Jen – you were a dear friend to me and all of us in the running community and in our close-knit group. I still can’t accept that you are not with us. We had so many unfinished things yet to do. (I want to tell you how it’s going with my young pupil that you had such good advice about last week when I last saw you—I talked too much about this little child but you genuinely cared, and you liked solving dilemmas—You had such good advice about everything.
Thank you for the miles shared, the trips, the hikes, the races, RunSwimScone (you were our most faithful attendee of our Wednesday morning 5-mile runs around Old Wethersfield), the bike rides, the kayak excursions, the parties, the dinners, the dances….you were there for it all. We will miss you so much.
But you’re with God now, and that is a much-more amazing place to be, where there IS all joy and peace and health and love. So, we’ll bid adieu for now, dear friend, and see you later, in the heavenly realms.
Sending love to her children who were her everything. I know she would want you to be joyful, and be at peace. She was your rock but she would also want to say, it’s going to be ok. You’re going to be ok. She loved you all so dearly, but you’ve got this.
We love you Jen,
Wanda (and Dave) Hoople
