose you from my life entirely. I love your sense of humor, your great smile, your sarcasm, and your no nonsense support. I know God is preparing a special place for you.

Thank you for the time you gave to me, I will cherish it and the memory of you!

I have not seen Jen for a few years, and even then, we were only what you might call fond acquaintances. We began as fellow Speech & Debate sponsors/coaches, and then I, too, found myself at McClintock. Any day that I ran into Jen was a good one. I treasure the joyful moments that I was able to share with her.

My heart goes out to her family and her understandably wide network of friends. We are all the better for knowing Jen.

I am so grateful that Jen touched me as she has so many of us. As we all share our heartache via this forum, and encourage each other to continue on, I am aware that this is the blessing Jen's life has brought us. This is her unconditional service to us all.

I have been keeping Jen and her family in my thoughts and prayers ever since I heard of her awful accident. I am very saddened to hear the latest news. I have known Jen less than a year, but knowing her is like knowing a friend who goes "way back." I met Jen in last year's production of Music Man. It was a stressful experience for many reasons, and we bonded very quickly. Jen was immediately hilarious in her role as Eulalie Shinn, and the entire cast enjoyed her presence on and off stage. I loved her vivaciousness and found her terrific smile so contagious. One day at rehearsal, she shared an electronic game with my son and the other children. I watched the way she interacted with them, and I was so thankful for the kindness she showed my son and daughter. We are all saddened to realize we won't cross paths with her again here on earth. Another time, Jen and I got to talking about recipes, and we both remembered "sour cream cucumbers" from our midwestern summers. I went home, made a batch, and brought a sampling to her. She honored me with compliments. It is difficult to understand why someone so loving, talented, and beautiful should have to leave us so soon. Perhaps it is so the rest of us can come together like this to celebrate and cherish all of these wonderful gifts. And I hope we can all go on to share more of ourselves like Jen did. God bless.

I have been reading almost daily - and praying daily for all of you - but have not signed before today. I am a co-worker at Insight, but located in Bloomingdale, IL. Jen was organizing a lot of technical classes for our software development group and I was trying to get my team (in IL) eligible for the classes. Jen had sent some group emails but we'd had no personal interaction until one day I answered my phone, to hear a melodic laugh on the other end - and a voice saying - "OH! You are who I think you are! That's all I need to know!" I couldn't help but laugh back, and we chatted for a few minutes. I was looking forward to getting to know Jen better, her spirit seemed so infectious! But it was just days later that the accident occurred. Since then I have spoken to so many of my co-workers who had met Jen in New Hire Orientation and were so impressed with her as I was. And reading here, it has been wonderful to know that she did reach so many people. Her memory will live on in each of us.

I remember playing with Abby and Jen as a small child in the Harans back lot when they lived in Columbus Ohio. Jen was of course a few years older then me and my memories of that time are a bit fuzzy. Nevertheless, I do remember her being stuck with the unfortunate job of babysitter to both Abby and me at Ioconos Pizza while her folks and my folks got the rare chance to visit and a much needed breather from the frantic pace of childrearing. Ioconos was a lot of fun for Abby and I. Whether Jen would have said the same, having to take care of such energy-depleting kids, is to be wondered at yet she was always a sport and willing to do it. The next clear memory I have of Jen is several years later when she visted my folks and me for a week in the summer. I was then a teenager and Jen, who was in her early twenties, was the embodiment of artsy and cool. A pretty, twentysomething, artisitc woman was a much cooler companion to a teenager than his dear parents. To sum up...I have always loved Jen and she has always been, in my experience, a wonderful and truly sweet lady. I pray both Our Lady and Our Lord Jesus Christ, whose love and peace pass all understanding, will be with her and protect her to a full and complete recovery in health or to eternal beatitude. Further, I pray that the Spirit of all Comfort will support all of you and grant you peace.
Nathan

Marcie- Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to meet Jennifer, but I have heard wonderful things about her from my husband, Nathan and from his parents, Dan and Helen. I was fortunate to meet Jennifer's parents last summer and was struck by the sincere, gentle, gracious, and warm nature they both have. Mike's statement is so powerful and I feel blessed by my opportunity to spend time with both of them. I pray that God is with Jennifer and her spouse, her family, and friends as we continue to pray.

I met Jen in The Music Man. It was my first community theatre experience and I was overwhelmed by the dancing and the total experience. Because we were such a large cast there was really not time for the director to give a chorus pick-a-little lady any feedback. I was certain I stunked. But there was one scene I enjoyed doing and Jen was in the wings during that time. She was the only person to give me positive feedback and told me she loved the way I did that scene. I can't tell you how important that was to me.

She was also aware of a little secret I had when I anonymously gave a gift to one of the cast. Somehow she figured out it was me and also knew that I wasn't there when the gift was discovered. She went out of her way to tell me the complete details of the "discovery", and how much it was appreciated. She said "I just wanted you to know." and she kept my secret. When we left the show, she went out of her way to tell me it was an honor working with me and she hoped to do it again. I sincerely looked forward to that and believed it would happen, and am deeply saddened that it won't now. She was a very special person.

By the way for her Mom she joked about your Tator-tot Cassorole very lovingly. Now when folks from Minnesota say they want a "Hot dish" I alway jokingly say I'll bring Tator-tot Cassorole. I think I'll keep that joke alive for both of you.

May God Watch over all of you as you adjust to this terrible sadness.

I just want you to know that all of you have been my prayers since I heard about the accident. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. Jen was a special person who was always happy and had a smile on her face, and pleasure to have around. I almost cried when I read Mike's report from Friday and I agree with him. Since there hasn't been an entry since then, I'm thinking the worst. I know though that God in heaven was there welcoming Jen home with open arms. You have the consolation of knowing that Jen will no longer be in any pain and will be whole again. I had hoped that somehow Jen would recover but sometimes that is not to be. I know how hard it is to finally let go when it's someome you love, but sometimes it is for the best. Just remember that you will continue to be in my prayers and that God will give you the strength to get through this trying time. In Jobie Love.

For the longest time I only knew Jen through email. Though our paths had a possiblity of crossing while I lived in Columbia, somehow it never happened until last fall when she came to Boston to meet some friends of friends while she was working in Montreal. Jen was one of those rare people that I liked instantly. Outgoing, personable, and so genuinely good you couldn't help but notice it. And the turkey gobble sound was utterly priceless.

I'm sad I only got to meet her the once. My heart goes out to you who are left behind. And may she know joy and peace.

I had the sincere privilege of music directing Jen in "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "Sound of Music." She was, and will always be, a dear friend..and such a talent! She gave the soprano section a huge, glorious sound...it was heaven to hear her sing. She had one of those voices that kept getting higher and higher, and would never seem to end. My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and family. God be with you all. May she find a place where she is free from all her pain and hurt. We love you Jen.

I think I only met Jen once or twice when she would visit Minneapolis, but I do remember her trying to teach my husband to dance. Which would be a miraculous feat for anyone. However, she did teach a handful of people at Gerri and Brett's wedding to "shimmy" which is deeply inbedded in my happy memories forever.
I know dearly in my heart her journey is not over and she'll be traveling far and wide. She is always a gleaming drop of dew early in the day or the smell of a grass after the storm.

To Jennifer's Family and Friends
I wish there was a way to take the pain away and a crystal ball to show us the beauty that awaits God's children as they are called home, but there isn't - all we have is the strength, love and faith in our family, friends and God.
Jen is a beautiful woman whose heart and soul will live forever in her friends and family - she touched so many people in so many ways - her smile could light up a room - her laughter always made everyone smile and her love and friendship always made my world a better place...I had the privilage to work with Jen in Joey & Maria's and the Soprano's - she was my little girl - and Joey's little sister....I will not say good bye Jen as I know we will meet again - here is what I wrote for you and your family
Farewell My Friend

As your on your journey home
I think about the time you were here.
Those moment's I'll alway's hold dear.
Alway's a friend, a joyful soul.
Someone I could count on to make my day brighter.
You were alway's a true fighter.
How lucky I am to have known you.
So as your on your journey home I won't be blue.
I will celebrate your life,
For you no longer suffer pain or strife.
I won't say goodbye, just farewell my friend.
For one day we will surely meet again.

God Bless You today and always
My love to your parents and Stan

i dont know exactly what to say...i was shocked when i first found out about Jen. My mom has been keeping me updated on everything. I was hoping and praying that everything woud get better and Jen would be alright. She was one of the great people who left a great impression on me in Job's daughters. i remember coming to bethel 13 for the first time. I was young and had just barely joined and all i remember is how sweet and nice she was. I always wanted to be like her...to sing as beautifully as she did and to be so loving and caring to everybody. And i still do want acheive all those things. God blessed me the day i met Jen Haran. She has make an impact on my life that has made me a better person. So i am saddened deeply by the news i got today. i only wish i could be out there in az at this time. But since i am unable to i would like to let Jen's family know that they all are in my prayers. This is a hard time for all of us who know and love Jen. I will be keeping Jen in my prayers. Since i am not good at ending these kind of notes, especially one as sad as this, i would like to leave a small passage from one of my favorite songs.

"and if you were with me tonight,
i'd sing to you just one more time,
a song for a heart so big,
god wouldnt let it live.
May angels lead you in,
here you meet my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in"

I am writing this as my daughter, Marissa, leaves to make her last performance at McClintock High School. She has been accepted at NYU's drama school but will probably attend ASU's musical theatre program. She owes much of her success to Jen. Jen was her favorite teacher her freshman year at McClintock. Unfortunately, Jen left the next year to work at Insight. Marissa would have loved to continue her drama studies with Jen. She was such a dynamo and inspiration. Even to me. I was laid off a few years ago from a nursing program teaching position at a vocational school. We went to see Jen in a play at Stagebrush, I forget which one, and she said she would try to help me find a job. I was hoping to get out of the low paying teaching world as well. She gave me her work # & told me to call anytime. I didn't go to work at Insight, but will never forget her offer of help. Thank you Jen for all of your care & thoughtfulness. You will be missed.
My prayers go out to Jen and her family.

Unfortunately, what follows is just words that do not do justice to the sense of delight and worth that having Jennifer as part of our lives has created. Much of what I feel has been expressed before, better �see Dylan Thomas� poem �Fern Hill.�

In her life, Jennifer captured the just plain thrill of being alive. Having many talents, she tried many things. She brought to them energy, joy and her own special and contagious brand of humor. It is hard to accept that she is so diminished, and her being so makes us all who have known and love her so much the less. I take some comfort in knowing that she is safe and secure in God�s love and that she will also remain so in my memory.

I already signed, but I'm coming back to talk about Jen a little, as Jo asked. When Jen came to Minneapolis for Brian and Eva's wedding, she was just one more person I didn't know. It wasn't a huge wedding, but there were relatives from both families that I hadn't met, and names have never been my strong point. Having been tapped for Best Man didn't leave me a lot of time for hanging around with people, either.
By the end of the evening, however, I was thanking Brian for having invited Jen, and thrilled to have had a chance to meet her. Her infectious smile and sparkling wit added a new level of enjoyment to an already-delightful occasion, and I looked forward to her next visit.
Whenever I saw her since then, I was truly delighted to do so: Jen could make a stone statue break a grin. I remember thinking that her husband was a lucky man.
I won't pretend that this situation is anywhere near as hard for me as it is for her immediate family, or even for Brian, but I hope it helps you to know that she touched lives with joy. If I don't see her again in this life, I will surely miss her.

