I have a plastic, container store lapdesk of Jen´s, too.
I didn´t mention it because I´ll never part with it. Even though I´m moving and in kind of a weird, chaotic state, in between places, I have it with me now.
She´d put a few stickers on it and I´ve added some over the years. One of the clasps is broken, but it´s held up pretty good.
Like I told you, Carey, I loved her and have thought of her almost every day for the past twenty years. I can´t believe it´s been that long!
I know I´m not the only one who thinks of her often. Everyone liked Jen, because she was sweet and had a pure soul. I know she is remembered by many. Some of them have left messages here, but there are others who never did and hold her in their hearts all the same.
She was beautiful, inside and out. I´ve tried to be more like her, but never could pull it off. I´m not sure what happens after this life, but I hope I see her again because I have so much to tell her!
You should receive that package tomorrow, Carey. xo

A few days ago I got a message from a friend of yours. She is downsizing and moving. As such, she is mailing the pink hat you used to wear all the time to me.
You made such an impression on so many people that more than 20 years later, they are still holding onto, or meaningfully re-homing your most treasured possessions.
Happy birthday (yesterday).
I love you.
Your little sister.

Another year celebrating your entrance into this dimension, acknowledging the profound effect that your being here would subsequently make for those who had the good fortune to meet you and be part of your life this time around.
While we miss your physical presence, we know that you are STILL making a difference in SO many lives.
That is just part of who you are - and your spirit's gift to those who allow it into their life.
You are, as always, loved and appreciated.
Thank you for being...

October 5, 2018
Another anniversary of one of the most important days in my life - that of when you came into physical form here on the planet with us. All the days you were here, were precious. Knowing you are STILL here, just not physical makes easier to handle your physical absence. We love and miss you, but are comforted by that part of you that is always here with us. Hope you're having some great conversations with your grandmother, Bonnie, now that she has gone on be a perpetual light for us. Love you always. 8^)

i finally made good on that promise and got that tattoo - it's beautiful, like you. for me, your memory is wrapped up in this place and that time. so, i think of you, on this day more than others. i find comfort in the collective grief and the remembrance of how much was lost. though it's true that time heals all wounds, i'll love and miss you forever.

Jen, you were the shopping queen, even better than I who trained you. (smile) You'd be happy to see the deal I got for you, on the lake at Memorial Park. It's shiny and has lots of bling and a great view. It will be even more blingy soon. I'll let you know. Love, Mom

It's a new year, Jen, with lots of stuff going on. Wish you were here to share in it with us, but I know that you are smiling down on us. Hope you are having fun with the grandpas.

Hello Beautiful Girl! I know it is technically after midnight, but dad & I have been thinking and talking about you all day, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I started a whole new 'chapter' of my life today and when I considered today's date, it could not have happened on a better day! Thank you for your love & inspiration and for being a part of every courageous step I make. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy the journey, live with passion, & to simply love - as that is all that truly matters in this adventure we call life... You are and always will be an inspiration in my life!
Love, T

You're almost 30. I wish you were here so I could make you feel old. My divorce is final, so I'm a Hartmann again, and so proud of the name. I love you and miss you deeply. It saddens me that we haven't had any adventures in my dreams lately. Love always, Carey.

Hi Jen, Michael and I spent your birthday in the Boston area, with 11 other friends (and Aunt K and Don) from church. Although we were far from home for 2 weeks, you were close to our hearts and minds all of the time. I'm glad that you were a bright star in our lives, if only for a short while. Happy Birthday, Jen, I love and miss you all of the time. Mom

Happy Birthday, Jennifer!! Though you taught US by example that EVERY day is special and is to be treasured. I'm glad that you've moved on to what for you is a better place, but I'm also glad for those of us whom you've taught to appreciate every moment we're alive - and to be sure to LIVE, while we ARE here. Thank you SO very much for the time you spent here, and all the inspiration you have been and continue to be in my life. Though I miss your physical presence, I know that you are still with us - in our hearts and minds - speaking directly to our souls. I love you!

