After graduating from Rockville High School, Jennifer went on to work, at Michelle's Florals & Gifts. The owner, Michelle Kobs, was always like a second mother to Jennifer. There Jennifer found, she had a true calling and gift, for floral design and arrangements. Through that love and hard work, she purchased her own home, where she enjoyed her gardens, cats, birds, kayaking on the pond, and even occasionally, ice-fishing.

Jennifer embraced Roald Dahl's quote every day of her life, "There Are No Strangers in here, Just Friends You Haven't Met."

We know she is finally at peace, and now able to dance in puddles and chase rainbows.
