    I cant stop crying
    Craig,

    WHY WHY WHY, I dont get it...I was just jumping up and down looking at my cowboy tickets and thinking about all of us getting together next Friday (my birthday). Donna died on my birthday 2 years ago this week. I am so F'ing MAD...its not fair....She was such a wonderful woman, person, a great mom....and the best friend ever....I love her so much....

    Jennie, my friend, I MISS YOU, I DONT WANT YOU TO BE GONE....I dont know what happened, you sounded fine the last time we talked, were you not telling me everything..you were always so upbeat and positive...God truly has an angel by his side now...I love you

    Beth

    I feel the same...
    Dear Beth, I am wrapping my arms around you.

    I don't get it either...it's just too much for me.

    Hugs, Kathi

    I will miss Jennie, She may not have known but she provided me with so much hope for my mum.I have read through our private messages and had a good cry for the woman so many loved.
    This is totally not fair!!!!!

    Oh, My, My, Jennie
    OMG. Shock. Had hoped that this third CyberKnife was going get you through the wedding and to buy another year. Yet we knew your missives were running late these last 2-3 weeks. Thank you for the special effort to say hi, and apparently bye, that one last time 5 short weeks ago in July. Your words and story stay with us.

    I'll always miss you here. The cheery repartee, guffaws, encouragement and varied pics. In my heart, you and your silver Camaro are zooming ahead, up the road in a higher gear. Godspeed, Jennie.

    Oh Jennie
    I have been coming on here everyday expecting one of Jennie's cheerful posts. I am so sad to read this. Jennie really helped me out these past few months as has Craig. My heart goes out to all who's lives Jennie touched.

    Dear Sweet Jennie...
    I am so sad to read this Craig. Thanks for sharing with us. I loved her sense of humor. What a great woman she was. Always a great attitude and a laugh. I'm definitely going to miss her. I remember seeing the pictures of Jennie, Eric and you. The biggest smiles I've seen.

    Jennie, love you gal!! Give our love to Eric, Donna, John, my brother, dad and who ever else you see... I'm going to miss you!

    She has been a stalwart here and even with the huge challenges she faced always brought humour, strungth and dignity to the board. She fought hard and helped many, including myself. She is a great example of how to live life and her presence here will be missed.

    It is part of the reality of this community that we all face a fragile mortality and her passing reminds us all that we must treasure every moment.

    Missing you, Jenny. From thousands of miles away from me and my family here in the UK you touched and affected us all. For that I will remember you.

    Jennie brought light
    To a really dark place. She was an example of how to fight this insipid disease with grace and good humor. My heart breaks for her family and for those of you here who knew her well.

    Lobe,

    I find it hard to express my feelings
    I am like Steve and Pete thousands of miles from most of you.Yet the net makes us friends and neighbours in a very special community. I feel a sense of despair and deep lonliness because I can't be there to say good bye or to comfort and be comforted by friends on occassions like this. Why do things like this happen so suddenly and without apparent warning. It's not as if many of us don't know our own situations but why can't our bodies be as invuerable as our spirit. I think I knew within a day or so of her admission to hospital that she may not make it.Farewell Jennie you left a deep impression on me ,one that I will treasure,Ron.

    When I first came on the board, she sent me a PM. Although Ive not been on here long, she made me feel like I'd been here forever and was part of the "family".

    Thank you, Craig for letting us know. My sympathies to her family and friends.

    Noooo-
    I am stunned to hear

    Noooo-
    I am stunned to hear this. I met Jennie at Chicago colon palooza and it doesn't take but a minute of knowing her that she is a fun, crazy wonderful person.

    Craig- Don't EVER regrest "getting too close" to a person. You risk losing out on wonderful people, memories, experiences and connections. I am so sorry, I know you were so close to Jennie.

    Jennie- raising a toast to you!

    Sad
    This is just such sad news. I've missed her on the boards but thought she was just dealing with some more pnemonia problems and thought they got all the tumors in the brain so I'm just shocked at this information. She was such a fighter and had spirit that would soar to the skys. She will be missed very much.
