PEACE Love Jennifer you will be cherished.
Condolences to the Bunch family. You are in my prayers
I never had the honor of meeting your mother Maddie, but I have met her children and that’s a beautiful reflection of the person that she was. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of Jennifer. She was always so kind and thoughtful. May you find comfort and peace in the memories. My deepest condolences to all the family.
I’m so terribly sad to hear about Jens passing. Her and I met in cosmetology school in 1999 & clicked immediately- (might of been because we were both redheads.) We were like soul sisters and always had so much fun together. As we older things changed and it’s been 10 years since we last saw each, other but I never stopped loving her or cherishing our memories. I was shook when Madi contacted me and told me of her passing. My heart goes out to Dean, Madi, Chase, her grandbabies and the rest of her family. May you all be comforted knowing she is in a better place and her undying love for you is everlasting. She will always be your biggest guardian angel. Hugs and peace 🕊️. Fly high JB, I will always remember you. 🙏😇♥️
Jen was the best BFF anyone could ever ask for. Growing up, she was my rock. There was no one who liked to have more fun than she did. Thinking back on those days, I realize how blessed I am, how blessed we all were, to know her, to love her, and to be loved by her. There has never been and will never be anyone else on this planet like her. She was the laugh at the end of a hard day that you didn’t know you needed until it was there, she was your biggest cheerleader and your biggest fan, she was the hostess with the mostess, the always ride or die, and the lift to your spirits that helped you take flight. Her excitement was contagious, and no one knew how to do excitement quite like Jen. You could feel it from a million miles away, and when she was happy, there was nothing that could keep you from being happy for her. She was as precious and as rare as the Hope Diamond, but, and of this I am certain, she shone so much more brightly than it could ever dream. May she fly high above our heads, soaring to the heights only she could reach, until the time comes when we meet again, dear friend. May her memory be a blessing and a comfort to all who loved her; it is now our only good grace to have a new angel watching over us and keeping us safe.
“I’m gonna free fall out into nothin’. Gonna leave this world for a while.”
Much love always, Lisa
