10 years later and your passing is still so impactful, in 10 years I still have not met anyone with your energy and electricity. 
I think of you and all that comes to me is pure and radiant sunshine, to have known you was to feel light. 
I am so so so glad and thankful to have known you. 
Love you Jen. 

I find myself back to this page today.  I really, really miss you with all my heart. Most days are o.k. but for some reason today your in all my thoughts. I love you very much.

M

I was thinking about you not long ago. I also got a reminder of your birthday, Happy Belated Birthday!!

My daughter, today you would have been 23.  I'M sorry your not here to enjoy your life. I miss you so much and always think about you. I wish you were here for your brother. I am really trying to not be so sad and only remember the happy times of your life. I know I will see you again someday so I will wait patiently until that time. I love you and miss you dearly. 
Mom

It seems like  only yesterday when I  brought my  little girl home.  But it feels like an eternity since you've been  gone.  You were always with me.  We did everything  together.   I guess I took  you  for granted and thought you'd be  here forever.   The day  you  left you took a piece of my heart.  It was the first time ever we would be permanently apart.  All I could think  was my life was  all through.   Now I know each day away will bring me one day closer to being with you.
Jenn I  miss you terribly.   I love you daughter.
Mom

Jenn,
Its hard to beleive you would be 22. I always wonder what you might be doing. I miss you more than ever and you're always on my mind. I love you 
Mom

I love when Alex talks about you. To have the privilege to hear the stories of when y'all were kids.. Like a little window into the past. It breaks my heart that you're gone. I wish I had gotten the chance to meet you. He misses you.. A lot. But he's doing really well. I know you'd be extremely proud. I am. You are so deeply loved. Rest in peace, sweet girl.

I think about you every single day and there isn't a second that I don't think of you. All of my success in life, I give thanks to you, our beautiful angel!

Oh Jen It's been a while I haven't written anything, but time goes by so fast. It's crazy!! I still remember the day I found out about you passing away, it's still sad, but I know that now you are shining brighter beautiful angel!

I really, really miss you.
I wish you were here to talk to. I miss your voice and laughter.
I miss my percious daughter. I'm so lonley without you.  It's tough being the only girl in the house.
I really miss you and I love you.
Mom

Jennifer I miss you so much,and I can't believe its already been 3 years today. You were a great friend and you were there when I needed someone to talk to. There is not a day that goes by that I don't regret not talking to you for awhile right before you passed, but if anything you have taught me to not let a day go by without letting the people I love know that I love them. I bet you look amazing with your wings and everything. I know you are an Angel up in heaven with no worries and for that I am grateful knowing that you no longer have to deal with pain. Hope to see you again one day.

~Amber

3 years. Time flys. Miss you Jennifer and I always will, you are never forgotten and never will be. I love you sis.

My beautiful daughter, 
Wow-you're 21 now,  I sit here and wonder what you would be doing now.  Time goes by so fast but not fast enough for me. I think abut you all the time and I'm really missing you today. Whoever said time heals is a liar, I love you forever.
Mom

Somedays are harder than others in dealing with your passing. We shared alot together. We were so much alike. Your mom always that I spoiled you and she is right. You were and are my twin. I love you.

Jennifer, there isn't a day I do not think of you and the numerous memories we shared together. You were, and no matter what, will always be one of my best friends. I regret the few months we spent not talking before your passing every single day. But I know all of the times we shared together before that overcome those rough months. We spent so much of our childhood together and it doesn't get easier to know that I can't call you and come over to see you. But I know you're looking down at me and you are forever my guardian angel. I love you and miss you dearly!

Jennifer,
I miss you so much. I really wish you were here. No amount of time that goes by will ever heal the giant open hole in my heart. I miss you more than ever, especially on days like I've had this week.  My memories make me happy and I realize how fortunate I was to have had you. I love you.
Mom

I miss you every single day, But I know you're my guardian angel!

Dearest Shirley and family,
You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer,
I remember when we went to Europe that you would always sit behind Jane and I. We had so many good times, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss your bright face. In the words of Wicked, "I have been changed for good."
Love Your friend,

Daniel Miller

Jenny,
It's been one whole year since you left us. I am so lonely without you.  I miss seeing your face and hearing your voice.  You are never out of my thoughts.  I love you and miss you so very much but I will be patient till we see each other again.  I love you forever.
Mom

My Beautiful Daughter,
It's been almost a year now and the pain still stabs me through my heart like it was yesterday.  Dad and I went to visit your grave and your marker was finally put up.  Its beautiful just like you and I know you would have approved.  I miss you dearly and think of you every day.  You are never far from my thoughts. Rest peacefully my child.  I love you.
Mom

Jenn, you were always so lively and I enjoyed every laugh we shared together on our trip to Europe. It's been almost a year and I still am overwhelmed with the fact that you are gone forever. You taught me not to care what other people thought. You were always so happy and seemed fearless. Rest in peace. You are missed.
Xoxo
Jane

I can't believe its almost a year. I remember when I first came in from Westchester to Northbrook and you were one of the first to talk to me and showed me arourd the school. I remember when I would be sitting at the table in the morning and you were the first to arive and we would talk and wait for everybody else to come. You are the nicest person I have ever met, the sweetest, the most beautiful. I wish you were still here and you are in all our memories. I Miss You.

