This is the hardest news I've ever delivered here. I am in a state of shock and denial.
I hope that I'm not out of line for speaking for Jennie, but we just received word from her daughter that Jennie has passed away this evening.
Apparently, there were many brain mets and this led to complications and her subsequent passing.
I've know Jenny for several years now...she's one of my dearest friends. A couple of years ago, she and I went to see Eric38 in the last week of his life and we shared that moment together with him - members of the Class of 2009.
And now, another one of my friends has been taken from me - from us - from her family. And she was a bright light - she was my crazy Jenny.
One of my favorite memories was CP9 in Fort Worth - we had margaritas on the patio at a place called The Cabo...just laughing and living life together.
She always saw me when she came to town - we were supposed to see each other this 25th when she got here for the Cowboy game.
I'm sad I've lost my friend...I'm sad for all of us who knew are. I was just fortunate to spend face time with her and we talked on the phone...I could usually get her to laugh and I used to like to hear her laugh - I can hear her now when I close my eyes.
We've all been worried about her - I think we all knew something was wrong - you know, Jennie...when something was amiss, she'd shout it from the rooftops and you could be certain we'd know about it:)
LOL! (Jennie would want me to make her laugh and remember her fun side) - :-)
I miss you, Jennie...I got too close again - but the memories of you I will hold for a lifetime - and I wouldn't have traded one second of time I spent with you and your daughters and brother for anything - they were special times I will forever treasure.
P.S. Please tell Eric and My Chicky howdy and you guys keep a light on for me!
Forever your friend,
-Craig

Such very sad news
Dear Craig,
Thank you for letting us know, even though it is news we didn't want to get.
While I never got to meet her, everything you said shone thru in her postings.
I know she never ever let cancer get in her way of living life and making plans for the future.
God has called another angel home.
If you talk with the family again, please let them know there are lots of folks here who called her friend and will miss her terribly.

I'll tell them to come and view the post so they can read the responses and draw comfort from the lives that she touched.

RIP
Oh no Craig, thank you for sharing this news. Getting to close can be a double edged sword, but you touched her life just as she touched yours, that is worth any pain. But I am sorry for you and her family. It is hard not to feel such anger towards cancer at times like this.
We will miss you Jennie, please say hello to my mom

Wow, there are no words.
Wow, there are no words. Very sorry for the family's loss as well as this community. Jennie was a treasure on here and will be forever missed. Why is it still such a shock when we hear this type of news. No matter how many dear people on here pass I keep thinking there are more people who beat it than not. But I think I need reassurance... This is truly saddening.0 -

Craig, Thank you for letting us know, this makes me so sad, I thought she would make it. Lori

My heart is broken. Rest in peace dear, sweet Jennie...0 -
Ver sad to read this news about Jennie
and very grateful that you let us know Craig. There's been several folks I've met face to face from the board, and now cherish my memories of them. Jennie is now one of them. I have her picture on my fridge after we took the ride on the ferris wheel at CP-9 in Chicago . Had a good time that afternoon in her company. Damn, this is hard losing friends this way.
Love and blessings to all here and to her family. She will be missed.

I will never understand how this cancer crap works,my mother diagnosed 6 years ago stage III rectal tumor, never did ANYTHING after original surgery and is still here, not doing real well at the moment with brain and lung mets, but still here at 79,now Jennie who fought so hard is gone, makes me angry at the unfairness of this disease and I guess just life in general0 -

I just finished a reply to Beth before I saw your post. In it, we mentioned Jennie. She had plans to meet up with Jennie, as did you and JBG.
This has made me so very sad. I also had a bad feeling when she didn't respond to us.
Although we never met in person, she was a warm, caring, funny lady. She and Winter and I called ourselves the ditzy blondes. I will miss her so. She told it like it is.
To her family, please know she made my day a little brighter when she spoke. Just to see her kindness, courage, and determination. I will never forget her.
Another bright star is shining up there. Just look for the one with the a$$ kickin' boots on.
Luv,

Our sweet Jennie (idlehunter). Thanks Craig for the lovely tribute.
We will miss her posts and lovely smile.
I just come back from 2 funerals and one memorial. I finally put the ashes of my husband to rest. Still emotional even after 5 years since his death.
I did not expect to hear this news about Jennie.
Rest Jennie and smile down to us, another star in the universe for me to look up to at night.0 -
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
