Our dear friend Jen, I have such fun memories with you and the pom mom mafia and Housepants book club.  I looked forward to our get togethers and meet-ups at our "secret  lunch spot" and at George Murphys for our boombas. You were always so kind and considerate wanting to know how everyone in our family was doing and willing to support Ev's new dance team--so thoughtful always. We talked a lot about Lake City because our cabin is one town away.  We discussed bringing our boat over to your lake for some fun on the sandbar. I know that would be a good time! We will miss you so much and will promise to keep your memory alive and speak of you often at our gatherings. Bill, Holly & Alex, we are here for you for whatever you may need. Jen spoke so highly of all of you and she will forever be shining her light on your lives.  Our family sends our love and prayers to your family. 
With love, 
Heather Shymanski

Bill, Alex, and Holly and family ~

The love and light Jen lived her life with will carry on in all of us. It will inspire us to live life to the fullest and to be the best and kindest versions of ourselves we can be. We will honor her memory and keep her spirit alive. She is with us now and always, shining down that special Jen light that only she has 💖✨

We were blessed for Sam to have Jen as a preschool teacher (2005-06), and I was thrilled to meet up with Jen again when the girls made Livonia Pom! Always grateful to LP and SHS Pom for the close friendships it brought us and the amazing times we all had with Jen and our families! I loved our "dates" at Time Too Savor where we would make dinners and catch up on all the latest pom drama lol!! Are there was ALWAYS pom drama, right?

All my love and prayers and healing energy are with each of you and your family.  💖 When things quiet down, reach out and the pom mom mafia will be right here for you, whatever you need! 

Jen was a wonderful caring, memorable  Niece  (Nephew Bill's wife).   We thought so much of you Jen.  Knowing that you were always making smiles among your families, and friends.    You were the one that got us all together,  unfortunately not enough.   I don't think we ever could have had enough of Jen.    We have great memories and that smile will never leave us.     REST in Peace Jen,   LOVe 
  Aunt Margaret and Family   

I remember first meeting you as a smart, sassy 8 year old like it was yesterday. It wasn’t long before you were welcoming my children into the world. And you never stopped being all things to all children including your own. The world seems a little dimmer right now without you in it but I know there’s a bright shining new star gazing down on us all. My love to your family and friends at this heartbreaking time

Aunt Jen was a light in so many lives. I am still in shock that you have been taken from us so soon. With living far apart and having our own lives, it’s so easy to lose touch but I always knew you were there and would be if we ever needed each other. I remember being in your wedding, I remember being able to fly by myself to you in Kokomo, IN, you teaching me how to drive, our girl talk, getting to go to a college class, meet ups with your numerous friends.  So many wonderful memories throughout the years with our family.  What I remember most from these times was how much family meant to you and how much your friends meant to you. You always had plans with multiple friends. You always kept in touch with each and every one of them. It was awesome to see and be a part of. You were an inspiration in how to treat people you cared about. I love you and I will miss you. Billy Bob, Alex, and Holly - you already know what an amazing, warm, fun person Jen was but I hope you know the rest of us feel the same. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there to celebrate her life with you.  Lots of love, Stephanie, and my boys, Ethan & Braedan

Jen,
When I think of you, the word that comes to my mind is “fun”.  You had a great passion for life and made everyone around you experience that joy.  Although we’ve been friends for years, through Bunco and Book Club, I feel that our friendship was getting stronger, especially since becoming MSU tailgate buddies.  I mourn what our friendship could have become.  But more importantly, I mourn the loss of a wonderful, kind, caring person.  And if I feel this strongly, after only knowing you for the last 5 years or so, my heart goes out to your family and close friends, as I’m sure that they now have a hole in their lives where there was once your effervescent spirit.  You were truly one of the most wonderful people that I have ever met.  God Bless you.

Your friend forever,
Dawn


Jen was such a kind, generous, thoughtful, beautiful person who lit every room with her amazing smile.  She was always there for everyone, willing to help with anything and ALWAYS had kind things to say.  Book club, bunco, pom....friendship...I will miss you so much at each of these things.  You are loved and missed more than you could have possibly known.  My love and prayers go out to Bill, Alex and Holly who were truly you most cherished and loved treasures.  You were always beaming with pride over your children!  I miss you so much!  Love you Jen Cleaver❤️

Ms. Jen made a huge impact on my son in preschool this year. She went out of her way to introduce herself to my husband and me at a school function in November and I will never forget the kindness and love in her voice as she spoke about how much she enjoyed spending time with our son when she was in his classroom. My son absolutely loved her and will miss her greatly. Thank you, Ms. Jen, for the love and kindness you showed our child. It will not be forgotten. 💗

Jen was very vibrant and example of how life should be lived. Seize the day family and friends

My precious little flower girl.  You were born on Uncle Rick’s birthday and you called him your birthday buddy. I have many fond memories of you growing up.   That was a great summer you helped me at the lodge.  You were loved by many and returned that  love over and over.  We have blessed to have  you as family. Bill, Alex and Holly please remember you have family in Northern Maine who love you .   Love Aunt Sara.     Christmas 1995

We met through Pom and became friends. Jen's smile lit up a room and you always felt great sharing time together. The void an entire community is feeling is a tribute to Jen's love of life, friends and her precious family.  She was one of the 'Pom moms' that was always there to support Natalee. The picture is one they brought Natalee after her shoulder surgery with a wonderful get well basket. An amazing person gone too soon from our lives. Thoughts and prayers to Bill, Alex and Holly , may your memories bring you comfort. 
I am reminded of the song 'Borrowed Angels' when I think of Jen.

They shine a little brighter, they feel a little more
They touch your life in ways no one has ever done before
They love a little stronger, they live to give their best
They make our lives so blest, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful

They must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright

They reach a little deeper, they see what's in your soul
And even when they leave you know, you'll never let them go
The world's a little richer, just cause they came along...