Hi Jen, Just wanted to let you know that Suzie got married on Saturday. I know it could have been a sad day for us, because we miss you so much, but it became a happy day. I know that's what you would have wanted. Suzie is not such a tomboy anymore and she made a beautiful and happy bride. Hopefully you got to see her, too. I love you! Mom

Hi Beautiful!
It is so wonderful to know that anytime we think about you in joy, you are still very much with us - as there is no true death, only eternal life!
Just as you promised in the the song you gave to me, I know in my heart that you are with us always and know that when we are laughing, smiling, allowing more and more joy into our lives, living each day to the fullest, and realizing our dreams - like mom & Mike getting their North Carolina place (yaaayy!!)- we are truly honoring your wishes for us and we are providing the best tribute we can offer you!
I love you so very much now and ever, and am so grateful for everything you gave (and give) to me. You know, once I got past my feeling sad and mourning that your transition inspired me in a profound way - beyond anything I had ever felt before - to truly enjoy this life, to not be afraid to take risks, to seek adventure, and to follow my bliss.
...and the thought of you celebrating these successes with me - and every one of us - from your "higher" vantage point, just makes me want to keep going for more!
So like you, (and every time I think of you) I intend to continue to focus on the beauty in the world, find the humor in the goofy things that happen, always honor all things pink, bling, and fabulous, and have as much fun as possible!
With so much love (but you know that!)
Step mom/big sis, "T"

To Jennifer's Family:
I just wanted to tell you that everytime someone makes an entry in this guest book I read it and remember what a great person Jennifer was. Time has gone by and, I now have a family of my own. I can't imagine the sorrow a mother has missing a daughter. My heart goes out to you!
I knew Jennifer to be a sweet girl and fun to be around. I wish her loved ones peace in knowing she is in heaven.
June 17, 2009
Hi Jen, it finally happened! Mike and I went to North Carolina and found a small property for a vacation place. It's only a single wide trailer on an acre, but it's our trailer on our acre. A very big part of it is missing, though, YOU! We want you with us there. You would love it.
Love, Mom

Hi again, Jen.
It's Mom.
We all missed you very much during the holidays, and of course we miss you every day. There is so much going on lately. Andy and Beth got married and then 10 days later, Michael and I left with the Rounders to march in the Macy's Parade. We had a baby-bridal-baby shower before all of the goings-on because of the wedding and Jessica and Kristine both expecting within weeks of each other. Both of them have healthy boys now, but I'm sure you saw the babies before they did! (smile).
I am going to put a bench in a nice place at Memorial Park when it is ready. I want it to be near my grandpa and eventually Grandma. It must be under a tree with pink flowers, so I am working that out with the home.
There is a new band here now, at Eckerd college, called New Horizons and it's for people my age and older. (much older) Mike joined to learn the sax and then we both decided that it would be very special (I hope) if I learned to play your french horn. I played Claire du' Lune on it last night. Hopefully I'll get lots better.
Anyway, I love and miss you so much every day, even though I know that you are in a better place.
Love, Mom
Sheryl

Hi Jen,
Just wanted to let you know that I will wear pink to church tonight in honor of your birthday. Things are moving very fast around here lately. Andy and Beth's wedding is only a month away and Jana moved to Orlando for her new job, with all of their belongings, so Tony and she commute back and forth now. He is living with us until he finishes school. Jana's birthday is on Tuesday.
Carey got a great job in D.C and starts tomorrow and Alisa got a job at a new vet on Friday. We all miss you very much in the middle of all these goings on and there should have been a crazy birthday party in there somewhere. We Love You Jen!
All my Love, Mom

just realized I wrote that I "where" your ring rather than that I "wear" your ring. I'm sure you would have corrected me, but instead I'll correct myself. That's what happens when you don't re-read, huh?

