hello beautiful its me .. 
karen just wanted to come by and share some good news with you.
im getting married... who would of thought right? 
I know we used to talk about this a lot, you had more faith in the love i deserve in my life than anyone else. 
I told you that you would be my maid of honor, the God mother to my next child if God allows me to be so fortunate. 
I want you to know there is not a day, barely a moment that goes by where i do not miss and or think about you.
I only wish you knew just how much you being apart of my life and the faith, love and kindness you never failed to show me has impacted me immensly. I never got to thank you for always seeing me at my best even at my worst, thank you for showing me love and showing up when the rest of the family ignored. 
my life will never be the same. you took such a big part of me with you, but its yours to keep, it was just the little bit of real love i actually felt next to violet , along with the happiness you and her brought to my life 

I know youll be there on my wedding day, I know you are here at times, and somehow i know this will reach you.
I know you told me how important the family getting together and staying in touch meant to you, I only hope we can get through this and fufill this. Ill talk to you again in my prayers, I will see you once more in my dreams, and Ill smile when I think of our times, and ill continue to hold on to the love you left with me that keeps you alive always  

i love you jenny 
love you so so much -kare

Oh Brianna,  
May you live without pain from here on out!
It was such a blessing knowing you and your contagious smile! I was so fortunate to see you again and meet your children while you were a roommate with my mom at the hospital!
We will sincerely miss you..  Rest in peace…
God bless and lots of love to your family❤️🙏

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. So please don't be unhappy just because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you each morning, noon and night.

I miss your daily work from pictures of valentines! She loved our girl time one day we were in the kitchen and this random song play called Just a girl and we were in shock 😂😂😂

This day we were in charge of the decorations and it  was so hilarious and frustrating she picked the black because she said “Maddie is a woman now” and by the way when they were blowing our ballons we bought the wrong color it was purple because we didn’t read the label 😂 and after how hard it was for the two of us getting them inside the car people were laughing at us 😂😂😂 also I have the Sos Sza album stuck on replay because you love that album!

I will never forget your voice your hugs you showed me again what unconditional love was the daily I miss you text and I love you, you taught me to be more open with how I felt, on this day she started say the term, And that’s on Christmas!

On Saturdays we sometimes cooked or she would make me try the food she made that week and would watch me try the first try and ask, “was it good” it always was of course! Also this time I made hotdogs and she kept on bragging to everyone about great they were (I literally just put the sausage in the pan)😂

Im having a hard time accepting your loss of your beautiful daughter Jennifer .Writing words of condolences as i share your grief while trying to understand all of this. I met your daughter 2x in 2016 ,as you proudly introduced this young lady looking so much like mini you. God measures our faith in times like this. May he gift you and your family healing thru your time of grief. God Bless you my sister from another mother.

Beautiful Jennifer,

I wish I could have seen you one last time. The best thing about going to Debakey was meeting you. You were the most genuine, kind, and wittiest person I knew. My favorite memory was when you came over to my house and you me and ted were just sitting and laughing on the couch. It hurts me so much to have to write this. I hope you know what an amazing person you were and how many lives you made better just with your smile. I’m praying for all your loved ones and close friends who are hurting. I love you forever Jennifer. Rest in peace beautiful soul 🤍

My sweet Jenny. Anyone who knew you knew what a sweet Angel you were and I’m so grateful we were finally able to catch up after so long. Knowing you was truly a blessing. Forever remembering your silliness & infectious smile. I’ll see you in my dreams! Praying for your family<3 I love you Jen Jen

Jennifer, it's hard to put into words how difficult it is to lose a close friend like you. I remember the first time we met as freshman at DeBakey and how we instantly clicked. You had this infectious energy that made everyone around you feel happy and alive. Over the years, you became one of my best friends, closest confidant, and biggest supporter. Even as our lives took us in different directions and we grew apart, I always cared deeply and wished the best for you. Losing you feels like a piece of my childhood has been torn away, but I'm grateful for the time we had together and for the memories that will always stay with me. Thank you for being such a beautiful person, inside and out. I love you and will always miss you Jennifer. Your love and spirit will always inspire me. Rest in peace 🤍

My condolences to the Ortiz family. Jen was the sweetest person I knew and will be missed dearly. 

These times were so fun! Jennifer made you feel known and special, no matter what. Rest easy 🙏🏼

We loved having Jennifer on the Brenntag HR team and she is missed by all of her colleagues and friends at Brenntag & Coastal Chemical.  Here's a photo of a team building event.

She made me so happy by coming to the party and eating more of my cooking than I did!

On her birthday she let you know how grateful she was you came. It was the best present I got that day.

So many mornings eating breakfast and cracking jokes!

She held and fed James like it was her only responsibility in the world.

So many mornings together, sharing breakfast, and cracking jokes!

She saw James and couldnt help but hold and feed him like it were her immediate responsibility

To know Jennifer was to know love. One of my first real friendships and the strongest bond I’ve had with anyone. She is a ray of sunshine and knew how to be there for any person regardless of how well she knew them or not. She taught me to never give up on love and to lead with my heart. The purest form of joy as a person, the kindest heart and the sweetest soul. I am forever grateful for having cross paths with her in this lifetime. There are not enough words to describe the love I have for my sweet Jen. 
I love you today, tomorrow and for the rest of my life. Till we reunite again in heaven Jen. 

The sweetest mother daughter duo. Their love for one another in unmatched. Jens bestest friend and confidant is her mom. 

Jennifer was not only a dear friend of mine, but one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. 
As I reflect on the time I spent with Jennifer, I am filled with a flood of emotions - sadness, gratitude, and an overwhelming sense of admiration for the incredible person she was. Her kindness touched the lives of everyone she encountered, and her warmth and compassion were truly remarkable.
I will never forget the countless times Jennifer went out of her way to help me, whether it was lending an ear to listen, offering a kind word of encouragement, or simply being there for me during difficult times. I’ll always miss our friendship.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time. I can only hope that the memories you have of Jennifer and the love that surrounds you provide some comfort and solace in the days ahead. 

Jennifer,
Your beauty , smile and sweet voice will always resonate in my memory!  
May you rest in God’s loving arms!
Love,
Pat
