Grandpa and Grandma

I am sitting here, reading all the wonderful thoughts from people we don't even know. How special it is to know that people still care and are concerned about each other. In this world of ours it seems that the real things are set aside. Our visit with Timmy and the boys and Debbie (Timmy's Mother) was much needed. We needed to see them. I came across an ORNAMENT that our daughter, Suzi gave me last year in memory of my Mother's passing. Knowing that my Daddy is with my Mother, and that Jenna and Ethan are also with them is comforting because THEY SPENT THEIR CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR. They were not alone. Our hearts ache for them and we think of them each and every day. Jenna would be proud of Schyler and Kaiden...Timmy is doing a great job. They are absolutely precious. God's Blessings to all of you who contribute to this site. You give us much comfort. Thank You! Grandpa and Grandma

As Jenna's grandmother and grandfather on her Mother's side, we have to say how much we missed having Jenna, Tim and the boys here for the holidays. We had a family gathering here today and although we know that Jenna and Ethan were not alone, we felt the loss of them with us. Jenna's mother, our daughter, gave us Christmas Ornaments symbolizing Jenna and Ethan and it was so emotional for all of us. It wasn't sad so much as a celebration of her life and how much we enjoyed her. We also know how hard it is to know that we will never, in this lifetime, meet Ethan. Judging from his brothers and their wonderful spirit, we have missed a wonderful soul. We also know we will meet him someday in a different way. Our New Year's wish is that whoever did this to our beautiful and loving Jenna will realize how many people have been hurt by this senseless violent act and do what he/they need to do before another family has to go through what we are all going through. The family support and the community support has been wonderful. We will never get over this, but with God's help, we will get through it. As I have said before, Jenna, you wake up my heart! I love you, Oma

PS I made the homemade Kalua you loved and all the cookies we usually did together for Christmas.

Dear Family - Your family and your hardship has pulled at my heartstrings. I do not know any of you but I am a daughter, granddaughter, wife, mother, and friend just like Jenna. I have your website on my favorites list and visit it often, hoping that there has been some closure to her case. While we are all waiting for Justice for Jenna, I wish your family some kind of peace and serenity. I pray for all of you.

Thank you Claire. We want as many people praying for her and Ethan and our family as possible. We want her and Ethan to continue making a difference in this world and working to save other families. The more people that know and hear about them, the more chance we have of hearing something that will help to find the person/s who did this horrible crime and bring them to justice.

Thank you for caring.

I love the sweet video's of Jenna's wedding. It's wonderful to see the memory of her lives on. She seemed like a fun loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. I hope her kids grow up to always know that. I hope they find the person who did this to her and her baby. I hope her boys are doing well. Much love, Allie

MY heart feel's for you l know what you're going through, my son was kidnapped from his home with 2 others who were livin with Jimmy. And the scums tooked all to a field and done them in, they were beat to death and then their bodies were burned, they were put in body bags. But one day they will face Jesus. So who ever done your daughter and grand son keep in mind God knows who thr-ey are. WE really don't have no justice system in north carolina except for the scums.
And you know that Our God loves you and he will not put on us no more than we can bear according to His Word/Carol

I saw the pictures on a vehicle about this case & this young woman. I was saddened when I read what the stickers were about & remembered this website, so typed it in. I am very sorry for your loss & am very sad for your family & her children. This world is becoming more violent every day. I pray for your family that closure is found & that the person that has done this pays for it & they will have to answer to God. May peace be with your family & Godspeed for finding the attacker.

Jenna was my cousin. I live in California. And I remember her as a child. We would play together. I don't even think that her Bio dad even knows what happen to her. I only new her when she was a child but my heart goes out to her children and her family. I will pray that you find justice.

To the family and friends of Jenna,

Even though I am searching for other criminals of other crimes, I want you to know that until Jenna's killer is caught, I will not stop searching for him. You are all in my prayers and in my mind and heart. My mom passed away suddenly in January, and I just lost an aunt a couple of days ago. The only joy I have is in helping others in any way I can. I don't know when the killer lost his humanity, but I wish he'd find it again and take responsibility for his actions by confessing and repenting.

