Jenny was a great person, always happy and fun. I am truly sorry for your loss. With deepest sympathy.

Shawn, JoAnne, Mike, and family.
Words cannot express how truly sorry we are and shocked to hear of Jen's passing. She was a big part of the Mundy family and will ALWAYS be Jimmy's second Mom! I have alot of regrets that I didn't get to spend more time with Jen, but what I do know is that she was a wonderful, loving, caring, and most compassionate person I know. She will live on in our hearts forever and I will always be grateful for the inspiration and patience you showed my son Jimmy through some of his most difficult times. Watch over us Jen and continue to guide Jimmy down the right path!! You will forever be loved and missed!!!

I'm sorry for your loss. You are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Rhonda and JoAnne, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family and also Jennifer's family.
May God bless you and keep you strong during this difficult time.

You defined what a great friend was.  You were there to support us when we were weak.  You were ready to lend an ear when we needed to talk.  You were ready with a kind word when we needed to hear one.  You were loved.  You are loved.  You will be greatly missed.  May God lift you up.  May He bless your family and friends.  You have already blessed us.

she will b in our prayers and hearts forever r.i.p jenn you will be missed

There are no words to describe how devastated I am.  My only sister is gone.  Jenny you are and will be missed by so many people.  I wish I could express how much I love you and how much I miss you already, but there is not enough space here.  Please know that I will take care of Mike forever.  He was the greatest gift you could have ever given me.  Being an Aunt has shown me what unconditional love is and I promise you that I will always be there for him like I know you would want.  Please watch over us and help us through this...and be our forever guardian angel...I love you so much my baby sister...RIP Jenny RIP.

May God bless you and keep you Jenny. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. Gone way before your time.

Jenny, you always had a way of making people smile.  Although it has been many years since I've seen you, I have no doubt that you carried that trait into adulthood.  My heart aches for your family, and for the friends who were like family.  I know you will be watching over them and I pray that they find peace and comfort in those moments.

Mike, Shawn, Rhonda, JoAnne, and Puppies,

Living a few doors down has enabled me to know that Jen - your loving mom, wife, daughter, and sister - is one of the most authentic people I will ever have had the privilege to know. Words will never express my heartbreak, sympathy, and disbelief.

Always, I will recall sincere talks with Jen. She so loved (and always will) all of you, especially Mike and being YOUR mom! We talked about how proud she was of you, Mike, as you grew up through the years. I can still see you playing ball in front of our houses. I picture your mom driving past St. Rene with you and a carload of your friends always having fun, but your mom continually stopping to say hi while I walked my dog. 

I would like to share a beautiful little story about your mom that I hope gives a brief glimpse of her exquisite essence. I fondly remember a sub-zero, icy, snow-covered day and me (outside) trying to rescue a rabbit that was clearly a domestic pet. My fellow animal lover - Jen pulled up and saw me looking like a ‘crazy’ lady under a car and, of course, asked if she could help. We probably spent almost an hour freezing and chasing this cute little bunny until SHE affectionately caught him/her?! Even this little creature from God had the instinct to know that YOUR MOM was so very special and someone to cherish. Because of Jen, the bunny found a warm and loving home with our other animal-loving neighbor.

Jen, I will sorely miss you and greatly appreciate your kind heart and gentleness. You will always be in my heart until I see you again.

I first met Jenny in the fall of 1994 in our Christian living class at Queen Of Peace. I had no idea that we lived in the same area till I saw her a few times on the 55th street bus coming home...keep in mind I was taking the bus the wrong way so Jenny was so kind to make fun of me at first but showed me the right way :) later that year we became the best of friends. I loved her like a sister and I felt the same from her. She also brought other good friends into my life and my first love…everyone loved her and wanted to be around her. She had something about her…people were drawn to her like a magnet.  I soon came part of their Family when Joanne finally realized how great I was ;) hehe JoAnne knows what I mean :) Rhonda and Joe always welcomed me in their home daily and I spent lots of nights at their house. I always felt loved when I was there and I still do 21 yrs. later. We raised our kids together and spoiled our only children (son's) Mike and Rielly from Birthdays to Halloween we were always together. Sometime I thought we lived at the zoo too cause we took them there often. Let’s not forget that great husband of hers. Jenny was a lucky girl to have Shawn in her life. He loved her like no other and my heart aches for him. Shawn has treated me like a sister over the years. Always fixing something for me or even moving me 3 times over the last 16 years. I can't say enough about the Cepek's other than to thank them for letting me into their lives because it has made mine better in ways they will never know. I love you all and I will miss you Jenny...Thank you for your friendship, I will keep our memories forever and will share them from time to time with Mikey the rated “G” ones of course ? I hope you knew what you meant to people and how much you have touched our lives. There's not another one like you...458

I'll never forget the first time I saw that beautiful little girl sitting on the fire hydrant on 51st & Richmond.  You were 6 years old and the first member of the family that your Uncle Larry introduced me to.
Jenny we shared many happy times together and I will never forget the kindness you showed to your cousin Billy when he had such rough times. He abosolutely adored you as so many others did.  You will be missed my sweet little niece.  Until we meet again  much love your Auntie Debbie

Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time. We were blessed to have known her, she was such a good person.

Had the privledge of getting to know Jen when our sons played baseball together. She was a very kind person and extremely devoted mother.  I will continue to keep Mike and Shawn in my prayers and hope they know how much the community supports them during this painful time of such great loss.

I had the wonderful chance of meeting Jenny during Clear Ridge baseball times with her son, Mikey and my grandson, Justin.   She was such a beautiful person!  She had so much love in her for Mikey that it just spilled over onto the other boys.  She was so caring and patient with them during the season and the championship games in Springfield.  She was always cheering and encouraging the team.  She will still be cheering for Mike, Shawn and all her family from heaven above.   My deepest sympathy.
