Dear Bostock family,
I was saddened to hear of Jennifer’s passing. In my memory is the consummate professional musician. I will forever cherish my memories of the "Old" New Holland Band and the many wonderful performances that we shared together.

Dear Bostock Family,
It saddens me to read that Mrs. Bostock has passed away. As one of her former clarinet students, she inspired me to practice and love the music that I learned and worked on with her. In fact, she was my first and only clarinet teacher, and I had learned from her for 7 years, from 5th through 12th grade. My fondest memories were playing duets with her during recitals and having her help me prepare for the district and regional band festivals throughout high school. Now as a recent college graduate starting my teaching career, I hope to be just as inspiring and full of passion for what I teach as she was with me and all of her other music students.
With deepest sympathy,
Jessica Armstrong
Dear family of Jen,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Jen’s passing. As her faithful customers at JC Penney, Jen always had a smile and was very dedicated to her customers satisfaction! Jen always spoke of her family as we shared our family stories together. We would sometimes pass up the catalog service until Jen was there just because we enjoyed speaking with her so much. We really miss seeing her smiling face and most of all, sharing our family stories. May God bless all of Jen’s family and friends. A true sweet person who will be missed very much!

Dear Paul,
I was so saddened and shocked to hear about Jennifer. We have been away much of the summer, and I didn’t even know she was ill. I know how much you will miss her as you two were so close. Although I didn’t know her well, I always appreciated her wry sense of humor and good nature. Previous commitments prevent me from expressing my condolences in person Wednesday, but know that my thoughts are with you and your children.
Sincerely,
Suzette Kneedler

The music teachers at Lancaster Country Day School were very upset to hear of Jennifer’s passing. She was always so strong in her fight against her cancer, very rarely missing a week of teaching. We all thought she might beat it again! I know that she was in a lot of pain and that must been hard to witness. She is now at peace and pain free. We will miss her. However, she has taught me how to be brave and strong in the face of illness and to appreciate each and every day. Take care of yourselves. The LCDS music teachers have sent a contribution to the Cancer Survivor Fund.

To Paul and Family,