To Jen's Family and Stan:

My husband and I only met Jen a couple of times. Most times, we learned about what she was doing through her husband, Stan or through Stan's brother Stu. Often times, Stan would join us for dinner with Stu and Stacy when Jen was busy acting. However, there was one time all six of us went out for dinner at Chili's. Jen had such a bubbly personality and I remember I was so interested in her passion for acting. She will be greatly missed.

For most of my first year and a half or so of college, all my friends talked about Jen Haran, how neat she was, how cool she was. We never really spent any time together, so I got almost tired of hearing everyone talk about how amazing this woman was. I got to a point where I couldn't stand to hear 'Jen Haran.'

I ended up riding to St. Louis on a shopping trip with her, her roommate Lynn, and two random exchange students. We got very lost and couldn't find the mall, so we ended up at the St. Louis Arch instead. We spent the whole day teaching the exchange students the merits of rolling down large hills for no observable reason. By the end of the day, I understood exactly why everyone loved her so very much, and I was another member of the Jen Haran fan club. We had a slumber party that night, and so began my first 'adult' friendship, one that taught me how to love a friend unconditionally and accept unconditional love (because I don't believe it has ever been in Jen's nature to love conditionally).

In 1995, Jen needed a date for her senior sorority formal because her boyfriend was unable to attend. I went with her. We wore similar dresses, and had a marvelous time. I still have the t-shirt from that night, and consider it one of the best 'dates' I've ever been on.

My heart goes out to Jen's family in this difficult time, and I cannot begin to tell you how much of a difference your daughter's love and friendship have made in my life.

With much love,
George

I first met Jen when I was only 5 or 6 and my parents would take me with them to the Bethel. I loved going there and playing with all of the Jobies. I remember Jen was always singing "Danke Shoen". I'm 21 years old now and I still think of Jen anytime I hear that song.

More recently, Jen was my Humanities teacher when I was a senior at McClintock High School. On the second day of class, I went to ask to use the restroom and Jen looked at me like I was crazy. She didn't realize I was in her class, she had thought that I just dropped in to visit. Jen's class did wonders for my writing. Sometimes I'd get my paper back and it would look like it was bleeding becasue she had made so many red marks, but I learned to use semicolons and commas and leave out words I didn't need. I didn't only learn a lot in Jen's class. We had a lot of fun too. We got to make masks of Gods or Goddesses when we studied Ancient Greece. My group for our Bible project got to do a Broadway inspired reinactment of Numbers from the Old Testament. We had to stand up and sing a song as a question on one of our tests, I sang "I'm a Little Tea Pot". It was one of my most favorite classes of all time and it wouldn't have been the same if Jen hadn't been there to inspire and encourage us.

Jen, I will keep you in my heart and in my prayers.

Love,
Tiff

You get to meet our maker, our savior, our beloved father in heaven. i am so excited for you to be able to have this experience, You are truly worthy of it!!!! My fondest memory of her was her everlasting joy, and i truly believe she has always been one of gods angels sent down here to us to give us peace and laughter. i can honestly say, she has made a difference in my life, i think of her often, and when hard times come around, i always remember what she would tell me. life is only what you make of it, you can change everything with a smile. i will never forget those words. never!!! nor will i ever forget you Jen, you are a true angel of God, and a wonderful spirit.

Mike, Jo, Abby, and Stan:

I have so many memories of Jen, I don't even know where to start. I met Jen when she was a student at Stevens College (or Steve's School for Chicks, as she used to call it jokingly). One time I was up in Columbia from Marshall visiting, and she had to do her radio show on the college station, I think she called it the "Saturday Morning Insane Asylum". She decided it would be funny to announce to all of Columbia that she had "Dr. Chemist" with her in the booth. I didn't think much of it, until she started getting calls from people wanting to know about how to blow up cars without getting caught. The first time I ever went to Denny's with her, I ordered grits, and from that time forward, I had to get them every time we went to a Denny's (which was pretty often) at her insistence. If I didn't order them, she'd give me a funny look and say "Aren't you going to get grits? You have to get some". I also remember many long discussions with her on the subject of Brevits, and possible methods of trapping a brevit in an effort to prove their existence. One time I bought this 1966 Honda CB-450, and I was so proud of that thing. I had it stashed on the side porch of the house I was living in. I had neglected to mention this to my Mom, who was also coming to visit, as the happiest day of her life was several months previous when I had sold my last bike. My parents were there, and Jen comes in and says how much she loved my new bike. Jen was beaming and my Mom about passed out from shock. Jen told me once that her family almost never ate at home, but I didn't really believe it until I went out for a visit one time many moons ago. Jo has this big kitchen, so I thought it might be a nice gesture to cook a Cajun dinner for everyone in thanks of the hospitality. Y'all said it was really good, but I think you were just humoring me a little, as I remember it, the okra was a little tough.

I just wanted to share a few tidbits with you, and let you know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Well this must be about the fifth time I have tried to write about my memories of Jennifer. I have know the Harans and Jennifer for many years. I too remember Jennifer getting her drivers license. Her first time driving alone was to a Bethel meeting, and she got lost going home. I think Jennifer kept the grace award for most of that year. And she told on herself. Jennifer and I were very close working as treasurer and then when Jennifer was recorder I was Secretary and I had the wonderful pleasure of being Bethel Guardian when Jennifer was Honored Queen. We had such a great Bethel and I love seeing all the messages from the members of Jobs Daughters.

I remember taking Jennifer to Seattle for Supreme Bethel. I think we had about 10 girls and 4 adults. We went to the Space Needle, and to Pike' Market. Jennifer was one of the few girls who had ever eaten King Crab. Everyone tried it and liked it. Jennifer had seen some Taro cards in a magic shop and after getting permission to buy the cards I went back into the maze of shops to buy her cards. She had a great time telling our future with the cards. None of us cared that Jennifer knew nothing about what the cards ment. We just had a great time. I found a book that Jennifer and Jo made for me as I was stepping down as Bethel Guardian. It is letters from all of the girls in the Bethel thanking me for being their Guardian. I was also give a music box nativity which I still have.

Jennifer was always ready with a "make-it-up as you go" story. And she could make you believe every word she said.

We have all been blessed to know such a great person.

Stan, Mike, Jo and Abby we are sending love and prayers with our angels to help you through this time.

Thank you for keeping everyone posted with this site. Mike what you said today touched me and a lot of my friends because we all have had to ask the question, "Why?" and now I have an answer.

Love always,

Mike, Jo & Stan,
I have known Jen for years through music ministry at St. Tim's. She sang soprano with me at the 12:30 group before she decided to sing on Sat., then become a morning person and do 8:30. We also got to catch up a bit when she was around to direct "Lystra" (I played Jewish Woman #7). Since this tragedy occurred, I anxiously await Mike's or Dcn. Dick's updates about Jen's condition that get circulated for the Lystra cast. Tim & Tom also try to keep us updated on her condition. Theresa Ratti gave me the news of the heartbreaking challenge you had to endure tonight. She and I met at the Adoration Chapel at St. Anne's at 8pm to pray for Jen and your family and that God's will be done for my friend. The song "Hold Me Jesus" became like a litany in my head and I know that He will welcome Jen's bright smile and sassy personality with open arms when he calls her Home. Hers will be a beautiful and booming voice in the Divine choir of angels that will touch our hearts and lift our spirits. I feel blessed to have known your daughter and pray that your family continues to find peace as you trust in God's love and mercy.

I wish to send my prayers and thoughts to Jen's family. I was very fortunate to be able to perform with her at the Stagebrush in "Into The Woods" sometime back. Jen was always a delight to see at every rehearsal, adding her touch of humor on the stage and off. I cannot begin to tell you how much she will be missed in the theatre community.

It has been my sincere pleasure to direct Jen in 4 shows in the past: Into the Woods, The Sound of Music, Meet Me in St. Louis, and The Music Man. Each experience holds many happy memories for me but mostly what I remember is laughing. Laughing at Jen. Laughing with Jen. It is completely beyond my comprehension that I will no longer be able to call her up and say "Hey, wanna do a show?" I will miss her smile, her talent, her beauty, her voice, her laughter, her kindness...the list goes on. She is truly one in a million and I pray I will get to "play" with her again in another time and place. I love you Jen and will miss you immensely. God Bless you and your family.

Over the last 14 years I have had the honor of taking care of many patients, young and old, the ill and the victims of circumstance, and their families as end-of-life decisions are being made, and none have surpassed your grace. You inspire me and you renew my faith. I have known Jen over the past five years from the choir at St. Tim's--she was one of the people who really made me feel welcome. We've been singing that song that someone posted today at St. Tim's lately--I know I'll be thinking of Jen whenever I hear it from now on. I am so sorry for your loss and grief. I know you'll have your own saint in heaven praying for you now!

We prayed for Jen and you, her family last night at our Women's Christian Fellowship, and though I haven't met you I wanted to tell you a short story that I have held close to my heart about heaven. A friend of mine was drawing near to his death last May and kept an online journal similar to this one. His family continued it when he was no longer able. One night in particular his son wrote us of his father waking with a glorious smile and telling the family that he never knew God would have such a great sense of humor and another night of how very, very beautiful heaven is. It is hard to describe in words and even harder over a computer keyboard but his words later read at his funeral were such a great comfort, that our Lord is waiting in a very special place prepared for us when our New Life begins. My heart hurts for you all. I hope I've done the right thing writing you this. I felt I was supposed to.
Praying for you now, 7:55pm.

Words cannot express how I feel about the love I feel for Jen. My heart goes out to Stan & Jen's family. The best I can offer up are some memories and thoughts about Jen.

Jen & I first met freshman year at Stephens while "crewing" our first show. She made the lawnmower sounds & I made the milk bottle sounds for a production of "Our Town." We both got to sing in the choir, although I'm not sure why the let me. Jen, on the other hand, had a beautiful voice.

Our friendship really flourished the summer before our junior year while we were slave labor at summer stock theatre in the middle of a corn field in northwestern Iowa. It was cemented by countless late night Denny's runs where Jen practiced her turkey calls & I practiced balancing spoons on my nose.

We remained friends & kept in contact even after graduation & many miles apart. I grew up as a military brat, and Jen is one of the few people that I have kept in contact with over the years. She is one of the few people who "knew me when. . ." Everytime we met up again, it was like going home for me. It was like we had never been apart and I was guaranteed to laugh until I ached at least five times during the visit.

There's a quote by E.M. Forester that I keep on my desk at work that reminds me of Jen everytime I read it.

