Jenni's Journey at Its End

 For Jenni Lake and her family

I never knew who you were, but your story touched me.
Just like I'll never know the inner pain you felt as the cancer slowly took you away.
I'll never know the thoughts going through your mind as you fell into a never-ending sleep.

Even in death, you still touch hundreds of hearts of the struggles in your journey.
You fought and fought until the end, you were at war, but in the end you really won.
 You had love...
Love from your oldest sister...
Love from your family...
Love from your friends...
And most of all love from your baby boy for years to come.

Cancer will never feel that kind of love.
As we mourn for you, we'll all have a secret smile on our faces because you are in a better place.

My message for Ashlee, paint a smile on your face and remember every chance you get the things you two did.
Smile, love, and know we are there for you.
