Jenny you will always have a place in our hearts! Me and Joves are going to miss you with all our hearts!

Why does it always seem like when a big truck is involved in a crash it always worded or said in a way that makes it the trucks fault when the accident report and or investigation has not been completed or released by the authorities

At this point who cares who fault it is. A sweet young lady was taken way to soon! May God be with her family during this time!

thank you Annamarie for what you wrote, i am her aunt and Jenny was a very special young lady and we are not so sure how to go on without her. My husband (her uncle) is also a truck driver so i can't even imagine what that man is going through knowing that she died. My heart goes out to him too even while my heart is breaking over the loss of my neice. She was a sewwt and talented girl and is missed terribly. again, thank you for your comment

I agree AnnMarie. Cathy and the rest of Jenny's family, my heartfelt sympathies! I was at the scene shortly after the accident as i live just a stones throw away and couldn't get through. I can't stop thinking about any of it! My heart aches for you! I truly hope her mother Sherry finds the comfort and strength in her family and friends to carry foward, i cam't imagine the grief! May God be with you all! Praying for all who were touched by this!

R.I.P. didn't know who she was, but no mother or father should have to bury their child!

The dog was returned today. Small compensation to the family who has lost an integral part to their family. The focus shouldn't be who is to blame but on the life that was cut short at 16. Not sure why people are focused on that aspect of this story.

Is there a memorial fund? Sympathies to the family.

Amy... yes there is a memorial for Jenny to help with the funeral expenses.

Thank you, Heidi!

Thank you all for your kind words, the grief is almost too muct to have to deal with. she was a special young lady and is missed by ALOT of people. Our family thanks all of you.

I have a special prayer time on my way to work each day. I will include this family in my prayers. God Bless everyone touched by this young girl.

I have been reading all this since I seen the accident on the way to taking my Husband to work. What everyone has post here is I suppose what the public does and how they react to things that doesnt involve them. Everyone has lost sight in the fact that it doesnt matter whos fault it is, all that matters is there was a Horrible accident and a Life was lost as a result. No fight , no discussion, no amount of Money can bring this Young Lady back. She now walks with the Angels. I will not even try to go into the idea that God calls us home in Our time, and in his manner, as I have grown to see Alot of people are lost to that beleif.
My Prayers go out to ALL INVOLVED in this horrific time. And know this if you know nothing else. Accidents are called accidents because thats what they are ACCIDENTS. and the he said she said will never change that.
Walk in gods light, and know hes with you, as are my prayers.

My post was days after the accident, Just goes to show you some readers read out of context and shouldnt post if they have no clue on what they are talking about.

im was jenny best friend and she was really nice and she always had a smile on her face even if she was mad at you \
WE MISS YOU JENNY AND WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH
always Jessica Miles