"I believe in the aristocracy. . . Not an aristocracy of power, based upon rank and influence, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky. Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them whe they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them die in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive to themselves as well as for themselves, they are considerate without being fussy, and their pluck is not swankiness but the power to endure, and they can take a joke."

I love you, Jen.

Stan and the Harans,
My heart is so heavy today. I as the rest of you have been praying for a miracle. I hope that God in his infinite wisdom is doing the right thing, and helps each of you and provides some comfort during this time.

I must say that over the past 2 years of getting to know Jen she always left a smile on my face. Her funny emails of "evil minks" and "voodoo spells" as well as her calls about Stan breaking ANOTHER cooking stone always made me laugh. I will never forget her stories of the "road trip" to catch the cruise! Jen helped me start my business and supported me as my first "PC junkie". I owe many of the stories I tell my clients to her. I don't think I would of ever tried "astronaut" bacon (precooked and packaged) if it weren't for her!

Somewhere in heaven the angels will be laughing a little harder with her by their side... her beautiful voice will be the envy of them all.

I miss you my friend....

I had the pleasure of working directly with Jen in two Valley productions. She was Jack's Mother and I was Little Red Ridinghood in Scottsdale Community Players' Into The Woods. The next year, I assistant directed The Sound Of Music, in which Jen played one of the Sisters. Jennifer is truly a talented woman...her singing voice is amazing, her comic timing spot-on, her ability to do accents...I could go on and on. But what impressed me even more about Jennifer, is her work ethic and her care for people. Always vibrant, always giving 110%, always laughing and joking and enjoying life.

When I started directing community theater productions in the Valley, Jennifer kept telling me she wanted to work with me on a show. Well, by some miracle if that happens, I would welcome it in a heartbeat. If not, though, maybe Jennifer can direct us...she will have the best seats in the house!

I just wanted the family to know that Jennifer touched so many lives through her talent and her vibrant personality...you probably don't know many of us, but we sure know Jennifer.

She has touched my life personally, and for the better.

May God bless you and watch over her.

"Hang It On The Cross"

If you have a secret sorrow,
a burden or a loss,
An aching need for healing...
Hand It On The Cross

If worry steals your sleep
and makes you turn and toss,
If your heart is feeling heavy...
Hang It On The Cross.

Every obstacle to faith
or doubt you come across,
Every prayer unanswered...
Hang It On The Cross.

For Christ has borne our brokenness
and dearly paid the cost
To turn our trials to triumph...
Hanging On The Cross.

You all have been in my thought and prayers these many weeks. I, like you, have been praying for a miracle, but I guess it wasn�t to be.
I wish I had known that Jen was an old Jobie. With me being an old Rainbow Girl, we could have discussed the pros & cons of Job�s vs. Rainbow.
Jen, I will miss your wit and warped sense of humor. You always made the ERT meetings fun and the training sessions with the CPR dummy anything but boring.
We all have been blessed just knowing you. The Angels choir will sing so much sweeter with you sweet voice added. I�m sure that we will be able to hear you if we just listen closely. God Bless and God�s speed; I will see you around the bend some day.

After working woth Jennifer in many many MANY productions around the valley, I can honestly say she is an amazing talent, a sparkling person, and a true gem in the eyes of the AZ theater community. You couldn't get me to stop smiling whever I'd see her at an audition, or hear that she'd been cast in a show I was involved in... She simply possesses that extraordinary ability to make everything so much fun! When the cast of Dearly Departed heard about the accident, we really didn't have much information but we all prayed for the best, and even dedicated the show to her speedy recovery. I had no idea how serious her accident really was until reading this site today, and it hurts my heart to think that I may never get to experience that feeling again. That feeling of light and excitement bubbling up inside, as only Jen could inspire it to.

I still continue to hope and pray for the best, but please know, whatever happens, the memories Jennifer has planted in the hearts and minds of her friends in this community will never be forgotten.

Jen, I love you girl... And if you don't come back to us, give 'em hell up there, ok? ^_^

Every night when I put my son to bed I kiss him gently and whisper "angels watch over you." I am sending that special sentiment because I know you must have done this with Jen all of her life (even when she grew up and moved away)... She is one of the most dynamic and wonderful people I have known in my life and only wish I had a 1/4 of her charm, wit, grace, humor and way with people. She gave 200% of herself to everyone she came in contact with and everything that she did... She definitely is a gift from God that will live in all of our hearts forever... I am proud to have been part of her life... I have been searching high and low for the perfect "angel" to keep in my home to represent Jennifer's love for life...She is an inspiration to me and someone I will never forget! God Bless you Mr. Haran, Mrs. Haran, Abby, Stan and family... We love you!

This isn't my first time posting to the guestbook, but I feel compelled to do so again today. I again thank you for continuing to keep us all updated with this site throughout an ordeal that I cannot even comprehend. I'm sure posting to this site was not something anyone looked forward to every day. Your posting today is so profound that it literally stopped my day in its tracks. Whatever I was doing seemed so small and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

As I stated before, I worked on the large training project at Insight with Jen last fall, and got to know her through that process. I'm grateful that we were able to connect and had many discussions regarding our shared faith and felt that she was truly a sister in Christ. I also felt very priveledged that Jen would let me see her rough drafts of the play she was helping to write for about St. Timothy. It was really well written, and I felt special being able to see something that wasn't supposed to be seen yet.

Most everyone has commented on her humor. She had a way of disarming people and situations with that gift. I'm sure many people will recognize my favorite Jen phrase-"You're so pretty!" When one of us would appear clueless or mess something up, the "You're so pretty" phrase would make an appearance and the pressure would release.

Although it may seem trite, I heard a song yesterday about praising God at all times, through good and bad. It's by a group called Tree63, and I thought you might like the lyrics:

BLESSED BE YOUR NAME

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
And blessed be Your name when I�m found in the
desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing You pour out I�ll turn back
to praise
And when the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name when the sun�s shining
down on me
When the world�s �all as it should be�
Blessed be Your name
And blessed be Your name on the road marked
with suffering
Though there�s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

You will all continue to be in my prayers and those of my family.

My heart goes out to all of you! Jen was a wonderful inspiration to everyone that knew and loved her. There are so many memories that include Jen... that it is so hard to just pick one. But, I would have to say the memory that comes to mind was at Supreme Session August of 1992. We were in Minnesota and I was going out of office as SBHQ. We were having a pizza party one night and all of us were sitting around on the floor. Jen and Abby decided to perform "Anything you can do, I can do better". The two of them performing was hilarious... they had us laughing hysterically. They were definitely able to entertain us for the evening! It was a true blessing to know Jen for the many years I did.

How quickly the light of one so caring ang good burns so fast and bright. But it is the brightness that attracts those around her and the goodness and love that makes them want to hold on so fast to her.

I knew Jen but briefly, but it obvious to anyone who reads this journal that she is loved and cared for. The acting community is tight in Phoenix and we all work with one another eventually. I did not have that privledge, but I wish I had.

Please accept my prayers for Jen and the entire family. May the light of God shine upon you all at your time of need.

Ah, Jennifer stories. Having known you, Jennifer, since you were the proverbial gleam, there are many � at four months, asleep on our rug with the cat snuggling up for a nap. Persistently climbing out of bed at two years. At almost five, whispering to your mom, asking why I was feeding Nathan from my bra. Always � after Abby and Nathan arrived � patiently putting up with them through hair pulling, Friday night video games at Godfather�s Pizza, and numerous play adventures.

You have always been self confident and well-behaved � sometimes so well-behaved that your dad had to coach you on bully punching. I invariably looked forward to seeing you and never, ever felt disappointed in that anticipation.

Growing up, you had an amazing ability to analyze, separate, explain, connect, classify, compare, and infer. On numerous occasions you would discuss the behavior of others. It was delightfully disconcerting to have you, as an eight year old, discuss three year old Nathan�s developmental status or the interpersonal dynamics of Dan�s and my marriage. I�m certain that your ability to step back and see the world is a major source of your humor.

The Friend family was bummed when you all moved to Arizona. Fortunately, whenever we saw you or talked on the phone, it seemed as if you had never left. I especially enjoyed your extended return trip to Columbus the summer you worked here. You and Nathan became book-loving, outrageous conspirators. One particular image of you lingers � of you and Nate, after the July 4th Whetstone fireworks, walking arm-in-arm ahead of Dan and me, heads together, plotting who knows what and laughing uproariously.

I pray that you know how deeply and intensely you and your family are loved.

Jen & Family,
My memories of Jen always show me a vivacious, sassy woman with a heart as big as the great outdoors. At Insight, I had heard of Jen before I met her & when we did meet � it was like meeting your next best friend. That laugh always kept us from getting too serious and really being able to enjoy our work. There were many occasions of taking very fun lunches, dishing the latest and knowing you belonged to a second family � the training sisters lunching and laughing. Her birthday tea was a memory I will never forget and for those of you that had the opportunity to know Jen, you will know this was a TOTALLY JEN event. With girly hats and high tea, Jen�s energy just flowed.

It is with heavy heart and damp eyes that I write this but today, this quote has helped�

�The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy. � J.Rohn

When unique people enter your world, you know it. Its finest examples are Jen & her lovely family � I have been truly blessed to have their love & friendship.

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
and, Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand"

Each time I read a story I can't help but think that I can totally picture Jen in that situation...lighting up the room with a smile, making someone feel at ease with her quick wit...etc. It also makes me wish I knew her better. There's a group of us at Insight that have a cookie exchange each year at Christmas time and Jen was in that group. We all bring our treats and put them on the table. Then we go around and tell everyone what we brought. Jen brought a Greek dessert this last year; she'd received the recipe from a family friend. One of the gals (Kelley) couldn't make it to the exchange so Jen brought Kelley's dessert for her. When we were going around the room telling what we brought, Jen sort of moved to one side, changed her voice, and spoke as 'Kelley'. It's kind of silly, but that always makes me smile. Mr and Mrs Haran, you created and molded this wonderful person. Although I can't even imagine how bittersweet the stories have to be for you, you must know that we all care about her and treasure her because of the job you did as parents. You must be so proud to know that she touched SO many lives. Thank you for taking the time to update this site to keep us informed. You wrote today that we can't all have miracles. You are right; if we did, then they'd become common place...and miracles as we know them would cease to exist. Jen, in and of herself has been a light and miracle to us all. I don't know that there is a reason why this happened. I don't think an answer can be provided to all of us. But, I do believe that in our own lives, we will find our own answers to that question.

Dear Mike, Jo, Abby and Stan,
My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. It is never easy to say good-bye to a loved one, especially one who has touched as many people as Jen has. Her love of life has been second to none. Jen is such an amazingly gifted woman, in song, speech, thought, in everything. I regret only that I let time after Job's Daughters slip away, and that one of the people that I truly admired will no longer be with us. I wish for you all peace in the knowledge that Jen will one day greet you at the gates of heaven, singing a beautiful song, and enfold you in her arms to welcome you back into her eternal life...

