A poem for you

By Henry Van Dyke

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is
Eternity.
(from Lynn)

For Kevin, Helen and Elizabeth,

I’m so grateful that our girls brought us together. I’ll always remember your truly honest view of the world, great sense of humor, and our shared deep love of music...to a wonderful mom, wife, daughter, and friend.

With great sadness and much love, Donna

Lighting a candle for Jennifer

Thinking of our courtyard chats and Astoria hangs. Our shared love for Shakespeare and Lebanese cuisine. And most importantly, your passion, care, love, and support for your amazing girls. In our hearts always. Love, Maria, Johnny, Dalia and Ziyad

Music in her Soul

lynnakennedy — 2020-04-16 20:07:28 UTC

Jennifer sent me this piece of music at some point during her treatments, which when I listen to it, makes me teary. Jennifer thrived on music. This piece captures for me a gentleness of spirit with hope, something Jennifer always had and offered us all. -

Remembering our fun times together with the girls. The pic below from a summer day at Socrates park or another trip to Dyker Heights to see the Christmas lights. Jen loved planning activities for the girls and sharing her love of the arts and music. I am grateful for sharing those memories and so saddened by this terrible loss. 💗 Carol

A memory of Jennifer by Hannah

I will always remember how kind she was. She offered to buy Helen and I ice cream when she didn’t have to.

To Someone I wished I had Gotten to Know

2020-04-17 17:22:33 UTC

I recall first “meeting” Jennifer during early dismissal in the school courtyard on a warm September afternoon in 2018. I was too shy to introduce myself and try to get to know her. Several months later I learned who this woman sitting next to me on the bench was and heard about the start of her brave journey battling GBM. Since then I have learned so many great, special things about Jennifer through the Q300 third grade community, and I have gotten to know her husband and her two poised, beautiful daughters a little more. I have also admired how Jennifer had managed to prioritize the well being of her children amid all the treatment cycles and make the most of her limited time here with her family. Many condolences to her family for such a tremendous loss.

When I’d go to class events - reading celebrations, performances- there would be such a lovely woman there, whom I didn’t know but who would without fail smile at me when our paths crossed or eyes met. It was so appreciated, and so kind, and so refreshing! I remember finally actually meeting each other, but it felt like we had met well before that, because her presence was just so warm and welcoming and friendly . I didn’t know Jennifer well, but our interactions always made the world a little warmer for me, and I know she made the world a little warmer - and better - for so many. She touched more people than you will know. She will always be in our thoughts. With much love, Ellie (Isaac’s mom)

In loving memory...

Jen, I was so glad we got to have our final visit while you were in rehab. The way you spoke about Helen and Elizabeth with such conviction that they would be okay, the knowledge that Kevin, with all of the usual things husbands do has been and will continue to be, has been there in so many ways. Your intense belief that eventually they would find a way to help others in this situation. It reminded me of all the times we were outdoors on a park bench watching our babies run around, making plans for their futures and being inspired by their vitality. I will miss our courtyard conversations and your wonderful laugh.

Jennifer was a wonderful person and a great friend with whom I shared an appreciation for the state of Maine and always had good notes to compare. Throughout her battle with GBM it was remarkable how she always kept a positive attitude. She left behind memories of wisdom and kindness, and inspiration on how to live well.
Love,
Paul, Carrie, Marin, Blake
