I'm telling you, this was a truly exceptional girl.
She was a pure and beautiful 20-year old acquaintance, friend, associate, teacher and peer of ours, who lived full-tilt, singing & dancing to the Glory of God. The thing that struck me whenever I encountered Jennifer, from the time she was a pre-schooler, but especially in the past few years, was the spectacular luminosity of her countenance. As you read on, I think you'll see that it was probably just an outward manifestation of what was going on inside...
Other places have listed the outline of her life, but I think that the quotes she posted on her facebook page really show you her heart:
All things are only by His grace and only for His glory...
Peace is the ability to remain faithful in spite of the panic of unfulfilled dreams. -Stress Fractures

I know the plans that I have for you, 'declares the Lord,' plans for

generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

Character is how you treat those who cannot help you...

all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in
doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, in order
that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about
us." Titus 2:7-8
"Busyness rapes relationships. It substitutes
shallow frenzy for deep friendship. It promises satisfying dreams but
delivers hollow nightmares. It feeds the ego but starves the inner man.
It fills a calendar but fractures a family."

am, to see my glory that you have given me
because you loved me before
the foundation of the world."
~John 17:24