Dearest Stan, Mike, Jo, and Abby,
I thought I would put this in a letter, Mom said no. So, here is a trip through time. Let's go back about 32 years, yes 32 years. When I went to Ohio with Grandmom and Grandpop. I was first introduced to Jen. Okay Jo you were pregnant. I thought it was a really neat thing. My first picture of Jen is from the Ohio Historical Museum. When Uncle Joe took a picture of you and me at the Statue of the Doughboy. I thought I was a princess, being able to spend time with you. And I knew that this baby would be spoiled, if she was treated anything close to the way I was being treated. I thought the the baby would be special(how little did I know) because she would have great parents. Fast forward a couple of years, three to be more accurate. My family then drove up to Ohio for a visit. Jen was 2 and 1/2 and Laura was 1 and 1/2. Steve still talks about the basements and how the only thing Jen would eat was french fries. Then later in the visit at Anut Virginia and Uncle Joe's house in the dining room, Laura and Jen bit each other. Aunt Virginia was beside herself and you and Mom said, 'oh well.' Now let's fast forward again, when you came to Florida for a visit. You, Mom, Jen, Abby and Laura went to the Magic Kingdom(Steve and I had to go to school). The five of you went on the coldest day of the year and got to ride everything you wanted. It was discovered that Jen couldn't see, she couldn't see the bears or the parade. Now we really have to go forward in time.....still going.....still going.....stop. Mom and Laura and I make our way out to Arizona. What a great trip. Jen had her tonsils out and wouldn't remove her name band, she was saving it for someone. Sitting around the table, listening to Jen, Abby, and Laura finish each others sentences. It was three peas in a pod. They had the same interest, liked the same stuff. It was unreal. Then I got into the action. I couldn't believe it, four peas in a pod. But not quite the same as those three. Each one a performer. Now we are up to Laura and Chris' wedding. Sitting around the table on my back porch with some of Chris' friends all smoking cigars and drinking in to the early morning. This is when Jen and I discovered that we were more alike then we imagined. Jen has a wit about her that is second to none. Knowledgable about so many things, she reminds me of Uncle Joe. Now fast forward to Jen and Stan's wedding. What a blast. After the reception Jen and Stan went riding around in the ever so cute BMW at about 1am. Now the reason I know this is I was washing clothes in the hotel. There was a window on the door. I heard a scratching sound and looked up and saw this face smashed up against the glass. Then a couple of years later Jen, Stan, Stu and Stacy come to Florida on their way to San Juan to catch the boat. The boys feel in love with her. Aidan and Kevin called her Aunt Jen, but of course. Good times were had by all. Fast forward a couple of years to last year and I fly out to Arizona. I so enjoyed that trip. I love being around family, especially family that does not know just how fantastic I think they are. So now you all know that you are a fantastic family. Come to find out that Jen and I wear the same size shirts. She had me trying one everything. I ended up buying clothes I would never have thought to buy. I was told, just because I'm old I don't have to grow up. So now I refuse to grow up because of Jen. And now the whole world knows. These are just a few little snippets in my tells of Jen. I wish you were not having to go through this. I love you all. From one cuz to another...peace.

My biggest regret was not having spent more time with Jen. We were friends in choir and drama at Dobson, and saw one another a parties thrown by mutual friends. No one could forget her amazing voice, but even more amazing her always shining personality.

She asked me to join her book club quite a while back, but my life did not permit it. I would have learned so much from her, I wish that I had made the time. I have met few people in my life who are such positive, caring and loving influences. If Jen did nothing else with her time here, it would still be an brilliant life by the way that she has touched so many others. Jen's legacy is the love that she shared, most can only hope to reach a fraction of the people that Jen's life has reached.

My heart aches for her family, I can only think that God grants us such brilliant lights for only a short time, and from this we all need to learn to appreciate every moment with extraordinary individuals like herself.

Love,
Christie

Jennifer - from an old Chinese Proverb:
"If there is light in the soul, There will be beauty in the person. . .
If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. . .
If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation . . .
If there is order in the nation, there will be Peace in the World.
As you take your candle to go help light the Heavens, we ask that you especially remember us to our Blessed Mother, as the two of you, along with her Son, get to work on bringing beauty, harmony,
order and Peace in the World. And when you do go, the angels will dance.

Stan, Mike, Jo, Abby,
Words cannot express my feelings and thoughts about Jen and about your family. Jen is and always will be very close to my heart and remembered as one of my dearest friends. I know that there arent words to comfort or to make your pain go away, I have watched and been with you throughout this ordeal and I am amazed at your strength and your perserverance. I love Jennifer and all of you very much and you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I am here for anything you need anytime you need it. Thank you for allowing me to be with your family, I hope that the small amount that I am able to do for you helps in some small way. Jen means an awful lot to me because she has always been there when I needed a friend to talk to and when I needed someone to help me through my troubles. She is a wonderful woman with a big heart who made my life much better just by being in it. I have so many memories of Jen, there isnt just one moment to put here, but the simple fact that she loved life and she never took things for granted is what I will remember the most. She always lived for the moment and did what felt right at the time. She is loved by so many and has touched so many people's lives.

You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers, please do not hesitate to call for any reason.

Love Always,

Laura

Dear Haran and Wilbur Family Members,
My memories of Jen go back to my days as a jobie, a council member and guardian of Bethel #7 in Scottsdale. As I read the stories in this guestbook, her life outside of Jobies comes to life. She has blessed the lives of so many people in this world. She has been an angel walking among us sprinkling His love and peace wherever she has traveled. I will always remember Jen's reign as Miss Arizona Job's Daughter. She represented Arizona's Job's Daughters with dignity and grace. Of course she added lots of spunk, joy, song, and laughter to her reign as well. I pray that when she leaves us that the stories in this book will bring you some comfort and peace. My prayers continue to be for a miracle, but remember sometimes miracles happen in different ways. Jen, you have created a miracle by reminding all of us former Jobies how important our years as Job's Daughters were and no matter how long it has been since we have seen a dear jobie friend, they are still dear to our heart. May God's grace, peace, and love surround each of you.
God Bless,

A little over a year ago, while working as a member of the emergency response team here at 51st street, Jennifer was called over to my desk. At the time, I was having a seizure. When I finally started "coming to," Jennifer was one of the first people I recognized. I asked her what happened, and she told me and being her normal humorous self, tried all she could to make me feel comfortable. I noticed that my "fanny pack" with all my I.D. was missing and asked her about it. She had it with her, as the Paramedics took it off and handed it to her as I was coming out of my seizure. I asked why she had it, and without missing a beat said, "I had to check and see if you had any money. How else are we going to see if you should go to the hospital or not?" I couldn't help but smile and chuckle. It was her way of saying, "Relax, everything is under control, and you will be all right!" Everytime I saw her from that moment on, I couldn't help but smile and remember how she let me know that the worst was over.

Dear Family,

I had the opportunity to watch your daughter and (wife) perform in Sun City and it was a pleasure. I hope the Lord keeps her safe and lets her be the angel in heaven that she was for us down here. My thought and prayers are with you from the beginning till always.

I knew Jennifer through her relationship with Kelly Madison at Insight. She is a precious angel and although her physical presence will be missed, I will remember her always seeing her smiling and laughing when I see rainbows and when I see the color lavendar.

To Jen, Stan, and all the family members,
Although I did not have the opportunity to get to know Jen...I have known about her and her husband Stan through Stans brothers wife Betsy Wilbur....she is my best friend. The night of the accident Betsy called and told me about the accident and asked me to pray....and i did. I have prayed and thought about Jen and her family each and every day since that day. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this very difficult time. I come to this site everyday and read the postings that have been written about Jennifer...the only thing I can say is that I wish that I could have known her...her zest for life is very evident in each posting...I wish I would have had the opportunity to hear her sing...or maybe act in a play....it is clear she was talented beyond measure.
I pray that God will give you peace that passes all understanding as you go through these next few days. Please let me know if I can do anything to help.

Dear Ones,
Where do I start with memories of Jennifer and your family. It all began 18 years ago, hard to believe. Of course our meeting and becoming friends was with Job's Daughters. The first impression I can remember about Jennifer is when she used to do the imitation of a Cat with a hairball.... I never laughed so hard! I used to take her to all the adults and have her do the "Hairball thing". Of course her beautiful memory work and her voice from heaven. Then she was taking all her religious classes and had to make choices. All of a sudden she blossomed into a young woman and got her drivers license. This was not a good thing. We would wonder every two weeks when we had our meetings, what kind of tale Jennifer would share about her driving experience(s). At school she was real involved in drama and would do her one-woman shows for us. Then she wrote her rendition of the story of Job, as "Mrs. Job" would have told it. Jennifer of course won all kinds of awards for that act.
Jennifer then decided to try out for Miss Arizona Job's Daughters Pageant. Well we all knew no one could touch Jennifer, when you've got it, you've got! And of course she won.
Then when she graduated from high school and left all of us for college, that was very sad. But she returned home with all kinds of wonderful stories about being a DJ and in summer stock. Of couse this was another time we would laugh and laugh. There was never a dull moment with Jennifer around.
Anytime I needed help or a good laugh I would e-mail Jen and she would be there for me. She is a true friend to all. There is so much more to share and we will when we are together.
For those of you who haven't known Jennifer for a very long time, trust me her humor and craziness come from her Mother and Father. Then there is Abby, dear sweet Abby, Jen's sister. She was the outspoken one, who wanted to become the first woman President of the United States. This is her claim to fame, okay all the "old timers" remember it. Abby still has lots of votes out there for her no matter what party she'll run under. Abby is oh, so very talented too. Jo must be a saint to have made it through Jennifer and Abby growing up in the same house. What a challenge! Then there is Mike, well Jennifer used to assure me that he really wasn't as scary as I thought he was. It took many years for me to realize Jennifer was right, Mike is a great big teddy bear, with a big soft heart! I really didn't get to know Stan very well and am looking forward to getting to know him.
Jennifer sang for me the song "No one will ever hurt you" for me in 1992 and I wish that the message from that song, Jennifer sang for me would have worked for her.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Jennifer and your family. Even today writing this she made me laugh. Jennifer's love and laughter has brought all of us joy forever after.
Jo, Mike, Abby, Stan and the Wilbur family, there are no words to express the sadness we are all feeling. There is no doubt that Jennifer will be with the angles and watching over all of us. God Bless, all of you, and remember I love you!

I think that if I had had to choose a Bethel to visit that was my favorite it was 13, all because of Jen and Abby...Jen never failed to come up with some quip or joke that had everyone rolling. Whenever I think about her I think of JEn and Abby together singing a song at grand bethel (I think it was grand bethel) about anything you can do I can do better...they were too cute...They were so close, I wish my brother and I were that close. I hope you have wonderful memories of her, not just this last month or so...stay strong, and celebrate the good things in her life...and if there is anything I can do please call...

Abby, Mr. and Mrs. Haran, and Stan,
I don't have words to say, other than offering up prayers of peace and comfort for Jen and all of you. You must know by now just a fraction of the lives that were touched by Jen, and she will not be forgotten. I have many memories; Jen's beautiful voice whether raised in song or simply speech; times when Copa Cabana seemed like the key to selling programs and seat cushions autographed by the queen herself; a loving hug given to me as a young Jobie girl...

