Praying for peace for the Darwin family during this very difficult time.
My fondest memories with Jennifer was the pool parties at you house in Seabrook. She was a planner, she orchestrated those events masterfully. There never was a dull moment and she made sure everyone was having a great time, left-right center set up in the driveway and who can forget those watermelon and vodka shots for everyone. Jennifer will be truly missed and never forgotten. My deepest
condolences to the Darwin family and
God bless you all.
Our family has a huge void in it now. We all loved Jennifer so very much and we will always remember her and the love she had for Steve and the rest of the family. Prayers for all of us as we look to a future without Jennifer in it. Our hearts are broken. 💔. Rest in Peace dear Jennifer.
