Condolence: Jenn was one of my favourite ER nurses at CVH - so friendly, had such a warm smile, and a wicked sense of humour. Haven't seen her in a while, but tried to keep abreast of her animals and her goings on through Whitnie.
She was a special person, with a very warm heart, and will be dearly missed by all of us whose lives she touched.
Special prayers for you Jenn and for all your family and friends on this difficult day.

Condolence: Jennifer was our fun-loving neighbour who we were privileged to have known. We met her at a party close to home. She was on stage with the band playing a cowbell. Fearless and fun! She added spice to any event and made you laugh. She had a good heart and will be missed by so many.

Sincere condolences,

Nancy & Graham Underwood

Condolence: I'm so sorry to hear of Jenn's passing. My thoughts and love are with all her family and friends at this very sad time. I'd like to be there tomorrow for her funeral but will be there in spirit from Scotland. Jenn made Sam and I's Christmas even more special during our first trip to visit Lorna in Canada. I will remember a funny and warm lady - a friendly smile and fantastic sense of humour. Rest in peace sweetheart x Helen and Sam (Scotland)

Condolence: I did not know Jennifer well. She was someone I knew through mutual friends. But over the years, any time I ever did spend with her was always fun and full of laughter. She was a very friendly person with great pride in her work, her animals and she seemed to really love life. It's a life gone too soon, my condolences and deep sympathies to her family and friends.

Condolence: Krissy (my sister) and Jenn met in junior high and hit it off instantaneously. Fun fact: they were the only girls on an all boy football team at their school, but then again Jenn never went by the rules and always did inspirational things. Jenn was a wild child - so much fun and full of life. Krissy and Jenn were like one person, inseparable. Just like any teens, they did a few rebellious things (like I’m sure all teens do), like go to parties and stay out past curfew and I made sure that I let them know that I would be there for them and make sure they got home okay - I was only a phone call away. We had so many adventures with Jennifer over the past 30 years. We traveled to Cuba and NYC together, went camping, went to cottages, had weekend getaways, sleepovers, and I even attended U of T with her, she inspired me to go back to school. There was never a dull moment when hanging out with her and always great memories were made. Everywhere she went, she put a smile on peoples’ faces. She had a sense of humour that was second to none. Even though we didn’t see her as often as we would like in the past 10 years, when Krissy and I had our own families and kids, etc., we always kept in touch and got together every now and then and when we did, it was as if we were never apart. She was my sister Krissy’s very best friend and will always be the best friend she’s ever had - she has never had any other friendships like the one that she had with Jenn, and I can honestly say that she was one of my best friends as well and I considered her to be a little sister, I just wish I could have told her this again before she left us far too soon. She will forever be in our hearts and memories. She was a light in this world and will be missed. To the Williams family, may the happy memories you have replace the sadness in your hearts. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: It has been a number of years since we have seen Jenn. But we always felt like we knew where she was and and what she was doing through Laurie's updates. Sending Hugs and support to the family at this time.
Bill, Tracy, Ashley and Matthew.

Condolence: Jennifer was the first friendship I developed at Groves. We hit it off right away....
I had just returned to Canada and was starting all over again when my children both began to struggle with serious health issues AND I inherited my sisters two children, a teenager and a baby. Jennifer was my sounding board during those challenging times. She was compassionate and through our talks made me brave.
She was generous to a fault. She noted that I did not/was not able to spend much money on myself and never said anything to me directly about my appearance, but would just randomly show up to work every few months with a huge garbage bag full of clothes for me..."just some old things I was clearing out of my closet" she'd say. Except 75% of the items still had tags on them. Then there would be bags for my boys...then my daughter...and she would get quiet and awkward and brush me off if I made a big deal of thanking her.
She kept my family fed with more fresh eggs then I can count. She loved to cook and bake and would bring us treats at work all the time. She'd take me aside and whisper "make sure you take some home for the kids." She opened her home to us all summer so thè kids had a place to swim and play with the animals.
When the stresses of my life got me down and I felt broken, she came to my home and and gently kicked my butt! She'd made me get out of the house and do something nice for myself. She took me shopping. She brought her truck over and helped us move. She listened. and commiserated with me and helped me reintegrate back into the daily grind of emerg nursing. She would double check my charting etc until my confidence returned. I felt comfortable asking for her support because I never felt judged by her. We understood each other...the overwhelming sense of responsibility in our personal and professional lives. Striving to reach others' expectations
All the while dealing with personal health issues.
I sat with her and held her hand whenever I could, it was a privilege to be able to give back to a friend who had given so much to me and my family.
My kids and I are are devastated by Jenns loss, but I can only imagine how John must be feeling...
John, with you, Jenn was the happiest she's ever been! I am so thankful to you for bringing her so much joy and love. You were the love she waited for all her life.
My heart breaks for you and all of The family.

Condolence: My dearest Jenn. That glowing smile and perfect hair will be missed by many. Although we were distant in the last years, I did get the opportunity to share many of life's experiences with one of the most amazing, kindhearted individuals I have met. Even after Jenn arriving to Chuck E Cheese at 5pm on a Saturday for my son's birthday party, Jenn still came to visit me in the hospital when my daughter was born. I wished I had captured her face when she walked into Chuck E Cheese, it was priceless. She was surrounded by hundreds of snotty nosed kids, not her favorite place to be. She often thought my son should be the poster child for birth control. She is the only one that could say that without igniting my protective mother state. Despite her feelings she always showed up with the most thought about, coolest gifts come holiday time to show her love. Things only Jenn could do. I wish we had not drifted for so long. I hope you are at peace my friend.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Jenn's passing. My thoughts are with family, loved ones, friends, and of course coworkers at Groves Hospital. Jenn's intelligence and skill, her humour and her light, will be missed.

Condolence: Jen I am so saddened to hear about your passing! You were always so kind and were always so happy! I will miss seeing your smiling face! I hope you are at peace now and for always! Will think of you always!
