to jennifer with love...

just received an email from a wonderful woman judy that i met years ago in choir...
on the one hand...i am touched that in all that she is going through...she took the time to send me the email...knowing i would want to know...but on the other hand...such sad news...

i met her daughter jennifer when i was teaching kid's kingdom children's choir...jennifer had brought her daughter to choir...i instantly connected with the child hayley...and hayley connected with me...we would always joke how i was the second mother...there was also a strong connection between jennifer & i...every conversation was filled with laughter...

hayley loves to sing...it was very apparent in choir...

jennifer has been sick for a very very long time...she past away yesterday...leaving three children...

hayley had promised her mom that she would sing steven curtis chapman's song "cinderella" at the memorial service...she sang it yesterday for the hospice social worker, the chaplain & the family...her grandmother says it was beautiful...without being there...i know it was...

rest in peace sweet jennifer...you will be missed...

"death leaves a heartache no one can heal...love leaves a memory no one can steal"
