Beautiful, sunny, warm. The sky was blue, the clouds were scattered and white. The sun was on her face and a warm gentle breeze passed through, when Jen took her last breath this morning.
Jen let go of this life at 11:15 am.

Dear Stephen and family,
You know how I felt about Jennifer. We met 21 years ago, and we always had fun together. We will to celebrate Jen at our cul de sac parties.
My condolences to you and the family.
Love Andrea
Stephen, nobody’s heart is broken more than yours, but know that anyone that Jen touched is not far behind.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing her journey in this blog. I know some days it had to be hard. It helped us to be a little closer to her. Most of all, thank you for loving her like she deserved to be loved. I know she loved you back the same.
To my dear friend Jen, who is now watching me from above, I love you. Until we meet again…
I’m so saddened to hear this news. My thoughts are with you and both of your families, as I know this has been an especially difficult and certainly unexpected journey. I’m sure the days ahead will be difficult, too, but I hope we all find some solace knowing that Jen, a beautiful and loving soul, is free from pain and at peace in the heavens, where all of us will someday join her.
♥️
What a loss for our tight little cul de sac, the past 20 years just flew by with kids and puppies and neighbors coming and going. 4th of July’s, Halloween pot lucks, Christmas and birthday parties, Jen was in the middle of it all! She will be sorely missed but Stephen just know we are all just outside the door for you now. 💔🙏🏻
Goodbye, Jennifer. I missed you already. Now I miss you even more. Thank you for sharing her last journey with us, here, Stephen. My heart breaks for you and your families.
I love you Jennifer. You will always be my person. ❤️
Thank you Stephen for sharing this incredible journey of Jen’s last months with us. You are in our thoughts and prayers. She has been lifted up on a sunbeam to be with those loved ones that have gone before.Both of you have been incredibly strong throughout this journey and that strength will sustain you in the days to come.
I’m so very sorry. I had no idea she was sick. I just got a call with this shocking news. Jen and I shared a birthday, exactly 10 years apart. We started working together when she was in her early 20s and I was in my early 30s. I have no words. At this time where we can’t remember her together in person—my deepest condolences go out to Stephen and Jen’s parents and sister along with all of the family. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️💔
So sad to see this. Keeping you and your families in my prayers for peace and strength.
I’ve just heard about Jennifer’s passing. I’m so very sorry to hear this sad news. A beautiful lady has left this earth today. Stephan I know you are heartbroken. My sincerest condolences. What a crappy year! 💦💔
I’ll always treasure our friendship the past 10 years and all our lunchtime and coffee-run discussions about music, politics, her family and all your trips to Ohio, Brooklyn, the Outer Banks, Italy and your frequent motorcycle journeys. My heart is broken for you Stephen. She had a special place in so many people’s lives. That can never be taken away.
STEPHEN AND FAMILIES, SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. SHE WAS AN AMAZING,STRONG,
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU AT THIS TIME.
KNOW THAT SHE IS FREE OF PAIN AND THAT SHE LOVED YOU ALL. WE WILL
MEET AGAIN SOME DAY. REST IN PEACE JENNIFER, LOVE YOU!
AUNT JOANNE AND UNCLE DENNY

Dear Stephen,
Jon Guttman emailed me last night regarding Jennifer. Her sparkling deep blue eyes really showed her wise old soul within. I am sending you and your family prayers of healing at this time of deep grief and mourning. Jennifer Keen
❤️
Jennifer was my carpool buddy, my office mate and will always be my friend. Sending love to Stephen and all the Vann / McMasters family.
💔❤️ I still can’t process this as she was one of the most full of life people I’ve known. Jen and I spent countless days together over a couple of decades at first in the same office and eventually in adjacent offices and and over many years, shared in each other’s joys and sorrows. Reading what she went through (Along with her beloveds—Stephen, Carol & John and Beth) breaks my heart. I don’t have adequate words to convey condolences and the awe I have for her bravery. Just tears and memories.
All peace and no pain, except for those of us left behind. May we find comfort in our memories and love for Jennifer.
❤️
So sorry for your loss. May our memories never forget Jennifer.
Our deepest sympathy to you Stephen, to Carol, John, Beth, Family and Friends. Thank you for sharing her last days with all of us. It was amazing to feel the love, strength and endurance she had through the support of her family. She is home now and beautiful memories will help you through this difficult time. Rest In Peace Jennifer.❤️🙏
I’m so very sorry for your loss and the pain you must be feeling. I will keep my memories tucked in my heart. Goodbye my dear best high-school buddy. 💔💕
Stephen and Family, it feels as there is not enough words to express my sorrow for your loss. My heart goes out to you Stephen, watching you care for your beloved wife in her toughest and most weakest moments only has me imagining what your love outside of the hospital was like before her diagnosis. Passion and true love.
I only knew Jennifer when she was first admitted to the hospital. I will never forget how she managed to find a moment to laugh or make us smile even though she was in pain. I’d like to share a quote that has been making itself present to me while I was taking care of Jennifer. “The best way to find yourself is to loose yourself in the service of others.” -Mahatma Gandhi
It was an honest pleasure of taking care of Her. May your families find peace and comfort during this sad time.
The sun shining on Jen’s face was the reassurance that God’s Son welcomed her into His
arms for eternity. May His continued blessings be upon you, Stephen, Carol, Beth and John .
Sandra and Ron
From Jen’s mother Carol, father John, sister Beth, step-brother John(Jill), step-sister Lisa a word of thanks. Thank you to each & everyone of you who have used this blog to post words of love, hope & encouragement to Jen during the last four months. I know that Jen read them as long as she was able to do so. Our hearts are broken at her passing but we are confident that she is in a place without pain or suffering.
❤️💔
I’m so saddened by Jen’s passing. I always felt a fun kinship and connection with her when we worked together on magazine stories. We bonded over music a lot too. I will miss her, and my condolences to Stephen and all who cared for Jen. She was fun and genuine and a joy.
I’m so sorry to read this. I’m glad you were together until the end. She loved you so much. <3