Jaime, yes he knows, because I called his mother and told her. We didn't know how to reach him. Although he had never been part of her life, we felt he should know about her death. We have not heard anything from him or his family. All of this was a long time ago and Jenna had a loving and supportive family all of her life because of her mother, Lorann. She never met or heard from her biological father and never received any kind of financial or emotional support from her bio father or his family. She had much love and support from her Mothers side of the family (Lorann) and her father, Kevin, the only father she knew. Jenna knew that her mother and bio-father were divorced while her mother was pregnant with her and that her bio-father wasn't interested and never paid any child support. Jenna lived with her Mother, Lorann, until Jenna and Tim found each other. It seems to me that since Jenna's bio-father still owes back child support for 18 years, that money should go to her children.

So I wanted to share something that happened to me today that reminded me of Jenna. You know the saying "See a penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck"? But you can only pick it up if it is heads up. Well one time when I was with her she saw a penny on the ground, so she bent down to see if it was heads up or tails up. The penny was tails up. She reached down and fliped it over so that it was heads up stood back up and started walking away. I asked her why she did that and she told me that she was creating a little bit of luck for the next person that happened upon the penny. Because it would be heads up for them.
So that is another memory of mine with Jenna.
Thinking about you every day Jenna.
Miss you alot

Happy Birthday Jenna. You may not have lived long, but you made an impact on the world. Not many people can say that. The beautiful memories we have of you will live with us forever. You always had a knack for bringing people together. Your uncle Randy is getting married and you mother is getting married. We sent an email to all our friends to let them know and Bonnie Powell, who you knew, said it sounds like Jenna has been a busy Angel Bee!!!!

Inah - thank you so much for this insight on Jenna. It describes her nature. Maybe we can still all learn from her. I hope that whoever did this horrible thing to Jenna and her unborn son, realizes what he took from this world, her mother, Lorann, her father, Kevin, her husband, Tim and her 2 precious little boys as well as all the rest of us, her family and her friends.

Tim - hang in there! I know it is hard but know that we are here for you and our hearts ache for what you are going through. Please give the boys a hug from us.

Love, Oma and Opa

I just wanted to leave my condolences and I truly hope the monster that killed Ms. Neisen is caught. Recently a college student in NC was killed and it made me think of this case and the fact that we should not let her murder go without a spotlight. She seemed to be a beautiful woman and like many of us a devoted mother. This was truly a tragedy.

As the months grow closer to a year since Jenna's death I want to give my love to the family in this time of sadness. I know you will see her again and the child you never got to see grow up. I pray for your family to grow and to remember Jenna's life. Stay strong.

I want to thank everyone for all of your heartfelt comments, not only the friends and family that new jenna but to everyone who didn't. It's comforting to know that there are still people out there in this F**Ked up world we live in that still care and show concern, love and compassion to people they have never met before. Thank you everyone from my family to yours. Jenna and Ethan thank you as well, i know they do. Hugs and kisses from me and the boys to Oma, Opa, Inah, Christi, Lorann and to everyone else who has shown their love and concern during all of this. Thank you and please keep writing, i read these everyday and it's comforting.

I just wanted to say thank you to whoever is keeping this website so up to date. It's hard living so far away to keep up on things and it's nice to be able to access all of the new information so easily.
Also, Tim, there are more people than you know that care. The whole family wears bracelets and have bumper stickers. People can't help but ask when they see them. From all parts of Idaho clear to the western coast of Oregon, people care and pray for you and your family. I'm hoping the fetal law gets passed. We all know how wonderful your boys are and can only imagine what it must have felt like to have so much taken away so quickly. You have been a very brave man during the past year. Your boys love you and idolize you. You are an amazing father, Tim. We all love you and miss you three boys. :)

This is my second comment on this page, but I wanted to send a message to Mr. Blaine and the family that we still continue to spread the word of Jenna's story everywhere we go! I pray for you all day in and day out. JUSTICE will be served and I am hoping that it's soon because everyone should rest in peace! Sending Lots of LOVE your way!

