My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I went to high school with Jenn and always looked up to her. The last time I spoke with her, she was giving me encouraging words knowing my mother was fighting her own battle with cancer. She was so thoughtful, kind and very strong. May you have the strength to celebrate her life and have peace knowing she made the world a better place. Love, Jen - and in the words of my daughter, Jayna who is friends with Aubri - may Jenn Rest in Paradise.

To Jenn's Family, Jenn was my daughter Courtney's dance teacher. She was such a kind, fun and fair instructor. She made each girl feel special and never made them feel like they were not as good as others, it didn't matter to Jenn how well they could dance. She taught them to have self confidence and pride in each dance she taught to them but most important she made it fun for them and my daughter will never forget her for that!!! I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss and may all of you find comfort in knowing she is smiling down on you. Rest in peace beautiful angel.

I am so fortunate that our paths were able to cross because we both shared the love of dance. As I watched Jenn perform through the yrs at talent shows and competitions, I always admired her strength, power and ability. She always had a smile that took center stage and she owned it. I was glad to get to know her better when I started teaching at Missy�s. Although she had her strong side, I got to know what a wonderful, sweet, kind and true woman she was. Although, we didn�t stay in touch much other than the few comments on face book, following her posts over the years I saw how much she loved her family and what a wonderful friend she was to so many. I prayed for her and the entire family throughout and will continue to do so as will so many people whose lives Jenn touched. Deepest Sympathy, Lisa Poole

There are so many words to describe just how wonderful a person Jennifer was but the best one I believe is genuine. She definitely had a heart of pure gold and personality to match! The memory of her smile will forever live in my heart and I pray it brings comfort to the family and friends during this time. Be at peace now beautiful.

Norm, Elise & Tara: My thoughts and prayers are with you all right now during this unfair time. I haven't seen Jenn or spoken to her, outside of Facebook, for a long time, but her beauty and strength always remained a part of who she was. To her husband and beautiful children, my thoughts and prayers are with you all too. I hope she is resting peacefully and you are all able to reflect on the love she clearly brought into so many lives. I have never seen so many people have so many wonderful memories of one person - you are blessed to call her daughter, sister, wife and mom. I am honored to have known her. I know she will live on. <3 Becca

To all of Jenn's family, we send our sincere sympathy. We knew Jenn from Missy's Dance Studio. Jennifer was such a sweet, young lady, and so kind to the younger girls. A few years ago I reconnected with Jenn at Starkdale. I was not surprised that she had grown into a beautiful woman and loving mother. Please know you all will be in our prayers. I just know that heaven is a little bit sweeter today. May your memories bring you comfort. Sincerely, Bob and Cindy Sagrilla

It's so very hard to believe and harder to have to say goodbye to someone who was filled with so much life and laughter. Jenn was so good with kids, my daughter adored her, and so did I. It is with much sadness and the heaviest of heart for me to say, "Rest in peace, beautiful, beautiful girl. Love you." Deanne, Josh and Melody.

May she have everlasting life through Jesus Christ, pur savior and may all of you know her love and beautiful eternally. I am so very sorry for all of you.

To The Bogards: I just want to express my deepest sympathy to Elise, Norm and Tara. The Bogards were my neighbors growing up and we were so fortunate to have such a great family right next door. To this day, I can still picture Jenn in the back yard with a smile on her face with the dogs in the backyard. Later as the years would go by I would run into kids who I coached in little league that wanted to know if I lived next door to "Jenn Bogard" because they all had a crush on her. Like a big brother I would tell them that if I hear anything bad about the way they treated her, they'd be in trouble with me. The years would go by and you get older--move away-- take on new adventures-- but my mom would constantly keep me updated on Jenn and Tara and how they were doing and how they got married, had kids, and the sucesses in their lives. It was always great news and made you shake your head knowing that Norm and Elise did such a great job raising two wonderful daughters. I will never forget Jenn nor will I ever forget the kindness of the Bogard family and how they have helped my mom and how we we were so lucky to have them just a house or a phone call away. I am truly thinking of you guys and hope that you know that these responses by others on here and on Facebook really show how loved Jenn was. She made an impact on a lot of people. My prayers go out to you Bo, Elise and Tara and to her husband and kids. God Bless all of you.

To the Bogard and DiCarlo families, I send my deepest sympathies. My heart is truly saddened today as I think back on Jenn. What a beautiful genuine woman she was. Her smile was so pretty and as you can tell there was no one who didn't know her or she hadn`t touched with her heart in some way. Jenn, I first met you at Merle Normans, and I knew you are one special person. Your laughter and smile was so wonderful to be around. No wonder God has gained one AWESOME woman. May both families know that Jenn truly was loved by so many. Their is no words or hugs or anything that can describe your pain or how you feel but know that Jenn was a friend to many. My sincere sympathies. Jamie Jackson