I thank the Father that He blessed us with Jen, and I struggle with His timing to take her Home. I pray for His arms to be around you as you grieve, and may laughter and memories mix with the tears we are all soon to shed. Please know that your family will be in my heart and prayers for a very long time. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

In Christ,
Stephanie

Yesterdays gospel was the story of the apostles walking on the road to Emmaus. That is the road you are on at this time. The apostles did not recognize Jesus. Their hearts were burning inside. Just as your love for Jen is burning inside of you, know that Jesus is walking with you every step of the way, in the care and support of those around you and the many people who you may or may not know you. May God's grace help you to take comfort in that knowledge.
Peace and many prayers.

Dear Stan, Mike, Jo and Abby: I have been sitting here during my lunch hour reading some of the entries in the Guestbook after reading today's update. I especially liked the search for the Denny's and can just see Jennifer driving around telling everyone, "We'll be there soon, I know it!" But as I read many of the recent entries I realized that Jen has lived one of the fullest lives and made more friends than I could have ever comprehended. It is so obvious that everyone she touched and so many who have never met her, felt her wonderful sunny spirit and it has left it's mark on them. As I check the update everyday, I pray for Jen and all of you and I know that God will give you the strength and peace to deal with whatever comes. Mike and Jo, you raised a wonderful daughter and passed on to her such rare qualities to have been able to touch as many hearts as she has. Abby, you have been such a close friend and wonderful sister to Jen and I know that her leaving will leave a hole in your world, but you will have all of the happy, sad, funny and other(!) memories that sisters share, and you will never be without her in your heart. Stan, I have seen how much you love her and the kind of devotion you have to her which is so rare these days with all of the marital difficulties that so many young people go through and just give up rather than endure and work it out.

May God bless you all for the special people that you are and surround you and Jen with His love and peace in the days to come.
Love,
Joanie

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Jennifer, but like some many others have kept up with the e-mail and am very touched by the support and love from family, friends, and co-workers at Insight. The people I have talked to that did know her,had beautiful things to say about her personality and freindship with other people. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this very hard time.

I do not know Jen and I have never met her. I heard of the unfortunate accident through work and have kept up with her progress. I am amazed to see the support and friendship she has from people all over. It's so fantastic, you all should be extremely proud to have known her and have her in your life, as I'm sure you are. I just wish I could have had the same honor as the rest of you. I think about the situation often and hope the best for her and her family.
Thank you for keeping us updated and God bless.

I didn't know Jen very well, but she was one of my wife, Claudia's, first good friends since we moved to AZ almost two years ago. I remember we had just got a lab puppy (Libby) and Jen was playing with her and our two boys (Nathan and Noah) in our living room. In the short time I had to spend with her I could tell she was one of those people that you never forget because of her outgoing personality and "always happy" attitude.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Jen.

Hi Jenn! It's Nicole (Viola) from Joey & Maria's again. I just thought you would like to know that we're going to be missing you a WHOLE lot when we do the show in Yuma next weekend. The bridesmaids have done a little "tribute" line to you during the ceremony...at the part where you used to say "I love tomatoes" the girls all say "Nikki loves tomatoes!" We miss you and want you to hurry back, OK? You are in my prayers every night.

Jen ~ my thoughts & prayers are with you as you await the time when Our Heavenly Father will take you home to be with Him. May your slumber be peaceful until that time.

You have always been a very special, sweet young woman. I've enjoyed watching you yourself matured during your own "active" years in Job's Daughters; and then how you've inspired other young girls in the Order by the values you have.

You will be remembered by oh so many, many people whose hearts & lives you have touched. Not just those associated with you through Job's Daughters, but the countless others throughout the world. This is evident by the almost 20,000 entries here in your journal.

Your voice is one that will definitely be included in the "Choir of Heavenly Angels". I've always enjoyed watching your performances, whether musical, comical or dramatical. You have the ability to make the listener feel they are part of the act/performance.

Jo, Mike, Abby & Stan ~ I truly can't begin to imagine what a difficult time this is for all of you, and am at a loss of really just what to say. God will keep watch over the 4 of you and your other family members during this time. My thoughts & prayers are with each of you.

God Bless ~

Hi,

I�ve been keeping up with Jen�s status. I have just read the most recent entry and my heart aches and goes out to Jen, her family and loved ones! May God bless you for your courage and give you strength to hang on!

Jen is a magical person, who has touched many - without even trying! Although I didn�t get the chance to get to know her very well, it was enough to make me realize how precious she is! I hold her dear to my heart.

I believe in the power of love and prayer!

I vow to keep praying for each one of you � every single day!

jEN,
I know I told you this before, but you have the most AMAZING voice EVER!!!! I remember sitting in church one day at mass and lo and behold - as I scanned the choir, I saw a familiar face! I was so impressed to see you there, I even pointed you out to my mom. From that day on I would check to see if you were singing at the mass I attended. I was delighted when (what seem like at LONG LAST) you had a solo. I couldn't believe the spirit and energy that emanated from your voice - no disrespect to your fellow choir ensemble - but I could not get over why you weren't singing solo ALL THE TIME! What a gift - and while it's all well and good to be a team player...forget that! You should have been standing up front projecting that awesome instrument!! Each Sunday I'd glance expectantly in that direction hoping you'd be singing, and solo at that. It was always such a pleasure to have you carry us through the service with music. You are a blessing and you have touched me profoundly with your talent, your hilarious personality and your genuine warmth as a woman.
God bless and much love, aNnIE

Stan,Abby,Mr.&Mrs.Haran,
I am continually praying for each one of you, and most especially Jen. Your family has always been so completely wonderful and it has been a joy and a privilege knowing you through the years. Never a dull moment with you crazy kids, that's for sure! I love you and send you all the peace and strength vibes I can muster!
God bless & much love, anNiE

Jen-
I think of you every day. We shared so much in our teenage years. My biggest regret is that we drifted apart as we grew older. I will always remember when we met--We were in that silly musical, "Wheels," in 7th grade. Even then you had the most beautiful voice. We had to be a table together, and we bonded instantly. Then we were Moon and Birdboot in that dinner theater. What a team we made! I remember spending the night at your house so many times. The power went out almost every time I stayed, and we had Abby convinced I was a witch or something. No one could scare me with a Ouija board like you could. I remember laughing hysterically to Monty Python's version of some John Denver song. We rewound it over and over and had to hold each other up we were laughing so hard. We learned how to put on makeup together using a teen magazine, and you kissed a boy first and told me all about it. I think the only argument we ever had was over whether you should pump the mascara wand before applying! How many times did we MC talent shows together? How many nights did we stay up giggling into the wee hours? I would pay any price to have one more laugh with you. No one could make me laugh like you could! You will be forever young in my heart, forever laughing, forever singing with your angelic voice. You'll never know how much I love you, and how much I miss you. I will not give up hope that you will recover until I have no choice. No matter what happens, I know we will be young and silly together again in Christ's kingdom. If you get there first, save me a place. Friends and Sisters Forever,
Aim

What a wonderful person Jen IS! She is still the same person inside that we knew when we worked on the Insight project together for such a short time. It didn't take long to see that she had and (I'm sure still has) a glow. What a tragic accident! She is in God's hands now and He will do the right thing for her. May God Bless her family.

Jen was such a pleasure to know with such a warm and bubbly personality and spirit. This is my last memory of her and this is how I would like to remember her.

Jen,
You were the first friend I had when I moved here from Iowa. We bonded over your beanie baby buying spree in St. Louis. When things got bad for me here, you opened your home to me and we became roommates and better friends. You always had surprises for me while we lived together. For example, I remember coming home one day to a new three-leggged friend, Tripod! :) What a great cat she was and your big heart was what rescued her from otherwise certain doom. Then there was Porter. You called me one day shortly after Christmas in a panic because Porter had gotten on the kitchen table some how and eaten the chocolate cookies that my grandmother had sent me. You had to go have his stomach pumped as a result. Finally, the most memorable event is when you brought Stan home for the first time after one of your first dates. I was sitting at my computer; just like I'm doing now; and the two of you came into the office and where the cutest couple ever. I could tell you had found your match. I love every we moment we had together and there are so many more special memories I could share! I just want you to know how much I love you and admire you. I wish that my baby Caitlin would have been able to meet you and feel the goodness that exudes from your every pore. God has taken a precious angel from us but I know that he has special plans for you now! Just know that we (the Alber family) will always think of you and love you!

My wife Maria Elena & I were driving home the other day thinking about Jen and the request for stories, and this experience immediately came to both us.

An Adventure in Southern Illinois and Missouri, or How Do You Get to Denny�s?

It all started innocently enough. We had just finished striking and loading the set for Jubilee 2000 into its truck for the long journey home to Arizona. The performances in Belleville, Illinois had been successful and a tired cast and crew were ready for a good night�s rest before flying back to Phoenix the next afternoon. It was after midnight and we all were ready to go back to the hotel, but several of us were hungry. The list of hungry actors (isn�t that a redundant phrase?) grew to require the use of 4 vehicles to caravan to one of the only 2 restaurants still open after midnight in the small town outside of St. Louis: either the Steak & Shake or the Denny�s.

The decision was made that we wold all go to Denny�s. And that would be the last clear example of precise and effective decision making made by by 1/2 of us that night. 2 of the cars quickly sped off to Denny�s as we thought we confirmed directions. Thought is the key word here. Our half of the convoy consisted of the Trotti�s Explorer and the sedan than Jen had rented for the week. Our car had Jen Haran, who, in the show, was Dorothy Day, at the wheel; James Clotfelter, the lighting designer, riding shotgun; dancer Leslie Ringler; Maria Elena (who was Lucifer); and me, Jarrod, the stage manager. It�s not every car that has Satan as a passenger, let alone Satan and her date, but I don�t think that had anything to do with the fun that was yet to be had.

I don�t recall at this time who all else was in our companion vehicle, except for Rich Trotti, and that should scare everyone.

Let start by saying we thought we knew where we were going. The directions seemed simple enough. A few right turns, a few left turns, go around the fountain, another turn ot 2 and you�re there. That and the fact that Leslie had been there just the night before led us to believe we could get there in a reasonable amount of time, have a quick snack, and get back to the hotel in time to get some sleep. Even the knowledge that Rich Trotti was driving the other vehicle, the same Rich Trotti who almost took 1/2 of us to Chicago 2 hours before a show because he took the wrong turn coming back from our excursion to the St. Louis Arch, no-not even that led us to believe we couldn't �get there from here.� But we couldn�t.

Oh, we tried. I don�t know exactly where the 1st mistake happened, but Leslie kept saying that this didn�t look familiar. In a few moments, we found that our 2 vehicles had driven throughout all of Belleville (it�s not that hard to do) and we missed the Denny�s. So we doubled back. And still couldn�t find Denny�s nor the other 2 cars of our caravan.

