Dear Jeremy, 2017 brought immeasurable loss to both of us. And just last night I thought, I need to ask Kim if shes heard from Jeremy lately. Then I open my email this morning and find this Legacy. Coincidence? Perhaps not. Know that I grieve with you. And every year, either Kim or I are sure to bake brownies for the Cup with a layer of Hersey bar in the middle. Then we remember Jenny when we bite into the extra goodness melted in the sun. Thats who Jenny was: extra goodness. Blessings, Nancy Wylie

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Jenni from Holy Cross Episcopal on Sullivan's Island. We were in Sunday School together. And we were also in Wando High School band together. She was such a positive person and great role model. It is amazing to see how many lives she touched. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Barbara, Bob and Jeremy,
I am so very sorry to hear of Jenni's passing. Jenni was such a bright spirit- giving, encouraging, kind. A cheerleader for so many and a true teacher at heart. I am grateful for her strong example and leadership during my high school days as a Wando band-mate and also at USC in the band there. I am so sad to hear that she is gone, but very grateful to have known her. God bless you and wrap His arms around you during this difficult time.

So very sorry for your loss, God needed another special angel, so he called her home. God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jenni was my Big Sister, my college roommate, my Matron of Honor, my best friend. I am reminded of her influence every day, whether I'm wearing pearls, baking cookies, playing music, drinking tea, crafting, or if I use anything monogrammed (and I have plenty of it from her!). Most importantly, she taught me how to live intentionally and love unconditionally. My life was forever changed having had her in it.

I will miss you forever, sweetie. Thank you for every moment.
