Dad says
My heart is broken from your early passing Jenny. We shared 39 years together with you as our first born child. I watched your heart beating in your mom’s belly 39 years ago and was so excited to be a new father. And I watched as your heart stopped beating earlier this week and it tore me apart. I’m still numb from head to toe.
You made me proud in so many ways. I loved coaching you in softball and soccer. I enjoyed fishing with you and always being showed up by your bigger fish. Your beautiful smile always made me happy and that laugh of yours…. unreal and so contagious.
You were always good at everything you tried and put you mind too. You were so talented and I envied you and bragged about you all the time.
I love you to the end of the Galaxy and back and always will.
You were always an awesome mom to your three kids and I loved how you always showed such unconditional love for the kids and others. Your brother Ryan and sister Lisa always looked up to you which is something we both took pride in.
Rest assured I will do all I can to help your children grow up to be as funny, kind, and loving as you always were. I can already see your smartness in Caiden, your athleticism in Hunter, and your kindness in McKenna. I told McKenna that we had something in common between us which was that we were all first born children and she liked that.
Your kids were truly blessed to have you as their mom and I was blessed when God and Kay brought you into this world for me to love.
Rest in peace sweetheart and say hi to my mom, dad, and Doug in heaven.
Melissa and Chris Spelbrink says
Chris and I are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
She was a bright flame that was extinguished way too soon. Sending love!