I don�t know what the highlight was of the whole excursion. Maybe it was the fact that we stopped at the same Am/Pm (twice) asking for directions and deciding as a group that we shouldn�t try it a 3rd time because either something was wrong with how the directions were given to us or how they were given, but either way it was too embarrassing to stop a 3rd time.

Or maybe the highlight was Rich taking command of our expeditionary force and leading us across the Mississippi into Missouri and then doubling back to lead us to what can be best described as a �no-tell motel� in East St. Louis to ask for directions. I�ll never forget, sitting in the back of the car, realizing where we were, in what city we were, in what kind of place we were, at the time of night it was, with the kind of employees standing around that were: and no, their directions didn�t work either. And then Jen kept saying that if her dad were here that we wouldn't be lost and we�d be eating by now. I have since met Mike and believe he would have been a much better candidate to lead us to food and relaxation in safe and timely manner. But then we would have never been in East St. Louis asking for directions in the parking lot of a �no-tell motel� in the middle of the night.

Maybe the highlight was driving through a dark, forested highway for several silent moments, all of a sudden to have the silence broken by our ultra-cool lighting designer exclaiming: �Dude! We are so not near stuff!�

And he was right. We could not stop laughing. All we could find were the highway and trees. The profound humor of James� comment may not resonate with anyone who wasn�t in that car that night, but to the 5 of us, it was quite probably one of the funniest moments of our lives. That assessment could also be due to the fact that we were lost, hungry, exhausted, and at that point on the road for about 2 hours.

Another candidate for highlight could be Leslie moaning, �All I want is a little bowl of ice cream.� So our gallant crew decided to forget Denny�s and the other 2 cars and just find the next open restaurant. We decided on the Steak & Shake.

It seemed logical enough. Leslie wanted ice cream and we could find that place. And so we pulled in. As we entered the restaurant we could see only a few people sitting in there and a few employees. The waitress asked what we wanted and I innocently asked for a chocolate malt. �I�m sorry,� she said, �but the ice cream machine is down for its weekly cleaning and won�t be able to serve ice cream for about an hour. It is the middle of the night you know.� We let her know we were roughly aware of the time. �So how about a Mr. Pibb?� I love Mr. Pibb, and it is on tap at many restaurants in that region of the country. I had had one in that Steak & Shake just the day before. �I�m sorry. The pop machine is being cleaned. It won�t be . . .� We asked what was available and explained our journey of discovery through the Illinois wilderness that led us to conclude that the Denny�s did not exist.

Just then, an elderly man in the corner of the Steak & Shake said, �Oh. That�s real close,� and he proceeded to give directions. The most coherent directions we had heard all night. The best set of directions our college trained minds had encountered! The odyssey was back on!

We leapt into our vehicles and followed the Steak & Shake sage�s advice. The fountain . . . a turn . . . then another turn . . . Leslie began exclaiming: �Now I know where we are! Now I know where we are!� We would have killed her had we not been so close to our destination. OK, we were actually laughing our heads off. But the timing of her memory could not have been more invaluable.

We pulled into the Denny�s and-lo and behold!- found our other half of the party done with dinner and waiting for us. After we explained that we had not ditched them but had truly been lost in the wilderness (we have gained new insights into how the Jews could�ve spent 40 years in the desert) we tried to recount our 3 hour tour of southern Illinois and Missouri. They then waited as we had a quick snack and we all headed back to the hotel for a nap before packing.

So many things went wrong. That�s what made it so fun. By all accounts, most people would choose the 5 minute trip to Denny�s instead of the 3 hour drive we took. We certainly would have. But then we wouldn�t have this memory. We may have had to wait until after 3:10 am to eat, but we had the funniest time being lost. And we weren�t really all that lost, I guess. We had each other. And a faint hope that maybe we could find Denny�s more easily after daybreak.

Somewhere among the souvenirs is a photo that we took in the hotel of the 5 of us that were in our car, recreating our positions using a love seat. The happy travelers after their adventure in and around Belleville. Probably the most fun either of us has had being lost, and we�re so thankful.

Jo and family,
I remember Jen from her substitute days and drama days at Phoenix Prep and her continued success in education after getting a full time job. She always had a smile and a personality that was so upbeat...she is truly an inspiration. I have been following the website and the entire extended family has been in my prayers. I repeatedly have a vision of Jen being held in the hands of the Father, much like we would hold a newborn. The pure love radiates in His eyes as He is looking at Jen. Only He knows the outcome but when it is time she will be going Home to paradise. My thoughts and prayers have been with you that He will give you peace and comfort during this time.

I'll never forget meeting Jen for the first time at her in-law's house, Steve and Sharon's. I've been friends with them for about 4 years and I was there helping them work on their new house. Jen was instrumental in getting me a job at the school at which her mom, Jo, is a Psychologist. Stan and one of his brothers and myself tried so diligently to get a huge carpet out of the back of Steve's truck. Our (Jen and myself)paths crossed again with "Come Before The Winter" and I also got to know her father, Mike, as well. Always a ray of sunshine, Jen is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ALL have been in my prayers!!!!!!!!!

Stan and Haran family,

We have been touched many times by your sweet Jen. Our daughter, Bonni, introduced us to her dear friend.

My first contact with Jen was by joining their book club! I felt awkward since all of the others were peers. Jen proceeded to announce that she had invited her mother; so, I should just enjoy and perhaps her mother would join us at some point. Jen had selected "Goddesses in Everywoman - A New Psychology of Women". Their club meets after everyone has read the book at the home of the member who chose the book. Jen graciously had everyone to her home for the discussion and a theme dinner. I complimented Jen on her bold bravery...she made a Greek meal - all dishes she had never made before and quite delicious. What an inspiration to us all.

During the following months we enjoyed her company and intellect at the book club review/events! Jen has a talent to make everyone at the table take a look at things from quite a different perspective. I was honored to have been a part of these intellectual debates as well as being exposed to a younger generation's viewpoint. Believe me this group of young women speak openly about any and every subject; namely, sex, parents, current events, food, secular employment/careers, clothes, social issues, church/synogogue and peers to name a few.

Jen has such a generous spirit. When my husband's dear friend (mother substitute) passed away, a huge, beautiful bouquet of flowers arrived from Stan and Jen. We were truly touched by their display of compassion.

Jen last chose "The Da Vinci Code" for us all to read. She had planned something "special" for her review/dinner party! She made certain all significant others were invited as well, since Stan had read the book. The last time I saw Jen, she was making sure exactly how many would attend her "event". I continue to wonder what she had in store for us.

Jen and I shared our birthday celebrations at the last book club meeting at Bonni's home. We also discussed at length "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". I must say, these ladies select books I would not read otherwise!

We are thankful our Bonni has the distinct pleasure of Jen's friendship and commraderie. These two women share many attributes. Each quite unique in their own right and obviously delighted in one another's company.

Know that your Jen touches many. With ever fond thoughts of Jen,

I started working with Jennifer in September of 2002 when we were both on the SRT team. We built a friendship through e-mails and phone calls and had not met in person until the day that I picked her up at the airport here in October and first saw her smiling face. She was so excited about coming here, and she e-mailed me about squirrels and Halloween and blamed Bill Gates for the cold weather. She wanted to go shopping for fur, but very specific fur. She said, "No kittens or puppies. Only nasty minks or badgers or something with sharp gnashing teeth!" She wanted a fur hat so she could look like a Russian princess! There were so many things that she said that made me laugh. We had some great talks, dinners, and shopping experiences. Most importantly, she was always loving and supportive. I remember being pretty unhappy on my 30th birthday in October, but Jen was there with a smile. We went out that night and she made it memorable. Jen is a beautiful and exceptionally special person. I have never known anyone as happy and hysterically funny. My life has been enriched from having known her and I will keep her in my heart. Stan, Mr. and Mrs. Haran, and Abby, I will keep all of you in my thoughts and continue to pray for a miracle. Jen, you are loved.

I have signed several times, but wanted to again. I work in the collections department at Insight. When Jen was in sales, I handled all of her accounts and we spoke on a very regular basis. I was planning my wedding at the time and she was always there with a word of advice or an idea for a vendor. We almost always had a giggle. When my now husband was in sales he remarked on her incredible personality and life.
I don't think I've ever met a more vibrant person than Jennifer. I pray for her every day, as well as for all of you. My heart goes out to you all.

I REMEMBER THE CAST MEETING AT AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT FOR DINNER BEFORE REHEARSALS AT HARRAH'S AND JEN TELLING SOME FUNNY STORIES ABOUT PREVIOUS ACTING JOBS THAT SHE HAD. I WAS SADDENED (AND ANGRY) WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. I'M AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE WRITTEN WHO KNEW JEN. SHE TRULY TOUCHED ALOT OF LIVES. I'LL KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS.

My mom sent me this site and I check it regularly to see how Jen is doing. I met you all at Matt and Vanny's wedding a few years ago, and I have fond memories of Jen, Abby, and I dancing up a storm. We all hit it off and had so much fun that night. Although, I did not meet Stan, I remember that she was engaged and planning her own wedding to a nice guy named Stan.

I can't even imagine all the pain, decisions, hope, and sorrow that you are all enduring. I keep Jen and you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care, Sophie

I truly am saddened by the news you have been given and I continue to pray that you will receive the miracle everyone is praying for. I wish I had something more to share with you, unfortunately I never got to know Jen - I saw her in our various hallways and the lunchroom and from what I do remember she always looked happy. I wish I had gotten to know her for she seems to be a very nice and generous person. You are all still in my thoughts and prayers and I feel for what you are going thru for I too have been there myself.
May the lord's loving hand be holding yours and comforting you always. God bless

Dear Stan, Abby, Mr Haran & Mrs. Haran,

Stan may not remember me. I think we only met once or twice, but I'm pretty sure Abby, Mr. Haran and Mrs. Haran might.

I went to high school with Jenn. He hung out all the time at Dobson. She was one of my first duo-acting partners on the Speech & Debate team. We went to one of the tournaments together and placed in the finals doing Neil Simon's "The Prisoner of 2nd Avenue". I think the reason why we did so well with that piece is because we had such a great time together being silly. The way she would cry in that scene would make me laugh uproariously. We would be in a competition round doing the scene and couldn't contain ourselves, always on the verge of cracking up.

One of my fondest memories of Jenn comes from when we were hanging around in the drama classroom at lunch. She had just finished her lunch and I probably made some smart-aleck comment about something to which she responded with a look at me and then mock-threatened me with her fork. One thing lead to another and then Jennifer was chasing me around the room and in fact the entire performing arts complex with her fork, all the while I'm screaming "Augh! Help! Help! Jennifer Fork Woman is after me! Augh!!!" We would laugh forever afterwards.

For the past years, we remained in touch. I would talk with her for hours on the phone while she was at Stephens. When she would come back in to town or later when she moved back and I would come back in to town, we would go hang out in the late evening at this little commerical business park in central phoenix that had this gorgeous little waterfall and stream. There we would talk forever about life's little dramas. She moved me in so many ways.

Her friendship is so important to me. I was very awkward and not very confident for a large part of my life. Her friendship and the joy we experienced being in each other's company allowed me to relax and enjoy being who I am.

