In Loving Memory of Jennifer Lynn LaFene

Born: October 21, 1970 to Judy and Herb Smith

At rest with God in Heaven: November 7, 2000

Tributes

Jennifer was a wonderful person from the time she was little until died doing what she had dedicated her life to, helping others. She knew that her job involved risks but she also knew how rewarding it was to save lives and make a difference. She was always the protector. Sometimes it was of animals and sometimes it was people.

Jennifer was beautiful and talented and loved life. Those who knew her would attest to that. Strangers to Jennifer were simply people she hadn't yet met. Jennifer made friends easily because she was always looking out for the other person.

Thirty years is not long enough to have a child with you. Yet God called her home. He must have had another plan for her. Jennifer gave me the greatest gift that a daughter could give her Mother. She allowed me to be there when my granddaughter was born. From that moment on Kristen has been the light of my life. Now when Jennifer looks down from heaven, I hope she can take some pleasure in seeing her Mother and her daughter together sharing memories of a very special person.

I miss you and I love you with all my heart.
Your lonesome Mom

We Do Not Need a Special Day
We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake, We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you. Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache, And often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase, And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Dear Mommy,

I started to cry when Grammy read me the poems because I miss you.
I love you.
You have beautiful hair and I liked to brush it.
I will always love you in my heart.
I miss hugging you so much, but now I know that you are with Jesus.

I will always love you.
Kristen (March 4, 2001)

Jen my angel,

My heart was dreary, dark, and cold,
There was no love for it to hold.
You and I met, we fell in love,
My beautiful Angel sent from above.
Precious gifts, from your heart there were two, Kristen and Benjamin remind me of you.
But now you are gone, my sun turns to snow,
No good reason why you had to go.
I know you were an Angel, from Heaven you came, Our Father missed you and called out your name.
It will be a long time till your beauty I see,
But forever and ever my Angel you will be.

I Love you…….Bill.

Written for our anniversary March 16

Jen My Angel

Five years ago today when I made you my wife,
Was the happiest day of my whole life.

You were so beautifully dressed in white lace,
Tears of joy streamed down my face.

Through God we were joined, two became one.
Our love for each other, second to none.

But now there's no joy in these tears that I cry.
You've been taken from me, I don't know why.

Alone without you on our special day,
I miss you more than words can say.

Happy Anniversary My Angel . . . .Love Bill

Jen, my angel, four years ago today you were taken from us. Time has made the pain less but not a day goes by that we don't thik of you and miss you so much. Sometimes we cry from sadness we feel because you aren't here. Ben and Kristen smile when I tell them about he good times we had together, but now and then they still cry at bedtime, missing you. Each time we see A Tigger, an ambulance, a flight helicopter, or many other things we are reminded of you. Know that we will never forget you and you will forever be in our hearts.

We miss you so, all our love
Bill, Kristen and Ben

 

 

In Loving Memory of
Jennifer Lynn LaFene
10/21/70 - 11/7/00

It is hard to believe that it has been five years since you were taken from us, yet is seems all too long.
You are never far from our thoughts and always in our hearts. We love you and miss you very much.
The kids ask about you and I tell them stories, sometimes with smiles and sometimes with tears.
We pray that our memories will keep us until we are all together again one day.

We send you all of our love.
Mom and Bill

Tributes and letters from Friends:

Beginning of Friendship

I was the teacher and you the student,
I taught you all I knew of the business.
What did I forget, where did I go wrong?
Then you came to work with us,
I was your partner, we were a team.
We saved the lives of some,
And extended the lives of many.
Our friendship grew beyond the walls of work,
We were friends. I was there for you, and you for me.
I stood at your side when you married the man of your dreams And when your first miracle was born.
Now you are gone.
I stood by you at death And morn you everyday.
You are in my heart and my head,
And no one will ever take that away.
I talk to you everyday, and I know you hear me.
So you know how much I miss you, our friendship and our talks. Why did you go , What went wrong?
I miss you Jen, and will never forget You!
Love dar

 

Jennifer-
You are the best friend any one could ever ask for, and I miss you so very much. You were always there for me when ever I needed you, and for that I thank you. There are not many people who you can call a true friend, but my dear that you were. A very true and dear friend then, and still now. I know that you are up in heaven watching over all of us, and missing us as much as we miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will always be there for me even if I can't see you I know that you're still here with me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't want to just pick up the phone and tell you to pack up your things for the day and come visit with me, because I know that you would do that. How many people would take a weeks vacation to come and stay with their pregnant girlfriend for a week!!!!!!!! because her husband was out of town, and you were concerned that I would go into labor. And you wanted to make sure that you were there with me just in case. Only a true and dear friend would do that for me, and you did.
I was blessed to have you in my life for 18 years, and I thank god for that, because you were and still are the best friend I ever had!!!!!!!!! I miss you so very much and I want you to know that you are loved and deeply missed. Thank you for giving me 18 years of the best friendship one could ever ask for .I LOVE YOU JENNIFER AND MISS YOU SO BADLY!!!!!!!!!! But I know that you are in a better place, and when my day comes you will be there with open arms waiting to greet me, and I will once again get to see my very best friend.
BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
MONICA