Yesterday slipped right by and I never even realized it was the 29th. I where your high school ring everyday, it's the only piece of jewelry I've ever been able to not lose. I miss you all the time, but I do my very best not to be sad when I think and dream of you.

Hi Jen, It's the 4th of July. I wrote a letter last week, but for some reason it didn't go through, so here it is again. We went to NC for Jason and Katie's wedding and had a good time sightseeing and relaxing for most of the week (with Mike's kids and the girls and Z). We are getting ready for Andy and Beth's wedding now. I was going through all of our pictures for their slideshow for the reception and realized how much stuff we did together as a family. You are so much in our memories, thoughts and prayers all of the time, especially when the family is all together. Carey is still in Kentucky and seems to be having fun. Jana got a job in Orlando, so Tony will be living with us for a year and Z is growing fast. We all miss and love you.

It has been about 6 years since I've see you last. I still find it hard to believe. I was not that close to you but close enough to write. I believe you are in a better place and I think about you from time to time. You were a great touch to this world and now I feel you are at where you have to be. I miss you - a friend. ROCK ON!!

Happy birthday Jen. It was hard making it through the day, but your dad and I spoke on the phone about the funny things you used to do on your birthday and we smiled over it. Remember how excited you would get before a party and I would have to threaten to cancel it if you didn't calm down? Remember your 4th and 5th parties with all of our friends in Alabama and Texas? What about your 8th, when I got to know Alisa at your slumber party? Remember wrecking you car in Tampa while we were all sitting around the table in St. Pete wondering where you were? Of course you did make it to your party that year too (all in one piece). Remember your Austin Powers party for your 18th? Anyway, we all remember your birthday every year and miss you dearly. We hope you are happy on your birthdays still, too.
All My Love, Mom

Not a week goes by that T and I don't see or hear someone who reminds us SO much of you - and it is especially comforting when it is a little girl who has the same voice you had at that age and you can see that same *sparkle* in her eyes - feeling and knowing that the world "down here" still has some people around who are as awesome as you! This anniversary of the day the world was blessed to have you join it, we are still (as always) wishing you were here to talk to directly, but we're also certain that you know how much you are missed and have always been cherished. Thank you again, for taking the time you did to be with us. We love you!
September 4, 2007
These past two years have been the toughest of my life. How often have I wished you were still here to talk to? You were such a good listener. Last week was especially hard. Sometimes, I'll see a girl that looks like you and for a fraction of a second I'll think, "Jen?" Of course, it's never you, but just for that moment my heart flutters with inconceivable hope. I don't know what happens after this life, but I'd like to think that someday I will see you again and you'll be wearing that beautiful smile. I still miss you every day. Love you, pretty girl. xo

Hi Jen,
We miss you every day, but especially today (August 29). I am glad that we have a wonderful support group of family and friends to help with the rough days. Andy and Beth got engaged recently and that's exciting news. Beth has special plans to remember you and Grandpa and her grandmothers during their wedding. Zack knows you too, from your pictures. You are never forgotten and always loved.
With all my love, Mom

Jen,
I graduated this past Sunday (May 6, 2007) with my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Policy. We missed you at the party, but you were in the family photo, which included ALL of the brothers and sisters, including Jackie, Sean, and Destiny alond with Alisa, Tony, and Andy. I think it was the first. The only siblings missing (other than your photo) were you and Patrick. I'm looking into different universities that have a good Geophysics program so I can continue with my education. Hopefully in four or five years, your little sister will be the first Dr. Hartmann,
I love you, I miss you

I Love You Jen,
Just wanted to let you know that Carey will be graduating on Sunday with her Bachelor's in Environmental Science and that my band (the Rounder's) got accepted to march in the Macy's parade in 2008. We are all doing well, but miss you so much. Our family photos look so much different now than a couple of years ago. There is a baby in them now, with his father, and two future daughter-in-laws....(most likely), but you are so missed those shots. Carey held a picture of you in her birthday photo this year. I will send it to your dad to post. We all went to opening Devil Ray's game to celebrate.
Jen, we miss you every day and the empty place in our hearts and in our family gatherings never goes away.
I Love You Still....
Love, Mom.

