Our deepest sympathies.
Ms. Kessler was my social studies teacher eight years ago at Becker Elementary School. This is indeed a great tragedy. A young, wonderful life cut short. I’ll always remember what she taught us. I’ll always remember her smile. Thank you so much, Ms. Kessler. Thank you for everything…
Esther and family,
We’re so sorry for your loss of Jennifer. Please know of our prayers.
Love, Steve and Chris