When my mom passed away on January 4th of this year, I was in shock. The doctors said they could remove her cancerous tumor and they thought she'd be fine. Then the doctor later said he just got word that mom had a heart problem he wasn't made aware of earlier, so then he couldn't do surgery on her. Even the transfusions might only be a temporary fix, the doctors knew she may continue to bleed internally if the tumor remained. The last thing my mom knew before being sedated was that the doctors were going to perform surgery. I was glad she didn't know about her other heart condition. The day we lost hope of my mother's recovery was the day her kidneys began to fail. I wasn't glad about the way she was going home to the Lord, but I was grateful he took her in his hands and helped her through it and he didn't let her suffer any more with that cancer and heart problem. She went peacefully as my sister and I held her hand. She took a part of me with her and kept a part of herself with me. We have each others' love, the same love that will bring us together again some day, God willing. This Mother's Day, I'm going to remember what a wonderful, loving mother I had here on this earth (and will hopefully have again in Heaven). Tim, I can't imagine what you and your family have been through, but I hope you and your family help the kids remember what a loving mother they had. Help them to keep their faith, hope and love alive so that they may see her again. Our father says that of these three things, LOVE is the greatest.

Jenna, today is the day we honor our mother's. However I want to take a moment to honor my daughter, you. You are always close to me and my life, I talk to you all of the time as if you were still just a phone call away. You are and always will be my best friend, you understood me. And loved me regardless of my flaws.

You always amazed me with your love and compassion for your children and the way you could just have fun and be silly with them. I wish I could have learned from you before raising you. You have taught so many people to just enjoy being themselves regardless of what others thought and that was a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

As you celebrate this day with all of our mothers and grandmothers that have past, just remember you are missed here too!

I know you love the rain but enough is enough, a nice sunny day would be great. HE HE HE

I love you, Mom

To our beloved Jenna: On this Mother's Day, we want to let you now what a great Mom you were! We can't send you flowers but can celebrate and recognize the love you had (have) for your boys. We know they understand how much you would like to be physically with them, but you will always be there in their hearts and minds as well as in their smiles, laughs and love of life. Jenna, you did good!!! We love and miss you.

Tim, please know we will always be here for you. You are doing a great job with the boys!

Love,

Oma and Opa

I'm very sorry for your loss. It saddens me deeply that there is such evil in the world. I pray that he is caught and there is some measure of justice for your family. I don't know any of you, but Jenna seemed like an incredible woman... like a shooting star.

Tim stay strong, bud. May peace be with you and your family.

Many thanks to all of you that have voted to change the North Carolina law to include an unborn, but still very much wanted, child as a victim of crime. He was murdered as much as Jenna was murdered. We continue to spread her story to everyone we can in hopes that someone knows something about who did this and also to make people aware of the injustice in North Carolina law. We appreciate everything that WRAL has done to keep this crime alive and especially Amanda Lamb. This crime needs to be aired again by International media over and over to make sure this doesn't happen to another family. Whoever did this needs to be stopped before he/they do it again.

Please keep your comments coming. I, like Tim and the rest of the family and friends, read this often and it comforts us to know that so many care.

Love, Oma (Jenna's maternal grandmother)

I was pregnant with my daughter when this happened to Jenna. Working in the newspaper industry and knowing people who new Jenna, when they described what a beautiful person Jenna was inside and out. I have 2 boys and I was pregnant with a girl. I wanted to name her something beautiful that would describe the kind of person I wanted her to be. As time went on the name Jenna stayed with me. What a beautiful name that belonged to a beautiful person. My daughter's name is Jenna. I just wanted to share my thoughts as the 1 year approches. My prayers are with you everyday....I think of Jenna, your boys and family everytime I speak my daughters name. I will never forget her (even thought I didn't know her personally) and will always remember your family. May God provide you his love and comfort Saturday and everyday.

Reading these messages, and looking at all the pictures, completely broke my heart. I remember when this story first appeared, and it saddens me to think, wow, it has already been a year, and still NO justice. I obviously do not know Jenna's family, but you have to all know how many lives that Jenna touched, from people that did not even know her. I cant imagine what all of you go through on a daily basis, but you manage to pull yourselves through. I love the idea of that scrapbook. What a beautiful tribute to her children. God bless all of you, and I will continue to pray that justice will prevail....Be strong, be safe, and always be there for each other. Her spirit will get you through anything.

I would just like to send my condolences to the family and let you all know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Jenna was a beautiful woman and from everything that I have read on here a great person and mother too. It saddens my heart that there are people in this world that could do such a thing as this. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. I also pray that one day you can have closure when the person who did this is caught.