I Love You Jen!
Even though you were not with us in body this 2nd Christmas without you, your presence was all around and always will be.
There is actually a funny story that I'm sure you had a hand in. Because of moving and still trying to find places for things in a smaller house, I couldn't find the blue lights that I put on our tree last year when I decorated it in your ornaments and the ones you gave me. Anyway, I sent Mike to the store to get more rather than spending hours looking for them and he picked up the blue "crystal" ones to replace them. THEN! he saw the purple ones instead and thought I would like them better, as they were white, dark purple and light purple on the same strand. He put the blue ones down and bought the purple and came home triumphantly.
When I put the purple ones on the tree and turned them on, they were HOT PINK! We now have a VERY Jennifer tree AGAIN! Now, doesn't that seem like SOMEONE told Mike to put down the blue lights and pick up the others....with a big silly grin on HER face? I miss you Jen, and that beautiful smile.
With Love, Mom

Hey,
I didn't realize this site was still up. I'm glad it is. I dreamt about you on your birthday. I think we went shopping, I don't remember completely. But you called me and gave me hell about not calling you on your birthday, and I tried to explain why I hadn't called, but my explanation didn't make much sense to you since you were, after all, standing right there in fornt of me. Anyway, we had fun.
Happy Birthday and I love you,

Just got back from a trip to Sedona, Arizona, and even THERE we ran into a couple of people who SO reminded us of you - and also one who looked like she could have been one of your friends (and was even from TAMPA!).
T wore pink in honor of the 'Queen of Pink!' today, and something that's really neat is we are remembering you with "smiles and laughter" rather than feeling sad. Perhaps it is because to us you are so very much alive in so many things we see and experience every day - and always will be, as your bright beautiful spirit has no end.
We love you.

Happy Birthday Jennifer!
I thought you might like to know that "The Little Mermaid" has been re-mastered and re-released just in time for your birthday. Alisa is going to buy it for Zack and watch it with Carey and I, and maybe Beth. You would love Beth. I really hope she becomes our daughter someday. You two would have really had a blast together. Hopefully you DO know her.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it through the movie, because I haven't been able to listen to the Mermaid music since you left us. I have most of your mermaid collectibles in a display case in our living room, but some things went to a friend of your dad's that had little girls that love the Little Mermaid too. I also gave your sisters and aunts and Grandma each little keepsakes of yours to remind them of you each time they see them. I miss you so much sweetheart that I can't stand it, but I know that you are at peace.
Do they have birthday cake up there? Bye for now! Love, mom

Still missing your physical presence, but knowing that you ARE - always... is a great comfort. Therese and I went to dinner for our anniversary last night and there was a lady playing the piano (and occasionally singing) in the next room. Just as we were getting ready to leave, she started singing 'Think of Me' from Phantom of the Opera - we sat stunned by the waves of feelings - and of COURSE, thought of you... A part which particularly struck us, was a couple of lines that we thought we'd never heard in that song before. I've since found out WHY we'd never heard them that way. They were recorded from a specific solo concert performance by Sarah Brightman (in Tokyo). Of the four lines, the first two are different from the well known Original London Cast recordings. Due to the copyright of the lyrics I am not allowed to quote them here (that is why this entry is not showing up from when I originally posted it on September 22). But anyone can look up the lyrics from the Tokyo performance on the internet if they are interested. - - We miss you. (Oh, and by the way - would have much preferred hearing YOU sing that song again - you kicked this chick's BUTT!!) - -
- On a lighter note...I've not yet found a suitable alternative for this guestbook to be run directly on http://jenniferhartmann.com so I've sponsored this guestbook for another year.
We love you, Jennifer!

