I remember Jennifer in my office, writing rapidly to capture the complexity of the school and everything that went with it. I remember the day she met Asia, and seeing them sit together at the end of the hall, slowly learning to love each other. We adored Jen.

It is not surprising that Jen’s would be one of the first and friendliest faces I would encounter.
