I’m so sorry for your loss.  Jen was a wonderful and kind person who always greeted everyone with open arms.  She will be sorely missed by all of her "second family."  She will always be in my heart!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.  I have known Jen for many years, having met her way back at Eden Fire Company in the late 1980’s then luckily becoming a coworker with her at LCWC.  I have fond memories of working with her from 4 to midnight and all the times she asked me to french braid her hair since it was the one thing she always had trouble doing for herself. Even though we did not see each other often, we could catch up in just minutes.  May she rest in peace.

We are so sorry for your loss. Jen was a friend and patient for many years. She was a breath of sunshine! Her heart was so caring and she had a gentle soul. We will miss her laughter, stories about Niko and Sturka and her love for her dad! God Bless you all .

Thank you for being my friend.  It was an honor to be yours.  I love you and miss you Jen.  I will never forget you.

To Joe & Nancy Martin,
   Even though I have not seen Jennifer for many years, I often wondered where she was and so I was quite shocked to read of her passing.  I’m sure it must be a very sad time and you will be remembered in our prayers.  May you experience the comfort and peace of Jesus in these difficult days.
Blessings,
Ginny (Nix) & Glenn Hoover

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jen’s family. We will always have fond memories of Jen and could never forget her kindness. I only wish we had more time with her, but will always be grateful for the fun times we did have. Thank you Jen!

Dear Joe and Nancy, I did not know your daughter but I know she was a wonderful lady just knowing the two of you and how compassionate the two of you are.I am so sorry for your great loss and I trust you can find peace in the midst of the storm.  You are respected by so many people and I hope you feel an outpouring of love from the many people who lives you touched and the lives that your daughter touched during her short time on this earth.

I have had the privilege of being one of Jen’s best friends for the past 16 years.  She had an amazing outgoing personality.  She cared so much about helping other people and taking care of animals.  I have 16 years of wonderful, fun memories of her.  She made even the smallest things in life fun, like our carpooling to work, and driving to and from work in snowstorms.  She made me laugh almost every single day I saw her or spoke to her.  I will never forget her enjoyable spelling errors and mispronunciations at work which made everyone laugh and reduced our stress levels.  I have spent so many holidays and vacations with her and my life will never be the same now. I will miss her usual voice messages "hey, it’s me…" 
Sending out thoughts and prayers to Mr. and Mrs. Martin and all the family and friends during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss, but now heaven has gained an Angel to watch over us.  RIP Jen.
Love,
Holly Ford

I met Jen in 1995 and quickly became friends with her.  Jen was like that… you met her and you were instantly brought into her circle of friends.  I lived with her for a short time during a very difficult period in my life.  Jen was compassionate, caring and giving.  She would drop anything for a friend and went above and beyond what most people would do.  I just spoke with her last week.  I still have her last voicemail and can hear her say, "Hey, it’s me… "  I can’t believe she’s gone so soon. 
I am convinced that God put her on this earth for the benefit of us, her friends and family.  Heaven gained an angel. My sincere sympathy to her parents.  May you find peace in knowing she was so loved by SO MANY.

Dear Joe & Nancy,
     It has been many years since our daughter, Tina(nee:Gantz)Rosenau and Jennifer graduated from Lampeter-Strasburg HS.
     My husband, Jerry, and I, Bonnie, are so very sorry for your loss. Jennifer was a very sweet girl and sure she was a very compassionate young woman. It was Jerry’s and my pleasure to have had Jennifer visit Tina at our home and our delight to have known Jennifer. We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Gerald & Bonnie Gantz

My condolences and deepest sympathy. Though I didn’t know Jen really well, I knew she was a very kind person and I really enjoyed meeting her. I cannot imagine the pain that all of her family and friends are going through. God Bless you all and God Bless you Jen!

I’ve known Jen for a long time.  We met in ’93 to be exact, but got to know her better when we worked together at LCWC.  The chats as she cut my hair about stuff and our dogs. Watching taped Days of Our Lives soaps after work. 

She was diligent in keeping her house clean and caring for hers and other peoples animals, and i remember her house being adorned with collages of photos of all her friends.  I used to laugh at how little she was and how Shadow would goose her cause she was at a perfect height.  As I’ve said and many do and will always say, Jen had a heart of gold.  I’ll remember her this way as long as I live.

My condolences to her family, especially her mom and dad.  I’m so sorry for your loss, Jen was a sweet person.

Rest in peace Jen.

May you rest in peace Jen, you will be missed by many.

Jen was always caring and concerned towards the emergency service personnel that she knew.  So many of us got to know her from her cutting our hair.  A wonderful person.  I am at a loss to properly express our feelings at the loss of her.  Please know truly that your family is in our prayers.

Aunt Nancy & Uncle Joe –

I am so sorry to hear of Jennifer’s passing.  You are in my thoughts and prayers. 

All my love,

Jenny will forever be part of my earliest, and some of my happiest, childhood memories…from Little People Daycare in Lancaster, summers playing in the pool, vacationing with the Martin family, and later, marching band and other activities in high school.  My thoughts and prayers are with Jen’s family and friends.  Godspeed Jenny.

-Daphne Sebelist

I worked with Jen at Lancaster 911. She went out of her way to be friendly and helpful to me. She was a very kind girl. Now she is with the rest of the angels in heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time..I attended high school with Jen and she was always such a wonderful person to be around, and even twenty some years later I still remember her wonderful smile.  I wish I could be there for the services.  I hope you can find some comfort knowing she is in a better place and she’s got her angel wings.  God bless

Tim Tanner and family

My prayers go out to all who knew Jen.  I have known for over 20 years.  She was the best at giving me the best hair styles!  She was a wonderful woman and will be sorely missed by all.  I am still in shock over the news.

Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers! I have so many fond memories of times we spent together. bike rides, sleep overs, etc. Your time on earth was way to short! Miss you…..good bye my friend until we meet again.
