Jen and I met during the 2022 election cycle. We bonded over our shared social justice values. We would exchange messages about the state of our province and we offered each other support.
As an Arab woman, she reached out to me countless times over the past 16 months, to ask me how my family and I were doing. When I started my new business, she referred a friend to me without hesitation.
Her kindness, gentleness, and warmth were automatic. She treated you as such because she knew: we’re all just humans trying to get through this life.
To Jen’s children and the people that loved her: I know you know what a gift she was. Thank you for sharing her with us. The people we love never leave us as long as we carry them in our hearts.
I will forever carry Jen in my heart and emulate her kindness to everyone I meet.