My dearest  friend Jen I will miss you so!  We have such wonderful memories including from LP, Stevenson Pom,  book club and bunco-so many good times we have had!  You had the gift of making everyone immediately feel welcome and you were that person people just loved right away.  I will miss your smile and friendship.  Heartfelt condolences to Bill, Holly and Alex-you loved them so much and were so proud of them,

I will always remember Mrs. Cleaver for being an awesome Pom Mom, Hair Party host, and genuine person.  Mrs. Cleaver always welcomed me into her home with open arms and always had Primo’s chicken tenders waiting for us 😉. For all the times she did my hair for Pom, helped at a Pom event, or was there to chat with Holly and I, I will always remember her kindness. Mrs. Cleaver was gone way too soon, but she will never be forgotten ❤️

To the Cleaver Family, my thoughts and prayers will always be with you. I am always here for you. 

RIP Mrs. Cleaver, you will be greatly missed. 😇❤️

To our beautiful Jen, 
You were the bright light in any room. Loved by so many, friends with so many and adored by all. We have been blessed to have you in all of our lives! 
Just know we will be there for Holly, Bill and Alex. We will love them always. 
Rest easy our dear friend and guide us from above❤️

Jen Cleaver has left the building...

Mrs. Cleaver was part of the thoughtful group that sent me lots of goodies, including a framed picture of myself alongside of the “Pom moms”, while I was recovering from shoulder surgery. The kindness she put into the world will never be forgotten! 

I met Jennifer about 9 years ago when our daughters were on Livonia pom together. She quickly became one of my favorite “pom moms”.  She was always so much fun to be around. From riding to pom events to hanging out at the Spree or just taking a walk around the neighborhood everything was always more fun with Jen around. I’m heartbroken to lose such a treasured friend. I’m going to miss her terribly. Here is a fun pic of us downtown when our daughters were in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

The world lost a beautiful person. I’m so heartbroken. She was such a pleasure to know. So thoughtful, caring and fun to be around. She continually checked up on us. Life is not fair and I am not happy about it!! Jennifer Mason Cleaver the world is a dimmer place today without your light. Praying for Bill, Alex and Holly  💔 We will miss you always.❤️🧡❤️🧡

What can I say about Jen Cleaver?  Kind, thoughtful, helpful, sweet and fun. I am honored to have the time and memories with you that I do and that I was able to have you in my life. I will miss our catch-up texts, phone calls and meet ups. You never let me go very long without a text saying, “I haven’t heard from you, how are you my friend?” or simply “Can I call you?”  In a world of mostly text and email communication, you were never afraid to pickup the phone and call.  You were also the person I most randomly ran into this year at Meijer (at least 3 times) and at Busch’s (glad I took that selfie now in the baking aisle). I also love that we became workout buddies too!  No one was ready to let you go so soon but you will never be forgotten. You were the best wife, mother and friend. You left quite a mark on all the people that knew you and the world was definitely brighter with you in it. I will miss you very much my sweet friend. Love always, Kelly 

 I will never forget what a special person Jen was and all the memories we shared together with our daughters, especially being Girl Scout leaders and pom moms together.It has been so hard to go through my hundreds and hundreds of pictures of us together. My thoughts and prayers to Bill, Holly, Alex and their extended family. How I wish I could hear her say to me again, "Fisher, get your coffee ready because I have got some gossip for you!" Rest in peace.

Jen, you were usually the first person I saw when I got to work each day. We often arrived at the same time and would walk into work chatting about our kids, the weekend, or what we did the night before.  You always started out my day on the right foot with your energy, your sense of humor, your smile.  Words cannot convey how much the children and the friends you worked with at Livonia Public Schools Great Start Readiness Program will miss you.  You were a bright light in our program.  You are irreplaceable and we will always remember you.

I knew Jen from her time in Indiana when Alex was just a toddler up until she was pregnant with Holly and moved to Michigan.   I have fond memories of Friday night pizza get togethers and "bring whatever you can to share" for dinner.   She helped me feel welcome in a town I was unfamiliar with and coached me through my first pregnancy.   To say she was a good friend doesn't quite put it into words.   My most favorite memories are of making Christmas cookies with her every year.   A tradition that remains with me to this day.   Every year I think of her when I make my Christmas cookies and I'm sure every year forward I will as well.

Bill, Alex, and Holly, I'm so very sorry for your loss.   I hope you can find a way forward from this and celebrate her and her love of life.




Bill and Family,

Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.  Words cannot say how sorry I am for your loss.  May the thoughts, prayers, and support of your family and friends help you through this very difficult time.

Phil Michalski - NXP

You were a coworker who quickly became my friend.   When I was off work for surgery last month you texted me all the time and sent silly pictures of you with the little ones.  You had my back-always. 
I will miss you my friend.  

Until we meet again....

I worked with Jen at Building Blocks  preschool. She was so easy to be with. I truly enjoyed being her partner in the classroom. Fun is what comes to my mind when I think of Jen. I would say she never met a stranger. So sad. My sympathies to family and friends. 

I worked with Jen at Building Blocks Preschool. She was a dedicated teacher loved by students and parents alike. She always had a smile and a positive attitude. I am praying for comfort for the family at this difficult time. 

It was only one week ago that we met up with you and you gave us a tour of Detroit.  We had so much fun eating Pizza, drinking a few beers, and sharing stories from long ago.  Margaret and I cannot believe you are gone.  Jen, you had an amazing love of life, and vibrant energy.  You leave us at far too young an age, but will be forever in our thoughts.  Our deepest condolences go out to your family. We will be flying out this weekend to pay our respects and say our final goodbyes. Jen we love you.
