Jennifer was a beautiful girl with a loving heart. She fought the good fight and now is at peace resting in the comforting arms of our Lord. To love Jennifer and be loved by her was very special.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered or quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury. Love does not delight over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love perseveres through all things. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13: 4-7)
Family will receive friends during the evening from 5 O’clock to 8 O’clock on Wednesday, January 30, 2013, at the Marriott Courtyard, 1725 W. Filmore, Harlingen, Texas.
