      Type: Loss of a Friend

      Hi, I am Jennifer's friend, one of hundreds who miss her funny laugh, her encouragement and her light. She was a victim of a bully while alive and of domestic violence in her death - he murdered her in Sept. 2007. We had many plans that won't happen now. I am involved in the prosecution of the main who basically tried to cut off her head and left her to bleed to death. The story is in the media constantly. The trial starts in less than a month and I will (God-willing) participate.