I dreamt about you again last night. We always have these amazing adventures in my dreams. This time we had a winnabego and we were driving around the country. I always tell you that I was worried, and I remember that you passed, but it was some kind of misunderstanding, and that you were just MIA. At least we still have a blast in my dreams.
I love you

I'm running late, as usual! There's so much I want to say! So many good memories of you! I guess it all boils down to: I love you and I miss you. Sometimes, I brood about it, but then one of our friends will remind me that you wouldn't want me cryin'. Then I can just see you telling me to knock it off and that sweet sweet face of yours and how you always could make me smile, and I do. :o) :o) :o) Love you!

Hi Jennifer!! We love you and miss you - but understand that you are where you need to be - and that others are getting the benefit of your immediate presence (though we know that you are never too far away from us, either). T & I just sat and talked to you and God and then T sang "Pink Flowers" (more for me than you) - you know what it says more than anyone - as you helped to write it! 8^) It IS such a help though for me to hear those words and remember that you'd most appreciate being remembered with smiles, laughter, and song. Again, thank you for the time you shared with us while you were here and the time you continue to share with us through our thoughts and dreams of you.
8^)! Daddy

Hi honey bunny! I've never used that expression before - I wonder where that came from??? Weird...
I've been wearing your silver kitty cat earrings for the last few days and lots of pink things have continued to find their way into our home! Dad & I just found a calculator on his desk that said "Stolen from Jennifer Hartmann" and enjoyed quite a great belly laugh! Your wit and sense of humor is such a gift that continues to bring us peace and comfort. I'm sure you are busy at play right now, so I will wrap it up here, but just know how much we both miss you, love you and are SO proud of you for setting such a fine example of living with reckless abandon and passion - you have been more of an inspiration and driving force behind what I do than anyone can ever imagine. I love you girlie-girl-queen-of-pinkness!

Sister/daughter:
This is from Mom and Carey, we both decided to miss you at the same time, so we're writing.
Mom found a million pictures of you, and we have been going through those. Pretty soon several of them will be going up on your rememberance site for all to see (and go "Awwww").
It seems like it hasn't been a year already, but it also seems like it has been forever, because we miss you so much everyday. Sometimes we think about it and wonder how it could possibly have been so long ago, and some days seem like forever all by themselves.
We hope you are watching us and we are sure that you are never far away. We also hope you are happy, peaceful, healthy, and well, and we try our hardest to be happy and peaceful without you here on Earth. While we still miss you and feel more sorrow than you can imagine, we try to remember you with smiles, and find every opportunity to talk anout the stories that make us laugh.
Beth (Andy's girlfriend) wishes she had the chance to meet you, but she has heard so much about you, that it's like she did.
Also (this one's from Carey) I've been playing a lot of pool, and several of your old friends also play. They all miss you very much, and talk to me often about old stories from Tyrone and Bogie. They all loved you so much, and you should know how many lives you impacted and how many hearts belong to you in many shapes and forms.
(Mom specifically) misses your sweet voice (and anyone who knew you knew how truly sweet it was) and your radiant smile. You always lit up the whole room, and we realized going through old pictures that every one of your photos is beautiful.
You are truly loved, and missed, and celebrated.
Love ALWAYS
Mom and Sister

I just read the entries about your cell-phone number. I occasionally dial your number by accident when I am trying to call a friend of mine with a similar (813) phone number. I guess your number is second nature to me. I miss you, and I love you. You should know that mom is on a cruise in Alaska... she finally got to do something for herself.

My last message was for Jennifer, but this is for all of her friends. Thank-you all for your kind and loving words to and for her. Her friends were so important to her, as I'm sure they still are.
I am sending a request to all who read this, to please keep your eyes open for her school jacket and senior yearbook. I am not sure if she had them in Tampa or New Orleans, but they were special to her and to us. Her jacket is dark blue wool, with all of her patches and pins on it and from Boca Ciega High School, as is her yearbook full of autographs.
If anyone can remember seeing her with these things, please let me know so that we can bring them home.
Also, please don't hesitate to email me just to say, "Hi" if you want to.
With Love to All,
Jen's mom.
