My prayers go to the family. Lord send your comforter and your peace over this family. Send a double portion of love and support during this time. In Jesus Name Amen.
45 years of friendship. Since kindergarten we were classmates, best friends, allies, dance mates and later in life relatives. You fought the good fight sister friend. They say friends are the family we choose. Being chosen by you was the greatest moment of my life and when you passed on it’s the worst moment of my life. Saying goodbye isn’t for us I will say I look forward to seeing you my dearest sister friend again. For now, rest. The battle has ended . Go in peace Jen. You will be missed and will always be remembered.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. You will be missed. Rest now my friend.

Oh, I am shocked and saddened to hear that Jennifer passed away. Sending prayers to the family during this time of sorrow. She was my preceptor at Baytown. Kind, very knowledgeable and a very good teacher. One of the best nurses I worked with.
We all started almost the same time with our new career in the U.S., bonded, and became true friends. We shared our struggles, trials and most of all, so much fun times and a good laugh that cemented our friendship. Even if we’ve moved on to different places, we did not lose contact and our conversations felt like it was as fresh as yesterday. I will miss your laughter my friend specially when you sing songs in the karaoke. To this day, I cannot believe that the person I sat with in Guam will be one of my best friends. Thank you for letting me and the rest of the Barakudas experience the goodness of God in you. You will always be in our hearts. Till we meet again, KABAYAN.
Thank you for everything you never failed to give me pasalubong and always message me how’s pio, malaki na si pio. I never got the chance to say goodbye to you. Praying for you always.
Your memories will remain with us forever. Your beautiful smile will be missed, and you will stay close to my heart. There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart.
I love you Jen.
Our deepest condolences to John, Aaron and the whole family.
It has been an honor knowing Jenny and becoming close friends with her together with Bebs, Robert and Roy. We even call ourselves the “Barakudas” instead of “Barkadas”. We shared so much laughter and tears with Jenny especially during our Baytown days. We all started from scratch as “fresh off the boat immigrants “ in Baytown, Texas. Jenny and John helped me out with babysitting my son Micole and I appreciate that a lot. Her son, Aaron and my son, Micole became good friends when they were little ,as they were almost the same age and were classmates in preschool. Jenny remained close to us even thou we parted ways as I moved to California and the rest of us moved to other states as well, while she stayed in Texas. Our friendship remained solid! We never lost that closeness despite the distance. We had the privilege of visiting her last February and we will never forget the memories we shared .
She is an inspiration to all! Indeed a very passionate, dedicated icu nurse then become the best educator . She managed to fulfill her dreams and obtained Doctorate in Nursing Practice despite her illness. She received so many awards as she continued to educate and have several speaking engagements. She deserves all the awards she got and more as you will seldom find someone as passionate and dedicated as her. People don’t know this, but she also does her own charity work that she traditionally fulfill yearly by helping out unfortunate kids in the Philippines.
Truly an amazing individual and one of a kind!
Her life maybe short but she had a full life and was able to accomplish so much in such a short time! She wished to have lived longer as she still want to do more and help more but God has his own plan. She is now with our Lord God enjoying Heaven!
Jenny we are still in disbelief! You will be missed by so many! I will miss you so much! When it’s my turn to go , i hope you will be there to welcome me. See you in heaven my dear friend! I love you ❤️❤️❤️
Another beautiful soul gone to soon…Rest easy Jen…
May God’s perpetual light shine upon you 🙏❤️🙏
Your life was a blessing
Your memory is a treasure
You are loved beyond words
You will be missed beyond measure…💞
Thoughts and prayers to John and Aaron.
Jen, there are so many things that I will always treasure about you – Your compassion, kindness and love for caring of others only puts a mild dent in the way you cared for your patients, friends & family. You are like no other. My heart currently breaks… til we meet again my friend.
Dear John, Aaron and Andres Family
May you find peace and comfort with the memories of Jen and God be the source of your strength and courage during this time of great sorrow.
Our prayers goes to you and the rest of the family. May the grace of God be with you in the days to come.
I am still in disbelief knowing you are gone Doc. Jen, I will be missing exchanges of messages and the laughter we shared. A dedicated nurse who have lots of dreams and aspirations that made a difference in the field of nursing. So blessed that our path have crossed, we bonded well as we traveled together to represent HMB on several Magnet Conferences, you always have that great ideas churning on how our practices be known through the EBP’s you published. For those who didn’t know, Jen also has a soft heart for kids that were in need and helped sponsor some Charities back in the Philippines. Jen, your fond memories will linger in our hearts,
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
To John and Aaron , Kuya Johnny and Ate Rebecca & the whole family May your find peace and comfort for all the great memories Jen has left behind. Our Condolences to the whole family. May Jen Rest in Peace 🙏 Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Our heartfelt prayers continue for John, Aaron, and family. Jennifer was a shining light in our world. Her love for God and her faith in Him shined brightly through everything she did. It was such a blessing to share friendship throughout the years. She has impacted the lives of many as a friend, nurse, mentor, and nurse educator.
I will miss her late night text messages where we would think of new innovative practices to improve healthcare through evidence-based practice.
Praying God holds your family closely and provides His peace and comfort today and in the days ahead.
Blessings and love,
Kathy and Jeff Arthurs
My dear friend Jenny, my heart is heavy because you’re gone, yet it’s filled with a profound sense of gratitude for having had the privilege to know you and call you my friend. You exhibited a zest for life that was contagious. I can vividly remember when we were both encouraging each other years ago to pursue higher education. Some of our college classmates also shared how you motivated them to go back to school. You have a spirit that was indomitable. You completed your DNP at a time you were battling your illness, top of your class no less!
You’re so beautiful inside and out. You had a unique way of making your friends feel special and valued. You took time to reach out and call/text me every so often. And when we talk, it never seemed like we haven’t seen each other in over 25 years. I will miss our chickahan on just about anything. I will miss your infectious laughter and your incredible kindness. Farewell, my dear Jenny. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I love you.
I love you Jenny. I’m sorry for not fulfilling my promise in visiting you soon. I will always carry in my heart the rich stories of life and love and struggles we often had the chance to tell each other and To which I am very grateful. I have always seen you to be one of the strongest women I have ever met and up to your last days, my heart had been laden with hope that you will get pass this trial and fully recover. My heart was looking forward to seeing you as we ransack outlet stores and eat our hearts out as what we often planned to do. But then again, as we always too discussed, our faith and God always give a different turn from what we originally plan. God has better and brilliant designs and we can only trust. Though my heart burns with sadness, I can only TRUST HIS will and just carry with me for now the memories of laughter and “marites” moments we had. Our viber messages will stay as I would go back to them every once in a while:) 🩷🩷🩷