I happened upon the article about Jena, althought I do remember this horrible story.
I can't imagine what this family must be going through. What a beautiful wife, mother, daughter and mabe sister. Faith can sometime be tested and I'm sure this is one of the hardest test of faith imaginable. I know in time JUSTICE FOR JENA WILL BE SERVERD. I truly hope God has wrapped his loving arms around her family and I will keep you all in my prayers. Sometimes it's hard to understand God's ways

I have followed your family's sad story for the past year. As a fellow member of the Raleigh community, a mother, and grandmother, I want you to know that I share with you the burden of pain felt by your family. I have looked through your beautiful photo album this evening. Jena's love for life, and her family shines through so clearly in her pictures. It appears as though she embraced the theme of the song "This Little Light of Mine...I'm gonna let it shine", and she did.

Sending the Light of Love to You & Yours

A year ago today, a loving, wonderful, caring, beautiful, thoughtful, young woman, wife, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, and friend, was tragically taken from everyone, who knew her, loved her, and was inspired by her, or touched by her in some way shape or form, in a very selfish, unjust, inhumane, cruel, cowardly act of violence. We still don't have any justice, and maybe we never will. But, I would like for everyone to take a moment of silence, for Jenna and Ethan, at some point in time today, for just them. Then, instead of worrying about justice, or revenge, why or how this could have happened, remember her smiling face, her quirky attitude, her sense of humor, the love she gave to all, how much we have and still do learn from her, how she brightened the room when she entered it, the 2 beautiful boys she left behind, that are a true representation of her, every thought you can think about or remember of Jenna, that will bring a huge smile to your face, just the way Jenna brought one to you. I truly hope that all the family, are doing well, we miss Jenna, we miss Lorraine, and the boys, especially with the "Granite Days's" of the 4th of July, coming up. We think of everyone often, and wish everyone well, and of course, WE WANT JUSTICE, but today, we just want to smile like Jenna would, and would want us to, and hold thoughts of her close to our hearts and minds, and just remember Jenna and Ethan. We still have Justice4Jenna.Org written on our car, and get asked about it. We still wear our bumper stickers, bracelets, and T-Shirts. I believe that if we keep this alive, eventually we will get Justice. We love you Jenna and Ethan, and miss you! Still thinking of you! Nandra and Kids xoxoxox

There aren't words to describe what a horrible thing was done to Jenna and her unborn son. I cannot even imagine what her family is going through. This is a terrible tragedy and brings tears to my eyes every time I visit this website. Jenna was young and beautiful and so full of life. I'm sad to say I never met her. I hope the bastard who did this is caught. I believe in Karma, and even if her is not caught, he will pay for his crime! Life is so unfair, but it goes on. My heart goes out to her family. Your memories will keep Jenna and Ethan alive.

I am Jenna's maternal grandmother and Ethen's great grandmother. I read the beautiful words that are on this site and I am so proud of Jenna and the positive impression she has made on so many people. Nandra, your description of Jenna was so perfect. She brightened everyone's life. When she walked into a room, you knew she was there but not to draw attention to herself but to bring joy and confidence to everyone else. Thank you so much Misty E for naming your daughter after Jenna. It was a beautiful and inspirational thing to do. Jenna deserves that tribute and we appreciate it very much.

I always thought that the piano was Jenna's strong point until I saw her dance. When Jenna danced she came alive!! I was at her high school prom and was amazed at her poise, talent and sensitivity. All the boys wanted to dance with her and have their picture taken with her, but she always would bring in her friends, boys and girls, from the sidelines and make it a group dance and picture. She was loved by everyone because of her talent and innate ability to bring people together. Jenna wasn't afraid to look silly because she didn't know how beautiful she was so it didn't matter to her. She would stick out her tongue and cross one eye and this always made her children laugh. She loved to play with her children. Her quick smile and infectious giggle will always be remembered and cherished. Today, the first anniversay of our loss and as a symbol of our love and appreciation of everything she gave us and what we have missed with Ethen, we have had private and personal ceremonies. Her family and friends in North Carolina let butterflies fly into the sky. In Nebraska, her Mother and friends let balloons fly into the sky in celebration of Jenna's free spirit. We are in Seattle for a seminar now, but we were with friends and blew rainbow bubbles into the air to let Jenna and Ethen know that we miss them, love them and are willing to turn them free. All of this is symbolic of our love of her and Ethen and the unity of our family. We all miss Jenna and mourn the loss of her and the baby that we will never know, but our hearts go out to Tim and their boys. The boys will never know their Mother and Tim will never have the comfort of his wife and mother of his children beside him. Death is always difficult to deal with, but this act was so violent and brutal and unnecessary that it is much more difficult to deal with. There is someone out there that cares nothing about taking the life of a mother and child and leaving a family in the pain we are all feeling. Please help us find out who did this so he/they cannot do this to another family. Jenna - thank you for the 22 years we had with you. Peace be with you and Ethen and please give us the strengh to understand your path. We all love you!

