Rest in peace my friend. I will never forget the great times we all had so long ago. My prayers are with your family in this time of sadness. I know you will look down on us and guide us till we meet again. Im sure your wings look so beautiful with ur pretty red hair!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family during this time of loss. 

Jen, words cannot say how much you will be missed.  I truly thought you were going to beat this horrible desease.  I still cannot believe our fun week together in Florida turned out to be a funeral.  I have been looking so forward to seeing you again.  The last time we spoke you sounded so good.  My heart is so broke, however I am glad you are finally out of pain.  You were an Angel on earth, now you are an Angel in heaven.  You raised three wonderful boys and with the love and strength you have shown them over the years, I am sure they will grow up to be successful, kind, caring adults.  

Dylan, Brendan and Tristan - Please find comfort knowing how much your mom loved you and is now looking over you from heaven to help you get through this horrible time and move on to have a good life.  She would only want the best for her wonderful guys.  When we spoke she had such nice things to say about you and was always very proud.  You probably don't remember me since you moved to Florida so many years ago, but we are family and I want you to feel free to call me anytime you need to talk.  Your mom will always be with you in your heart and good memories.

Gary and Lonny, I know you will pick up where Jen left off with the parenting.  You are both good fathers and if you ever have any question as to what is the right thing to do as far as parenting, just ask yourself "What would Jen do" and you will do the right thing.  I know it is hard raising children, especially alone but with the help of Jen's spirit and her new Angelic power from heaven all of you will be ok.  Just remember, Jen will always be with you in spirit and in your heart.  

Love your Cousins,
Eina, Jim, Jimmy & Melanie

Jen, I cant't believe I have to say goodbye...all the love and memories...remember that day we met in 1980? we were inseperable after that..i trusted you w my inner most thoughts and feelings and you never thought me weird or judged me, we just connected. Remember our paper route on roller skates? remember walkin each each other half way home? you were there when i had my first kiss.. my first heart break...when i gave birth to heather and jen,( your namesake) and even there when life took us to different destinations...all the hours on the telephone..sharing our lives the only way we could. the phone. but that was ok cause we still had each other. im sorry if i ever caused you pain my friend but i think you know that...ill never forget you jen. you may not even know it but, your last 3 years were so inspirational to so many. you never gave up and you fought the good fight with all you had and from you, i learned to appreciate things more...you are forever in my heart and will always be, my best friend

I will think of you often and remember the great times we had together. RIP my dear cousin and friend.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Love you very much. Until we meet again I hope and pray that you will always have my back. Love Rita.

I didnt get to know you well but the time I did spend with you I felt you were an amazing person.  My prayers will stay with your family. Rest in Peace Jennifer and we all love and miss you!

REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND YOU REALLY WERE A GREAT PERSON ... MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOUR KIDS AND FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED.. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.. XXOO JENNIFER MINNIGH PAINTER

I just want to say I love you! You were there for my mother her whole life! Her best friend! And the women I was named after! You were a blessing to everyone who knew you! You have raised beautiful smart sons who will do great things in life! I love you! Forever you will be in my heart and in the hearts of everyone you knew!

There are no words that can convey my feelings. 33 years WOW! The first day we met in Fels, you and Gala walked up to me, it was raining I had no umbrella. You were wearing Jordash's dark lipstick and a HUGE umbrella (I guess that was to protect your hair)
   You introduced your self, and said, "im sorry you don't have an umbrella, you must be freaking about your hair". I responded, "I don't need umbrella its just drizzling, my hair always looks like this". The look on your face was shock! Then you asked if I wanted to come over to your house after school, so you could pluck my eyebrows and straighten my hair with the blow dyer, and put makeup on me. It took hours, we were both very pleased, we went up the mall that night, and the party began............ How can I say goodbye? We didn't finish, there were so many place to go, more places to dance.......... 
I WONT SAY GOODBYE! Till next my sister, I LOVE YOU