She is a beautiful person and will be forever in my heart.

I wish you all the best in this insane time and please know that you are in my heart as well.

Much Love Always!

I came on board at Insight in January, and Jen was one of the first smiling faces I met. She gave me my orientation and told me about teaching drama and being in "Into the Woods".

Thank you, Mike and Jo, for giving the world a wonderful daughter. There are very few people who are unguarded and kind enough to make friends with anyone, and Jen is one of those special people.

I had the honor and pleasure of having Jen work on my team when I was a Manager in the Premier Division at Insight. Every day- Jen brought her smile and upbeat attitude to our team. She truly was in inspiration! More importantly , however, Jen and I forged a friendship bond that continued through my move back to NJ. My father was very ill and Jen was a great support system for me during this difficult time. Numerous times, she would call or email just to see how I was hanging in. When my father finally passed- she and Stan sent the most beautiful plant arrangement- and of course a touching note- I was back in Tempe in January and although we tried to connect, our schedules did not permit us to see eachother.. a decision I will regret forever. Jen- you are a beautiful person and I will continue to pray for a miracle.

Dear Jenn and Family,
While I do not know you, I am your sister in Christ, and I am praying for you during this difficult time.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock."
Psalm 27:1,3-5

Dear Stan, Jo, Mike and Abby,
We continue to check this site daily and think of you all 1,000 times a day.
Mike and Jo - do you remember that Dave and I were regular babysitters for Jen that summer of '73? You were living in that house right off Broad Street in German Village. We loved getting out of the dorms and "playing house" at your house - that included dressing Jennifer in every cute outfit she had and walking her in her stroller and putting her little baby hair up on top of her head like Pebbles Flintstone. Absolutely adorable! One August evening, Dave was sitting on your front steps reading the Dispatch and I was on the sofa giving Jen her bottle. Sudddenly - a giant roar came out of nowhere and Dave came flying into the house all buggyeyed, hollering "TORNADO on Broad St.!!" He grabbed Jen, me, her bottle, a diaper (smart guy) and a flashlight and we huddled in your basement until the roaring went away. I remember how we wrapped our bodies around Jennifer so that if anything came flying, it would hit us and not that sweet child.
After things settled down, we peeked outside and discovered that a house in your neighborhood and had leveled by the tornado and we marveled at the randomness of it all. Being parents ourselves now, we better understand that instinct to wrap yourself around your child and keep her safe from harm. We got the chance with Jen that one time - you and Mike have done it all of her life, and now God has taken her into his infinite care. We really are grieving for all of you and hope that these memories will give you some comfort.
love, Lynn and Dave
PS We also remember some Tom and Jerrys at your house on Amazon, but the girls were asleep!

I just found out about the site. I have been praying for Jen and her family ever since I heard what happened. Every time I try to remember Jen I have visions of hanging out at Denny's with Goyette. She made the BEST posters for S+D. Quite frankly, she was one of the funniest people in my life.

Lindenhurst, NY USA - Tuesday, April 13, 2004 7:37 AM CDT

I know Jen through Abby, whom Annie has been friends with since we moved to AZ in '87.
What I remember most about Jen is seeing her at St. Tim's singing at 12:30pm mass on Sundays. One day Annie said, "That's Abby's sister Jen!", and ever since, I'd look for her in the choir. Jen's voice is beautiful: strong and clear and velvety! You could tell she's a music lover 'cause she would dance as she sang! She made my time of prayer and worship even more precious by using her talent. Even though she didn't know it, I felt connected to her through Abby. God bless all of you, and thank you for the gift of her life, which has enriched mine.

I have just read your most recent entry and I am saddened by it. It seems just a few weeks ago that Jen was at Dobson High performing in "Guys and Dolls", and all of the times when she was hamming it up and spreading her special cheer. No matter what happens, I will continue to smile every time I think of her, especially during those special occasions and I thank you for inviting me whenever she had a choral concert or other activity. I don't remember ever seeing her when she wasn't smiling -- such a rare and special person emanating warmth and giggles. I will continue to pray for the best that God can give to all of you and everyone that knows Jen. And I will continue to believe that a miracle could lay around the next corner.
Love,
Joanie

Every day I read the journal entries, and like everyone else, hope for a miracle. I now realize the true miracle is the lives Jen has touched in so many ways. Audra and Jen have been friends since 8th grade. They have gone through school, careers, dating, travelling abroad, and their respective marriages, always managing to stay in touch. They had planned to meet for lunch shortly before the accident. Jen and Audra had a rich friendship fulled with laughter, love and mutual respect. Audra said Jen saw every adversity in life as a new challenge to conquer. Jen is an inspiration to us all. We are all better people for knowing her.

I have so many stories that I could share from my time in Jobs Daughters with Jen. Maybe I'll get them together and send them on to Jo. Outside of Job's, I ran into Jen once or twice at karaoke. Everyone always commented on her beautiful voice. My favorite song to hear her sing was always "Otto Titsling" from Beaches. I swear that no one could have ever done a better job singing that song. Jen even had little motions and facial expressions for the song. She truely is an entertainer in every sense of the word.

Phoenix, AZ - Monday, April 12, 2004 6:59 PM CDT

I will always remember how effortlessly Jen used her angelic voice to float up to the very high A (?) during the "Star Spangled Banner" at the company rallye. The only other time I heard it performed that well was on an old album by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I had the opportunity to thank her. I will always keep her shining face in my most warm memories. We served on the ERT together and I will also remember her ever-present and brilliant humor.

I only met Jen Briefly, but her vivacious personality made me want to know her better because she made me laugh. My daughter Krys Peck knew the same kids that she knew because of her Dramatics and singing background. I was so saddened to hear of her tragic accident. I pray that she will recover and continue to brighten this world as she does so well. God Bless you.

Hi Jen ~ just wanted to let you know that you are still in my thoughts & prayers. You've always had the will to hang in there...and you're proving that to all of us now! You are a very special young woman and we definitely need you to be with us.

Jo, Mike, Abby & Stan ~ please know that I am thinking of each of you in so many different ways. Jo ~ always sensitive & caring for others (shows where your daughters got these traits from); Mike ~ as a knowledgable, admirable man; Abby ~ a younger version of Jen ~ well, somewhat that is; and Stan ~ as the young man that Jen loves very, very much.

If any of you need anything or someone to talk with...I'm just a call away.

We continuely have Jen in our prayers. She graduated with our son Todd Lemieux and was known by all of our children,.
Kyle, Brendan and Margot and Justin. Because of Speach and Debate. We would talk with her after Mass or at different times at church. She would catch up with the boys when they would come home from college and she would love to take them to the casino's. I don't think they ever won much.... We will continue to pray for your family. We live just a few houses down so let us know when and if we can do something for you. Dinner whatever you need. So you can spend more time with Jen. Cynthia and Peter Lemieux 480-507-7868.

I was so saddened to hear of your tragic situation. I wish it were not so and hope for a steady recovery. I know you will follow your heart.
You're and extraordinary lady and if anyone can, you will.
You have a lot to fight for Jen, and your wonderful loving & supportive family is top on the list, so you go girl! Fight! Remember, you wanted to meet the two Russian children I adopted from Kazahkstan.

Jen,

Hey there lady I just heard! I am so terribly sorry for what has happened. If I had to say one person that is always full of life - it would be you. When we worked together with "Joey and Maria's Wedding" I have found memories of you as Nikki and how you would always "cry" during the wedding ceremony and interject the line "I LOVE TOMATOES"... Most people reading this might not understand - but I know you do. You would always make me laugh! I can remember back to the first night I joined the cast and I was in awe of you and your talents. I remember coming home and telling Michael how amazing I thought you were and how I wished for your improv abilities. Then when we did the "Sopranos" I was in awe of you once again - not only for your talents - but for your courage. You showed amazing courage for your role in that play and always carried yourself with respect.

I wish I had a crystal ball to know the outcome of this - but I do know that a person so full of life with always carry with that with them. I hope and pray for your speedy recovery and that it is a quick and easy one. And if God decides that it's your time, I pray that he recognize all of your talents and give you a place on center stage in heaven as I know that your talents could keep the angels entertained for decades!

So Ciao Bella - just for now! And no matter what happens I know we'll meet again! But please get better soon as I'd rather our meeting be in this lifetime rather than the next!

:-) Alison (aka Maria)

Stan and the rest of the family,

Our thoughts and prayer are with you during this time. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do now or in the future (we cook some mean pasta dishes - so your wish is our command!) Let her know we're thinking of her and wish for a speedy recovery! Her fate is in God's hands - but that doesn't mean that she can't fight like hell! And she is a fighter so if anyone can overcome this - it's her!

-Alison and Michael

I just heard about Jennifer from Melanie and want you to know that you will all be in my prayers. I can remember the fun we had when we were all active in Job's Daughters. I find it hard to believe that God would want to take Jennifer home when I'm sure she has not finished her job here on earth. She has so much to offer. Take care.

Jen, Stan, the Haran's and the Wilbur's.
during this time there is so much to say and so few words. It goes without saying that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. The decisions and roads that lay ahead will be so trying. Jen has always been a source of laughter and light to many and her strength as well as the strength you all have given her an inspiration. I hope all the love you share as well as the love we all have for Jen will be a source of comfort for you.

To the Haran and Wilbur families~
I have always been able to look back on my memories of my time in Job's Daughters fondly in regards to Jen. She is such a talented, caring, intelligent, beautiful woman. I know that her time on earth has been short, but never doubt that she has touched many people through the years, and she will always be remembered with a bright smile, and a full heart. I know that the decisions you will be faced with are trying, but God will be with you as you walk down this difficult road. If it is Jen's time to be called to Heaven, she will look down on you from above with the spirit and voice of an angel. May God be with you all in this very difficult time.

Jen,
You always turned what was completely terrifying for me (improv on stage!) in to a fun experience. I almost forgot I was supposed to be acting. I always knew that if I was messing up my lines, I could look over at you and your confident smile and wink got me back on track. If I could make it through three hours of pretending I was an a newly married italian mob daughter, I know you, of all people, can pull through. Thanks for always being there when I needed it most. You're work isn't done -- a legion of fledlging actors and actresses need you!

Mike and family, M. Dale asked us to keep a family in our prayers Monday morning at mass. When I got home I found an email from one of my last year confirmation kids. I was surprised to hear that I was praying for your daughter. I have only met with you once regarding escrip for the academy and I enjoyed our visit. My patron sanit is St. Genevive, she believed in the power of prayer and that is what I have been doing. I know that God has a plan for all of us. Sometimes it is hard to understand what that is. I ask the Holy Spirit to send you the wisdom you need at this difficult time. Your family is in my prayers. God Bless!!!

Dear Stan, Jo, Mike and Abby: I have just read the most recent update and am very sad about the news from the doctors. However, I continue to pray and to steadfastly refuse to believe that you will lose her. Please keep remembering that doctors have been wrong before and miracles do happen. I am praying for a miracle and that Jen will fight to come back. I know how sad and frustrated you all must be and that in the face of the stark announcements from the doctors it is harder than ever to keep up hope, so you must all turn off their words in your head and keep praying to God to spare her, for that miracle and that she will fight hard, as we your caring friends will continue to do.