Oma and Opa

I just finished reading the article in the News and Observer and it really touched me. I know this past year has been indescribable. Everyday has been hard and today no easier given it is Fathers Day. Thinking about Blaine opening his fathers day card that Jenna bought him last year or thinking about Tim today upsets me. I am so sorry you have to go through today without Jenna. My heart goes out to everyone involved. There isnt a day that goes by when I dont think of Jenna and her family. Although the sun has faded the flyer i taped to my back windshield the message is still the same, we need to find the awful person who took Jenna from this world prematurely. There hasnt been a week that has gone by that I dont answer someones question about the flyer. I wish we had the capability to take peoples pain away, for i certainly would do so! May you ALL find the strength to carry on every day.

My mom and I were talking about EVERYTHING & EVERYONE involved with Jenna during our fathers day brunch......i brought the N & O with me to brunch with all intention for my mom to read the article in the paper.

My mom and I went to Sweet Tomato in remembrance of my dad on THIS fathers Day.
There have been numerous times my mom and I have talked about Jenna and the "case"........

She again suggested a psychic.

They probably would be able to give additional leads.

A lot of people don't believe in after life spirits and in defense of skeptics, thats understandable.

But, if it could help in finding Jenna's murderer would you do it?

willing to help,
Shari & Judy Davis

The video of the butterfly's is so sweet. I had tears through the whole thing. I also loved the pictures of jenna for the scrapbook. Those are so neat. Are those pictures of her pregnant with Ethan? I didn't know Jenna but I can feel your families love for her and Ethan!!

How could anyone murder such a beautiful young girl - obviously pregnant ? And what could have been the motive ? My deepest condolences for Jenna's family. Jenna was beautiful inside and out. I hope and pray the killer is found. May Jenna rest in peace.

My aunt sent this to me from Fucquay. As a mom of 3 this tears my heart apart. My prayers go out to all of Jenna's friends and family. I always say life is too short and unfortunately even shorter for the young and good hearted. Live the Life You Love and Love the Life you Live. I pray that you will be able to have closer to this.

I can't believe it's been over a year...everyday I look to my bracelet and remember the day I heard the news. It was unreal; something that happened on TV and not in real life, especially not to someone we know. Millions of thoughts raced through everyone's heads. Our hearts instantly ached and we thought of Tim, Schyler and Kaiden... Jenna had a great soul, and I see her soul thriving in the boys.
It's been almost 6 months since we've seen Tim and the boys, and watching that video made me cry. They have grown so much...Everytime I see a butterfly I will think of Jenna and Ethan...
Also, somebody shared a story a while back about how Jenna saw a penny tails up, and flipped it over to give someone else good luck...Now, everytime I see a penny on the ground, I flip it heads up in rememberence of Jenna.

I never had the privilege of meeting Jenna or her family but i cant help but feel so deeply saddened by what happened to her and her unborn child. I am 22 yrs old pregnant with my first child. Thoughts of what goes on in this sick world keep me up at night, terrified of what may happen. We can only pray that there will be justice and whoever could be so heartless to commit such an act, will be punished for all eternity. I am truly sorry and wish the family in knowing that she and Ethan are in a better place. Your family has two amazing angels watching and smiling down on you everyday. God Bless you all.

Maybe with this new Touch DNA testing done by labs, Jenna's killer may be found. It's helped the 12 year old JonBenet Ramsey case, maybe it'll help Jenna's too. I'll never understand how the killer can live with himself. You'd think he'd want to bring some peace to Jenna's family by coming forward and telling what happened. If the killer dies tomorrow, he'll die as a coward. Is that the legacy he wants to leave this world? Is that how he wants to meet his maker? I would be more afraid of God's judgement than of man's if I were him. Maybe if he ever becomes a proper young man, then he'll understand the horror of what he's done to so many people and TRY to make amends. He'll never be a man, he'll never be a human being because human beings show compassion, he'll only be known as a coward and not even half a man. What's worse, he'll never be a Christian because to be so one must first be human.

Mr. Kevin Blaine and family, you are all in my prayers.

Thank you Diane (Oma) for the nice words in reponse to my post. I too cried when I watched the video of Jenna, the boys, Tim and the butterfly release. I will think of Jenna and your family when I speak my daughters name and when I see a butterfly now. May God provide you and family his love and comfort today and everyday.

Today I had an email from our very dear friends Doc & Diane Franks, grandparents on Jenna's mother's side. It was obvious from the email that they are still suffering much pain in the loss of their beautiful grand daughter and her unborn son, Ethen.
I wished I could have rushed over to their home and hugged and hugged them;unfortunately we live an ocean apart in Aussie land. I am sure that if only someone could provide some sort of information that would lead to the apprehension of the evil person that killed these two inocent human beings that maybe some of their pain would ease.
Why not as one reader has suggested bring in a psychic. We have seen where they have previously helped solve crimes.
It breaks my heart to know the suffering that this cruel act has caused, a husband without his much loved wife, two gorgeous little boys without their mother, parents Lorann and Kevin without their much loved daugher, her brother without his sister and our very dear friends Doc and Diane without their cherished grand daughter, Jenna; Jenna who brought so much joy into their lives. This is a loving caring kind family who have given much over the years to help others, surely it is time that someone somewhere does something positive about bringing resolve to this terrible crime,a crime that has brought so much heart break to this family.
Together with my husband James we send our love and prayers to the family and a plea to the universe to find the person who committed this crime.

Dear Family of Jenna and Ethen, Just learned of you today (July 22,2008) from reading the back window of a black vehicle in St. George, Utah. As a mother/grandmother, I can't imagine your sorrow, but join with uncounted others in united prayer and love for all of you. Will now and always be aware of your loss and hope to learn of the solution to this horrendous crime..I know God will punish him/them even if you don't learn of it until you are reunited with your loved ones in the eternities...thank you for sharing via this website, I'll check it often for updates.

I read about the senseless crime against the Nielsen family and somehow on the one year anniversary Jenna came into my mind and I remembered I had clipped her photo and the USA Today story. I recently found the clipping and this address. I know there are others like me who have not forgotten her and her unborn child. I was hoping to log on and learn that their killer(s) had been arrested and convicted. I am so sorry this hasn't happened yet but I know it will and that justice will be done. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

It is late at night (or early in the morning, depending on how you want to look at it), and I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about you, missing you, and smiling over the joyous memories of you. I hope, like Christi, that something is going on with your case and that is why I need to look at your website again tonight. I remember when Grandma died. You were very young and I was tucking you into bed after you said your prayers. You said "I think I will die tonight". I asked you why and you said because Grandma would be lonesome and you would go and be with her and take care of her. I told you that you didn't need to do that because she had many friends and family with her and would not be lonely. I asked you if you knew where Grandma was and you said yes, she is in my heart. I said yes she will always be in our hearts, she just can't come to dinner anymore. You asked if when you said your prayers, you should pray to Grandma. I told you I thought you should still pray to God but you could talk to her when you are there. Your compassion and love even at such a young age,is amazing! Please give Grandma a hug from me. I love you, Jenna! Your Oma

I feel so bad. I went to high school with Jenna. I remember that I had couple classes with her , and she was nicer to me than anyone. I couldn't believe how big of a heart she had. She smiled at everyone. And her laugh was so contagious. She could turn anyones day around. The last time I saw her, I regret to say, was at her wedding. At least the last time I saw her was on the happiest day of her life. But with Jenna it was hard for me to catch her on a day that was not happy for her. My thoughts and sympathy goes to her husband, children and other family. I can't even imagine what something like this would feel like. I wish that I would have kept in touch with her after the wedding. I guess this goes to prove that you should never take a single friend for granite, and take every second you have with them, and cherish them. You never know when something like this could happen. But if it does at least they will know they were loved. And I know that Jenna knew that. Everyone loved her and still does.

