Many years ago I graduated high school and left for the Marines. I basically never looked back to Washington. Yesterday was one of those few reflective times and the news I found was very sad. Jennifer and I had a quiet friendship, most probably did not know we were friends throughout high school, never more, just good friends. I am so sorry for the loss I can only imagine her family must feel. I lost someone last year and it has yet to ease, my thoughts are with the Lawson's and Jennifer's son.

Dear Kitty...I'm so sorry about this. I dated Jennifer before I joined the Air Force and she sent me lots of cards and letters when I was in England..that was 1989. I remember meeting you and Jim at your house and how comfortable everything was. I think about Jennifer a lot and I just happened to stumble across this obituary...needless-to-say, I'm shocked. She was a beautiful, fun, friendly person. I miss her! Also, once, she had a pizza delivered to your home when I was there and she had ILLINOIS spelled out in peperoni....it was so sweet. I'm sorry for your loss...she was a great gal. Brian Montgomery (originally Lawrenceville, IL)

Dear Kitty and Jim, I just learned from my mother about Jennifer's passing, my deepest sympathy to you and your grandson. I will always cherish our time together in Jobs Daughters. God Bless you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Kitty, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Jennifer so well from those summers I worked at Tasty Treats. We had a lot of fun working together. I will keep your family, and especially her son, in my prayers.

dear Kitty and Jim, so very sorry to hear about Jennifer. she was so young! Iwish there was something I could do to help you through this terrible time. Our prayers go out to you. If there is anything We can do please let us know. Much love to you both from Jeri and Richie Barchet.

Dear Kitty, I just learned of the death of your precious daughter Jennifer and was shocked and saddened. I wish this was a burden that no parent would have to endure. Please take comfort in your beautiful grandchild, your many friends, family, and in God's love. I will keep you in my prayers.
