I met Jenny when she was a child at a summer camp. I was one of her counselors. I just learned of her passing today and the idea of it is just tragic. Jenny was always so full of life and had a promising future ahead of her. I feel so much sadness in my heart after learning this terrible news. I will continue to say prayers for her family as I know each day they are without her must be hard.

She gave me a ride home from SHS once. At one point I had said something snooty about her. I didn’t know she was sick. Now I feel like an ass and I hope she knows I didn’t mean what I said. I was kinda jealous I guess. She seemed to have a lot going for her and I didn’t have much. But then again, I didn’t work any where near as hard as she did and she deserved her success. She was always smiling. I noticed that about her. I wish I had just said thank you and kept my mouth shut. High school can make you do stupid things. She was just a sophomore in college. Such a beautiful face. God bless her family. I’m so sorry.

I only met Jenny once, but even then, she left an imprint on my mind that has stayed with me ever since. I was walking through Red Square on the day after Election Day and saw an impromptu celebration for Obama going on. I stood a bit outside of the circle of chanting students, not wanting to bud in. As soon as Jenny saw me, she smiled and invited me into the circle. She made me feel welcome and, even though that fleeting moment was our only interaction, I’ll never forget her because of that kind gesture.

I’m so sad to hear of her passing, but it seems as though she truly lived her life to the fullest. I can’t say that I would have had her courage. She was an inspiration.

I also knew Jenny from Pulmonary Hypertension Association volunteer nights. She was a wonderful young lady and I am so very sorry that this disease has stolen such a dynamic young life. I will miss her sweet and energetic personality, and will always remember her.

I knew Jenny as she volunteered at the Pulmonary HYpertension Association and I met her during our weekly “Volunteer Nights.”

Her passing comes as a surprise since she seemed to be doing so well recently. I am very sad to hear of this and I will miss her positive attitude and smiling face.

I didn’t know Jenny, but I’m sad to hear of her loss. She seems to have been a courageous woman who had a great attitude and a lot to offer the world. I found this news report on her passing by her hometown TV station:
