"Many years ago I graduated high school and left for the Marines. I basically never looked back to Washington. Yesterday was one of those few reflective times and the news I found was very sad. Jennifer and I had a quiet friendship, most probably did not know we were friends throughout high school, never more, just good friends. I am so sorry for the loss I can only imagine her family must feel. I lost someone last year and it has yet to ease, my thoughts are with the Lawson's and Jennifer's son."
In loving memory of
Jennifer Lynn Lawson

"Dear Kitty...I'm so sorry about this. I dated Jennifer before I joined the Air Force and she sent me lots of cards and letters when I was in England..that was 1989. I remember meeting you and Jim at your house and how comfortable everything was. I think about Jennifer a lot and I just happened to stumble across this obituary...needless-to-say, I'm shocked. She was a beautiful, fun, friendly person. I miss her! Also, once, she had a pizza delivered to your home when I was there and she had ILLINOIS spelled out in peperoni....it was so sweet. I'm sorry for your loss...she was a great gal. Brian Montgomery (originally Lawrenceville, IL)"
