daggiesmom Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 To All My Friends, I haven't posted in a few days. On Thursday, my beautiful 23 year old daughter Jennifer passed away suddenly. She had suffered with seizures since she was 7, she had a brain operation at 19 in an attempt to stop them, but unfortunately they continued. She had gone out for her "power walk" around the neighborhood and came home. She told her father she was hot and was going to take a shower. After a while, Brian knocked on the door and asked was she ok. When she didn't respond, he went in and found her in the tub. He tried to recesitate her, but she was already gone. The M.E. said her brain had given out irregular electrical signals which caused her heart to stop immediately. She felt no pain. Her funeral mass is Tuesday at 10:15. Please pray for Jennifer, she was truly a wonderful person, and she was also a survivor. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyd Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Dear Joanie, Please accept my deepest sympathy. I can not image how devastating the lose of a child would be. It really hit home with me. My beautiful daughter had petty mal seizures as a teenager and then at 22 had a grand mal. Thank God, medication has kept her seizure free for over 15 months. But you never know. Please know that I am thinking and praying for your whole family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
