What a beautiful Celebration of Life for Jenny. I am Nora's aunt, and although we never formally met Jenny, I feel I have learned so much about who Jenny was, and what a wonderful person she was, and how loved she was by all. May her spirit live on in each and everyone of the people whose lives she touched. Rest in peace Jenny.

This has been the most beautiful, meaningful service I’ve ever experienced. I knew Jenny in high school and we lived together during our first year in Seattle. She is a very special person to me and holds some of my fondest memories. Jenny is such a talented, unique, special person. My love goes out to Charlotte, Jake, and Nora. Much love.

Thank you for the opportunity to join this celebration of our beautiful and talented niece-in-law. It was a privilege to have known this beautiful soul for such a brief time. She leaves behind a legacy of an incredible body of work, but even more important, she leaves a lasting impact on all those she met. She had a sense of self-peace that was a rarity, and you couldn’t help but be touched by her. Be comforted in your memories. Our hearts are with her family, her communities from all over, and with Nora.