Dear Jen and Family- As I read through the many names from Insight that have signed this book, it has reminded me of how special you are. While my contact with you was limited to a few times, those times were memorable. You inspire your coworkers, and I admire your passion and sense of humor that you have shared at Insight. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I don't doubt the strength you have to get through this difficult time.

Hi my name is Tammy Ruminski(Daley). I'm a PHQ from Bethel #13. I'm not exactly sure what to say, but I had you all in my thoughts and prayers the minute I learned of this terrible accident. I even did a prayer circle to my friends and family via e-mail. There are people who have prayed all over the world for her. As far as Belgium which is where my uncle resides. I know news wasn't good for you today but god can work miracles, we see it everyday. My heart, prayers and thoughts will remain with you. God Bless each and every one of you.

Dear Stan, Jo, Mike and Abby,

Wow...what do you say? All I can say is that I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. This was not what I'm sure anyone wanted to hear, especially since I can still hear in my head the last conversation we had - which of course was about Job's Daughters and the upcoming pageant. You could remind my dear friend Jennifer that she promised to help me write a book about pageant...and that I expect her to keep up her end of the deal!

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I know that long ago, Jennifer learned the lessons of Job, so please have patience, most of all have faith, and we will get our reward.

With love,

Dear Jennifer and Family,
My name is Laura Jean Curley and I am a PHQ and PBG from Bethel #7. I have been praying for you since I heard of your accident from Shannon Snell. I just read today's entry and I know the doctors did not bring light to your life today. However, I want you to know that I have been down this road with 3 other people that had severe brain injuries and all three of them are still here today. One was a teacher at my school and everyone said there was no way she could recover. The last I heard, she is still teaching today. The Lord can do amazing things through prayer. I have read the guest book and it is my guess that you belong to St. Tim's. This community has performed so many amazing miracles including that of the teacher I referred to. I will continue to pray for His light and angels to surround Jennifer and all the family. The Lenten season has proven to be miraculous before. I am going to keep the hope that Our Lord and Our Lady are going to prove those doctors wrong.
God Bless and Jobie Love,
Laura Jean

Jen, I love you! I know that we shouldn't think about what could have been but I want you to know that I regret not getting together with you in January. I know we can't control the past or even our present. I just hope that you are at peace and know how much your family and friends love you.

To my friend Jen: I apologize for losing touch so easily. I have always found myself thinking of you, even before your accident. It is hard for me to NOT think of you and pray for a healthy recovery. You are the brightest light that I know. PLEASE come back! You are dearly missed, and I believe I owe you an update on where I am and How I am doing! SO BELOVED, AND SO MISSED!

Dear Haran family,

I recently learned of Jenn's accident and wanted to let you know my prayers are with you. Tell Jenn that we need her to sign autographs again, like she did at the races. Our booth sold more programs that season. I'm not sure if people believed Jenn was a member of the royal family or because they wanted to buy a program to quiet Jenn down.

I truly believe that God is holding Jenn in his arms and giving her all the help she needs.

All my love & prayers

Jo and Mike,

We just received a call from Colleen about the latest update of Jen opening one eye!!! Praise God!! I just had to stop and write this before I could do anything else. I prayed at the tent revival last night that she would open her eyes soon that the angels would whisper in her ear it's time to wake up. It sounds like the angel came in the shape of a nurse.
The power of prayer is so awesome!

See you tonight.

Dear Jen, Mike, Jo, Abbey, and Stan:
I just returned from Medjugorje and all of you were in my daily prayers. I offered my Mass for Jen and her complete healing. I know this will happen as she is surrounded with so much love and so many prayers.
The medals I gave you were with me during Mirjana's apparition on March 18th. They were blessed by Our Lady and also a priest. Touch Jen with them as you pray with her.
Know that I witnessed so many miracles while I was there and returned to more. My own brothers 2nd brain tumor surgery was cancelled due to the doctor "misreading" the tests. We know better. It was the power of prayer. That just happened 2 days ago upon my return.
Continued prayers.

To Jen, Stan, Mike, Jo and family -- Ken and I have you all in our prayers daily. It wasn't long ago that an employee and close friend of our went through your same experience with their 17 year old daughter. It took 5 months before she opened her eyes, but her recovery has been amazing. Your daily journal entries are taking us back on that same road. We know what you're experiencing. But we also have no doubt that Jen will also awaken, recover and thrive. Prayer makes all things possible. Never stop praying and hoping. She's very special and is in God's hands until He knows she's ready to understand the road that lies ahead.
God Bless -- Diane and Ken Skotak

The Lord�s my Shepherd, I�ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for His own Name�s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death�s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff my comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnish�d
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God�s house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

God Bless Jen, loking forward to laughing with you again

Or telling me that I'm so pretty because I couldn't grasp the concept of BINGO. That is the fun loving Jennifer that I have known almost my entire life. I say a prayer for you before I go to sleep every night. And I look forward to hearing your lafter and funny stories soon.

Jen and Family,

I have been praying every day for the last three weeks since I found out about this accident. Jen has been a great blessing to my life and I know that she will continue to be. I can't imagine how difficult this is for all of you or how the healing process will be when she comes out of the coma. I will continue to pray--it's all I can do. Thank God He is strong enough that it's the best thing I can do, too.

Lord,
Please bring Jen out of this coma, speed her healing and let her miracle be a reflection of your light to anyone who sees it. We know that you have the power to give her a complete recovery, and trust that your miracles occur every day. Flood her family with unspeakable hope and mercy. As you have used Jen to be a blessing to so many people, continue to use her. And comfort Stan in unexpected ways, please.

For your Glory.

Jennifer ~ I have been reading the entries posted by your father daily. When you're able to read it, you will see & feel the strength, as well as the pain it took for him to write it. It shows how much your family loves & awaits your return. God is definitely watching over you. Reminds me of some of the inspirational songs the Bethels have performed over these past several years. I truly feel blessed to have met you way back in the 80's and know that I am praying for your recovery. You're a beautiful young woman & have so much to give to all of us.

As soon as you're up, let's come out...I can't bear to miss another moment of your friendship!

We pray for His knowledge to be given those who are taking care of her, His peace on your hearts and minds. We boldly ask our "Abba" Father to gently hold her in His lap, and comfort her as an earthly Father would. He is our Abba, our Father; holding her, comforting her and healing her. We know that when He sends her back to us she will be yet another exquisite miracle from Him. Please know that there are Prayer Warriors fighting on her behalf.

An Irish blessing for you all. Although originally written for a sea crossing, this seems apt for any of life's deep challenges:: "Going over the deep place, O God of patience, take them by the hand in case of a blow from a strong wave. O Mary, look out for them and don't leave them." God has your hands and Mary is looking out for you. Love, Vickie.

We are continuing to keep Jen in our prayers and positive thoughts going her way. We are also praying for all of you to not give up hope or let each day's events get you down because it is through your strength and the strength and loving of Jesus Christ that you will get through to her and bring her back. I truly feel in my heart she will be back. She's off on a very unusual adventure right now and, perhaps, it's too enjoyable to give up until that moment when subconsciousness or consciousness suddenly strike her and remind her that there are those who wait for her. God Bless to all of you. We will not stop praying for all of you. Love, Joanie McKenzie (and roommate).

Father, I ask you to bless The Wilbur/Haran family reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over their life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.

I don't know the Wilbur/Haran family but heard through a friend about Jen's condition and wanted to send my prayer and maybe a little comfort to the families.

God Bless,

Thanks so much for putting up this site! As you can see, Jen sure touches people. I had the pleasure of being one of her fellow trainers during the recent large project at Insight. My family and I also enjoyed her recent performance in "The Music Man."

God has a plan for each of us, one that only He fully understands. All we know is that He is to be glorified through this plan. I pray daily for God's peace to be with your collective family, and that God's will includes complete recovery for Jen.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance.

Jen, You are such an amazing person, and I will always be grateful for the encouragement you gave me when I started at Insight. As a former health health care professional, who worked with many Traumatic Brain Injuries, I have seen so many miracles, and I pray for one of those miracles for you and your family. You are all in my prayers daily, and I will do anything I can to assist all of you when you are ready. I'll always remember something that you told me. You said, "We should always set our goals high in life...and know that once in a while, a curve is thrown our way and we have to change our plan. When that happens we need to be as positive as possible and find a new plan that will make our life even better." Jen, you are one of the most positive people that know, and even with this "detour" in your plans, you are still touching the lives of the multitudes of people who care so deeply about you. May God be with you all.

Jen and her family have been in my thoughts and prayers in a special way, as I work in neurological rehabilitation. I have had the priviledge of working with many individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, like Jen, and with their families, too; I pray that you would have tremedous faith and hope, for although the journey is painstakingly long and difficult, I have witnessed miraculous outcomes. You truly share in suffering felt from the cross of Christ; may you know the healing that comes from it, as well.

"A Prayer for Healing" by Carrie Kinyon
I thought of you this morning, and I said a little prayer
That every minute of your day, you'd feel His presence there.
I asked God for a miracle, your good health to restore
I believe He'll do it, and give you much, much more.
Remember how Job suffered, and when all he had was gone
God restored back everything, and more than he'd ever owned.
There's no respect of persons, with this mighty God we love
He'll open the window's of Heaven, and rain blessings from above.
Then one glad day you'll look back, on this time of trials and woe
And see God's hand of mercy, as He wonderfully made you whole.

~You are all in my thoughts, and I know that with time, God will heal Jennifer~

Dear Stan, Mr. Mike, Mrs. Haran and Abby...

Putting up this website online was a brilliant idea!!! Many of us over the Canadian Border are concerned about Jen's condition, so it's really nice to be able to access information on her status without invading your space!!! Thank you for thinking of the many who love and have genuine concern for 'our girl' Jen.

I realize that there are truly no words that can remove the feeling of helplessness and loss that you all must be experiencing. However, I know that God never gives us more than we can bear! Just remember He is always there in your time of need to strengthen you, so keep the faith!!!

I encourage you to continue believing God for the impossible, because I know that Jen's work here on earth is far from over!!! He is a miracle working God of possibilities!!! So you MUST continue to BELIEVE Jen has received her healing, even when it doesn't appear so. It's your faith that will move this mountain!!!

JUST BELIEVE!!! ;)

May God continue to bless and keep you all in His Infinite care...You are in my prayers!!!

I send you all an ocean full of hugs, with a kiss on each wave!!! (Extra kisses & gentle hugs for Jen...)

Much love,
Stephanie James <stephaniempjames@yahoo.com>

Mike, Jo, and Jenny: "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Trial, or distress, or persecution, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword? As Scripture says, 'For your sake we are being slain all day long; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.' Yet in all this we are more than conquerors because of him who has loved us. For I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor powers, neither height nor depth nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus, our Lord." Rom. 8:35-39
