many memories of Jenna in my home. to mention just one would seem small. Those captivating blue eyes!!Her silly grin, her free spiritedness, her natural kindness to her playmates...always happy to share her toys, her intense enjoyment of storytime and showntell, and her exquisite artistic ability at such a young age...no picture was finished until every inch of her page wass coverd in color(just try to take her away from it before she was done!) Wishes for peace now Yvonne, Craig and Aidan. Know that Jenna is now in your hearts as your family carries onwards

I have a memory of Jenna's beautiful smile and goofy fun with her dad when she visited me. She was so happy to pick flowers for her mother. I am glad I had a chance to meet her. God bless Jenna.

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

In the midst of sorrow, Chris and I are so grateful for many wonderful memories of our times with Jenna and her loving family, Craig, Yvonne and Aidan. We can't think of a more fitting tribute than to create and add to a playground in recognition of Jenna who loved school and to run, jump and play. She also loved to listen to stories, pretend and laugh at the silliest of jokes. She was also very brave. We will miss her sorely. Always in our hearts. Jeanie and Chris.

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

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