Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 3

[CinRell]

Thanks, Sha.... if you guys want to go with a theme or have any good ideas I'd love it. If not, I'll just come up with a little something after things calm down a bit in their lives.

They should know how much their mom was loved and how special they are because of her.

I agree - please keep me posted too.

 

[Sha]

I will.......

there are two things that are ideas for one part of it. I was thinking about sending a plant, that can last longer than flowers... or be planted outside (like a peace lily). Jen was very ECO friendly if you didnt know that about her. The other is that she would do fund raisers for the Disney Wildlife foundation that her friend Claire worked with. I have a message to Claire to right now. Just waiting for them to get back to me.

If you are in a hurry to get anything to them, the funeral info (address) is on her profile here on the Dis. I posted it there. You can google the rest of the address. I also have added a link for the notice from the paper.

The other ideas I will let you know more of what they like.


sadder for me... I got our DVC room confirmation today in the mail.

I really miss my friend a lot

 

[Carrieannew]

It is with a heavy heart this morning I post my dancing bananas

​

If there is one thing Life keeps reminiding me is that it is way to short - so make each day count!

​

Very well said Mel.

Life is so short. I do believe the friendships we have made here are timeless. A love a disney has brought so many together in so many ways, from finding true love to finding a best friend. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the friends I have made here.

I could not get through life without you guys.

Ok no more sadness from me. I shall dance with Mel as I am at 8 more sleeps as well.

Jen was really looking forward to that trip too Vicki. When I spoke to a family friend, when I found out, she said she had been talking about the things we were planning to do.

I'm sorry Sha. Thinking of you.

Hi, all ~ I've not posted on this thread before, but had chatted with Jen and shared some pm's and emails with her over the last couple of yrs (I was a single parent and had an at home pre-school for many years). She was one the sweetest people anyone could call friend.

As everyone who knew her, I am shocked and saddened...such a loss for so many who knew and loved her.

Just wanted to stop by to wish you all well...I am so very sorry you've lost a dear friend.

 

[Mahorn]

Thanks for keeping us up to date sha I can imagine how hard this is for you as well. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as the family.

Let me know what you are doing so I can help out.

 

[Sha]

I still have not heard from Jen's mom, which I am not surprised under the circumstances.

A friend of hers did a really nice eulogy at the service yesterday.

 

[momlady]

Hugs to you Sha and all of Jen's DISboard buddies. I first met Jennifer at a Donny Osmond fan gathering where I found out she lived in the same city as my parents, so over the last 5 years we have emailed, talked on the phone a few times a week and gotten together practically every time I came to town. We shared not only our Donny obsession but also a common love for Disney. I don't post often on the DIS boards but I do read often and I know what a big part of the community Jennifer was!

I spoke to her on Friday before I left with my husband for an anniversary trip, and Sha -- she was so excited describing to me what you guys were planning for December!! I'm so sad that this bright light has gone out of our lives. I will miss Jen's phone calls, her friendship, her laughter...

Hug the ones you love and make sure that they know it every day.

Hi...looks like I stumbled into this thread at the wrong point.

I've been a member on here for a long time, but never really posted in the threads before. I was a little confused by the title...is this where those of us who are single and get a kick out of WDW chat? I've often wondered how others deal with the looks from other visitors with young children when they find out you are by yourself, or if there were any great places in the parks where you were more likely to run into another single person while you were there.

Hope this isn't too far off the current topic...

 

[nurse.darcy]

Yes, this is. There are many of us who get together at the parks at various times throughout the year as well. We just lost one of our loved ones and are mourning that loss. Its okay to join us at this time. Just understand that many of us will feel the loss and still post about it.

Welcome to the singles thread. Enjoy. We shall begin our regular communication soon. Jen would want that.

 

[cdn ears]

What else is there to say........everyone already has said so much about Jen as a group we have all lost a dear friend and chatter (when she didn't have PC issues).

Some more that others, Sha.

Please keep me posted as to what we will be doing........, or that I can do as I'm only about 2.5 - 3 hours away from London...

Shouldn't it be - "We will resume regular programming shortly" ?

HI Sha,
It's been a while since I've posted (lost track of the thread and wasn't receiving email updates).
I'm really shocked and saddened by the news about Jenroc. I had not had the pleasure of meeting her but was hoping to connect up with everyone this December.
I think your suggestion about Disney Wildlife Foundation is an excellent idea. A donation to them in her name would be quite appropriate.

 

[Sha]

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Jen and her family... I still have not heard from her mom. She now also is going to have to get the children ready for school which is about to start up in Canada. As soon as I do I will let you know about mailing anything to them. She has sent messages back, just not ready to answer about mailing etc.

Here is some info though that people can do if they would like: "Thanks for your email and your offer, we would be happy to take a donation in Jen's name and make sure it goes to something that she and the kids were passionate about, elephants, dolphins, etc.

We take checks by mail:
Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund
P.O. Box 10000
Lake Buena Vista, FL, 32830.

We can send a letter to whoever to let them know of your gift, Barbara, the kids, just let us know."

If you chose to do that, then include a letter/note that this is in memory of Jennifer Rawlings.

I am also going to do a brick at Disneyland. The infomation hasn't gotten in yet. I am probably going to do a followup call. If anyone wants to participate in that, you are welcome to. It will depend on how many others want to chip into that.

I am going to still do the trip (DL thread link in my siggy)... but more importantly, I am still planning to do the 2 Kingdoms in a day, that Jen and I had planned. Her son has shown interest in going and doing this in her memory. That is something to talk with Barbara about... to see what can be done.

I just want to thank Minnie&Nana, PirateMel, Bill Brown, DisneydadNY, cdn_ears, boundforddisney, CaptJackSparrowsGirl, MaHorn, Connorsmom911, Rebecca06261, JDUCKY, mommyoftwinfants, dizmom0923, jadedbeauty14304, dismem98, pdchris, momlady, disneyfanx3, carrieannew, comickey, AuntieL, ttester9612, ahoff, GIR_Prototype, nurse.darcy, tawasdave, buena vista, moremickeyforme, cinrell, valree, katydidbug1, black562, can84, libertybell7, and DFD.

The brick is a wonderful idea. Maybe we can do leave a legacy or SOMETHING for wdw as well?

Whatever the consensus is on what we will do I am ready to chip in.
I loved the idea of the peace lily as well.
