    I have fond memories of Jennifer. Sharing time at her family home in high school was very special. She was fun and a very encouraging person. I had so hoped to reconnect at our class reunion. I am saddened to know she was sick but rejoicing that she is with Jesus and enjoying His presence. Jennifer waits in eternity for all those she loved to join her.
    Jeff and Family my prayers are with you all.

    We planned on coming to the visitation but I got out of a meeting so close to 8 p.m. and didn’t want to keep the family there longer than necessary. Doug really wanted to see Clydell and Phyllis in person. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Doug & Evelyn (Frost) Bayles
