Jenna is fondly remembered and loved by her family members and friends. She had a wonderful personality, an infectious laugh, and sparkling smile. This past spring, Jenna returned to Wisconsin to visit friends, and this past summer she visited with family and friends in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. In light of what happened, these trips have taken on a special signif icance to all who were able to enjoy her jubilant presence. She was Daddy’s little cuddlebug and Mommy’s precious angel.