Your truly missed babe. You are so beautiful and loving and caring. God it's just hard for me to let you go.

You just had a birthday and it has been right at 10 months since God took you home.  Not a day goes by that I don't think about your mom, dad and brother.  I never had a chance to know you, but my heart breaks for your parents and brother.  I pray for them everyday and hope they find peace.  You are forever in the comfort of Jesus' hands, but your mom, dad and brother are left here to make since if it all.

Jenn,
You've been gone for over seven months now and I'm no where near to being able to accept your gone. I miss you more than ever.  I love you forever. Diamond misses you.
Love Mom

Love you always my little twin.

                         Dad

It has been almost five months since you left us.  We miss you dearly and I think of you everyday.  We were blessed to have you in our lives for the short time you were here.  There are no words to express the agony in my heart at never hearing your voice or seeing your face in this system.  I love you very much and feel utterly alone without you, my shopping partner, my friend, my daughter.  Dad and I will always love you and hold your memories dear.  Alex misses you too.  I love you forever
Love Mom

jennifer,
i never got a chance to meet you, but it still manages to take a bit of my breath away to know that God has taken back one of his blessed angels.
im close to tears just typing this. 
i keep you and your family within my prayers.

Wood Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I received a comforting message from Paul on my daughters obituary guestbook. After reading his words, I searched and found Jennifer's information on the internet. My daughter, Allyssa "Ally" Wood died from injuries she received from a car accident on 4 April 2011. She was 18 years old and my precious girl. It appears her and Jennifer were alot alike, both beautiful girls with the world at thier fingertips. I cannot find any words that would comfort you as I cannot be consoled, but I do want you to know that we travel this tragic road together and my family will pray for you as you have for us. Again, I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Jenn,
You have been gone from us only a month now but the pain feels like it was yesterday. I love you and miss you so much.  Life is nor ever will be the same.  Alex and Diamond miss you so much too. I pray for the day we will be toghther as a family again. Your dad and I love you more than any words can say. Good bye for now. Rest in his loving memory. I love you.
Mom

Jennifer,
When I heard the sad news I was so overwhelmed. You made the trip to Europe this summer so much fun. I loved her joy and your love of life. You touched my life. I will never forget you. Smile down at us so we know you are with God. Love you....Mickie Dion

Jennifer, 
I still cannot believe you are gone. I know you are in a better place but It still hurts us all not to see your smiling face. Our family will miss you very much. We watched you grow up into a beautiful girl. Your dad cherished you and I know he is hurting beyond words. You made him very proud. We all love you and will meet you again someday. Rest in piece little cousin.

I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and pray that strength, comfort and the love of your friends will help ease the tremendous pain and loss.  with deepest sympathy, Madeline Schmid

my sweet, beautiful daughter,
I miss you so very much.  I can't beleive I will never hear your voice again or see your beautiful face again.  I'm dying inside. I love you more than words can say.  I am so happy that you had so many friends that loved you. You made such an impact on so many different people and I am so proud of you. I am doing all I can so that when God says Jennifer open your eyes I can be there.  I love you my baby rest in peace.
Love mom

Well I was not really in touch with this wonderful young lady, but I do remember her as a cheerleader.  I do remember helping her strive to do the best she could.  My heart goes out to her family & friends and I know that she is as happy as she will ever be.
GOD BLESS!

To Paul and family.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful daughter Jennifer.

Paul and family...  My heart is just devastated hearing the news about your daughter...  Since I saw the facebook post earlier, and haven't been able to think about anything else...  I am simply overwhelmed knowing the pain and heartache you are feeling...  My heart also goes out to your son...  I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain, however, there isn't anything...  If you ever need a friend to lean on, please call me...

Paul and Shirely, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I never met Jennifer, I know the priceless gift a child is to a parent and cannot begin to imagine how you must feel. Looking at her picture I can see how beautiful she is and how her light shines form within. I will keep Jennifer in my prayers as I am sure she is in Heaven. I will also pray for you and your family. God bless you!

Jen such beautiful girl,
It's hard to believe your gone but I know that in our hearts you will remain. Im glad I got to have known you more my senior year in track and pre-cal, even though I've known you since middle school. I know your in a better place now . Im glad you were able to be in a part of life. I will miss you so much and will never be forgotten in my heart. Condolences to the woods. I will keep you and your family in prayers. I love you

I cannot believe that you are not with us anymore. You have been taken away and only God knows the reason. Jennifer, you will always stay alive in our hearts. Your joy and your smiles and your energy will fill us all up with your memories. Rest in peace, Jennifer. We love you so much!

Jennifer, You came into my daughters life and things were never the same. You were such a Wonderful friend and I thank you for that. I enjoyed all the time you spent  here at the house. I have enjoyed listening to Kaitlyn share her memories of things you two did together. You were taken from this earth much too early. But I can imagine you running through a field chasing Annabelle and having a ball. Its going to be hard not seeing you around the apartments. Watch over all your friends down here. You will be missed!

Paul, Shirley, Clayton & Roya,  I cannot begin to express how heavy my heart is for you and all those who knew and loved Jennifer. I pray that the beautiful memories you have of your sweet girl comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time.

Paul & Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I pray that God gives you the strength to get through this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hate to find you here Jennifer. I know we didn't talk much in tennis but your beautiful smile said it all. You were always surrounded by friends who loved you and still do.Last night i had a dream where we were at nhs and getting ready to go to your funeral. The shocking thing is that you were there with us wearing a white or light pink gown. You had that sparkling smile on your face. When we got into our vehicles, you got in to mine. Maybe this means that your going to protect me as i drive around. ? JW ? R.I.P. :,(  youl be missed and never forgotten because a little part of you will be in all our hearts. preyers to you and your family. May god bless your family and may you rest in peace Jennifer wood

Jennifer, 
You were my best friend for a big part of my life. No words can express how much I am deeply hurt. We got through elemantary and middle school together. I know we drifted the last few years but we both knew why. We loved each other regardless of the changes. I was truly blessed to be a part of your life for as long as I was. You are forever cherished in my heart. You will be missed by so many. You were a beautiful person inside and out. I love you and I know you are in a safe place.

No doubt that the heavens are blessed with a brighter star to look over family and friends through their earthly journey!  RIP beautiful Jennifer!

Yet I really didn't get to know you but it was good knowing you now your in a better place and resting in peace and watching over all of your loved ones RIP Jennifer

Jennifer, it's hard to know that you're gone. We will miss you & your happiness so much. Your memories will be cherished and in our hearts forever! We didn't talk that much but i'm thankful that i got to meet such a great friend like you!

Jennifer,

You touched more people than you know; even four years later at LMS. You were always wanting to improve whatever you did.  Even in middle school I was impressed with your strength of character and drive.  Although your time with us was too brief, I know that you will watch over us, always wanting us to do our best.

The LMS family loves you and your brother. Your parents, brother, and loved ones have been in my prayers often.

Thinking of the Wood family.  Jennifer will not be forgotten.
She was a lovely young lady.

So many of us at LMS will miss you, you were one of our brightest students; there was no doubt in our minds you were going to have success in life...unfortunately, you have been taken away so soon. My deepest condolences to all of your family.

Jennifer, I am shocked to know that you are no longer breathing the same air the rest of us share. I have faith though, that you are now resting with God. You were a very awesome person. May the Lord bring peace and comfort to your family. We love you and will miss you, but you won't be forgotten.

Our trip to Europe wouldn't have been the same without you, Jen.  I can still remember playing mini-golf in Germany and having fun, not because we were good at it (we were absolutely horrid, thinking back on it), but because of all the jokes you made.  I remember being overjoyed when you were my roommate and we ended up staying up too late talking about Hello Kitty, prank calls, and teddy bears.  You were such an amazing person and I was lucky to not only have met you, but to find a new dear friend.  I'm going to miss you so much.  God couldn't have picked a better angel.  Rest in Peace, Jen.

"Jen, I cant express in words how much i miss you right now. I met you on our europe trip and we had so much fun.Even though we new eachother for 3 weeks i grew very close to you and I hope to cherish those memories of that trip forever. Miss you dearly
your friend
Allison

Hi Jen. I met you this summer on an amazing trip to europe. You were really funny and nice and just a pleasure to be around. Im sorry for whats happened. When I heard the news I was shocked. I still am, I can't beleive it. I hope you're ok up there, I'm sure you are. I wish your family the best. Goodbye. RIP.

You will most certainly be missed, Jennifer. It seems like just the other day you were bounding down the halls of LMS giggling. My prayers are with you and your family.

From elementary to seniors wow years have passed and not knowing that you won't be walking down the stage with me in graduation it hurts so much knowing that your gone I know god takes people that he needs to watch over us. YOUR MY ANGEL FROM ABOVE. R.I.P Jennifer Wood

Hey Jenny. We met only for a short time but it was wonderful getting to know you. i want to thank you for letting me get to meet you. Thnx for sharing all the laughs with me and my little sister. We will miss you and keep you in our prayers and our hearts forever.

I met you since elementary school. We grew up together you were so close to me at some point in my life that even though we drifted apart I will never forget you!I can't believe that your gone...it all happened so quick!!I miss you!You will never be forgotten!You were an amazing and true friend. We all miss you and love you!