Jen touched so many lives in the very best way thru her dedication, enthusiasm to teach & share her knowledge esp. to the nurses. I always remember your smile & great ideas in every classes I attended. You are a great educator, a mentor, a friend & my “LODI”. With your kindness, generous spirit & humble heart, when I called you “LODI”, you just said “no, di naman”. When I called you Dr Jen, you replied “ just call me Jen”. You shined so bright like the stars in the sky that the memory of your light will never dim.
LODI Jen, Rest In Peace….
John & Aaron, no words can describe your pain & grief at this time. Your 2 West family are praying for your peace & comfort. Our condolences…

I’m deeply saddened about your passing Jen.. I pray that you find eternal peace where no pain and sorrow can reach you.
It was just a few days ago that you sent me a message about usual things we talked about. I didn’t know it will be the last one of our conversations. You always bring solutions to everyone’s troubles. You have touched so many people’s hearts and bring them joy. You have accomplished great things in life despite your short stay here on earth. You will be missed my dear friend, my fellow Thomasian. Fly high Jen.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
To Andres and Luna family, so sorry for your loss. Praying for strength and comfort during these difficult times.

We will forever be impacted by your passion as a nurse ❤️. God give the Luna family strength here on the earth and allow us to remember all the beauty Jennifer provided us while here on earth.
Eternal rest grant unto Jennifer O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Our deepest sympathy to John, Aaron and family.

Feast your eyes at this Italian-Spanish mestiza who mesmerizes everybody with her effervescent charm, angelic smiles, astounding finesse, and head-turning aural Gifted with brains, beauty and bearing. she’s our sweet angel who puts her sensitivity to good use by being an unofficial guidance counselor to friends.
Equipped with articulate tongue, poignant wit and a brim full of confidence, she instantly makes her presence felt! She redefines every word in the dictionary yet still maintains a down-to-earth (plain-spoken) disposition. Even when she has earned the right to be proud of herself, she still keeps her feet on theground!
What makes guys swoon all over her? Never has anyone attracted guys so easily as she does! Her secret? Appeal, Attitude and an air of mystery!
My deepest condolences, for the family. I had the privilege to have met Luna, she was an amazing woman and she will be missed deeply. I learned so much from her, not only as a mentor but as a person. I admired her so much for her knowledge, and courage, she was such a fighter. She will alway be in my heart.
Condolence to you John and Aaron, may you will find comfort in the memories you have dearly shared together with Jen. Today I will remember Jenn as a passionate educator and she showed it by her enthusiasm and expertise. We will miss Jen’s kind of teaching, and above all her jolly personality. Her life maybe short but she had a long legacy she so generously shared to her colleagues. We will miss you Jenn, may the God Lord welcome you in His Paradise, rest easy my dear friend.
She was just a beautiful human being. She was a soft but bright shining light.
I am shocked and saddened to hear that Jennifer passed away. Sending prayers to
the family during this time of sorrow. She was Kind, very knowledgeable and had a million dollar smile. R.I.P our sweet Jennifer
John & Aaron, my heart breaks for you both. Jennifer was an amazing human being. I wish I was half the person she was. Not only did she achieve much but her love for you both was evident. She had the most beautiful smile & a glowing spirit. We mourn with you but send our love & strength to you both. God bless you😘🙏🙏🙏 Nancy & Johnny Massengill
John and Aaron,
I’m so incredibly sad to learn about Jen’s passing. She was an incredible support for hundreds, if not thousands, of other premed parents in our support group. I will cherish the memories of our friendship, messages, and how she kindly supported others. She always looked for the goodness in others and brought a thoughtful perspective to every situation. I will miss her light of positivity. My heart goes out to you both, as the world has lost an incredibly brilliant woman.
Aaron, she was always so proud of you and your accomplishments. She was so excited for your future. May you always remember her for the love she had for you. Making food for you was one of her greatest ways to show you her support.
Bless you both as you navigate your great loss. I will miss her friendship so much.