Well Babyboo...Grandpa Jack has joined you this evening. Please watch for him and guide him to the rest of the family.
Make him smile the way only can do... and I know it will be alright.

I was funny (in a way) that when the doctor asked if he had been under any stress lately or suffered any loss, it was not loosing his wife he mention... it was you that he mentioned.

Anytime we talked about you, he would tear up and change the subject, he loved you so. With some people they can't talk about someone they love once they are gone and some that is how they heal. It is funny how people react differently even in a close family.

When you see him give him a hug for me and tell him I love him.

I will see you in my dreams, I love you and miss you.

I will never understand how someone could have done this. I still think about the family, and I still wear the bracelet. People ask me about the bracelet and I tell them to keep the whole family in their mind, thoughts and prayers. My husband worked with the father, husband, and the brother. We had them over to our house. She was a very lively person, with a smile on her face the whole time she was here. I'm sure she still has a smile on her face every time she looks down from Heaven to see her family. God bless the whole family!

Every time I come to this page, I cry b/c of what some animal has done to Jenna and her family, and to little Ethen, who never had a chance to live. He never had a chance to actually breathe in this world, but oh, what a difference he and his mommy are making in the world each and every day. If we put enough pressure on them, the lawmakers of NC will DO THE RIGHT THING and give this state an unborn victims act. I'm sorry but I get really emotional b/c I was told I couldn't have children, but I am mother to three miracles and grandma to 5. What is right is right, and it should be. B/c of some slime on the street, Jenna isn't here to raise her babies, but thank God, she has a family like she does have.

I'm really sorry for your loss. I know its hard to get by this but one thing you must know is that Jenna is with god now and she is watching you from the heavens up above. I saw this story on America's Most Wanted and I taped it because AMW is one of my favorite shows. I want to help you all get justice by posting your case on youtube so that other people may be aware of your situation because the more people know, the more they will be willing to help out and I want to help out as well. I hope we get this murderer of the streets!

We just had Thanksgiving. We missed Jenna and my father so much, but we had so many sweet memories. We have a tradition in our family that when we say grace for Thanksgiving each person around the table says what they are grateful for this day. Jenna was always the one, from the time she could talk, that would always stand up and give a beautiful statement. She was so insightful and kind and sensitive. Her mother was with us this year and it was so difficult for her. My heart hurts for her and all of us. The best news is that Jenna's husband and children moved back to the Salt Lake City area so we will be able to see them more often. Our thanks go to all of you that have named your children after Jenna and Ethan. You have honored our family and blessed yours. Thank You!

Jenna and Ethan, we love you!

Today you are very much on our minds.
Our love and thoughts go out to you as we know how difficult this time of the year with it's celebration events must be for you all without your beautiful Jenna,baby Ethen and Diane's father.
To dear Lorann,we can only imagine the pain you must feel, our hearts go out to you, Kevin,Tim and the little boys.
I pray that you will all find comfort,peace and some joy in the beautiful memories that Jenna provided during her all too short life.
In my head it is saying, If love could build a stairway then the love that everyone has for Jenna would certainly reach that other dimension, Jenna and Ethen's heavenly abode.
Our love to you all, Betty & Jim

This is New Years Eve and I want to write but can't think of what to say. I pray that this New Year will bring justice for you. Your loving spirit would never ask for revenge but whoever did this to you and Ethan must be found so he/they cannot do this to anyone else. We must protect other families. If anyone knows anything, please let the authories know and don't let Jenna and Ethan be forgotten. This case must be solved and the law in North Carolina must be changed. Thanks so much Jim and Betty for all your love and support. Although you live half a world away, we feel your hugs.

Thanks to everyone,

Hello everyone my name is April Pritchett. Jenna and I were best friends when she attended Granite High and I think about all the good times we had. Jenna and I had are first kids about a month apart when she moved drifted apart but one thing that will always stay strong is the happiness that she has brought to all of her lifes. And she still brings joy to my life when i think about her. Just because i wasn't close to her when she moved to NC doesn't mean she isn't in my thoughts and prayers she is a beautiful person. She was a loving mother and the best person to turn to when you needed her she was my best friend and I miss her dearly. Jenna we will not stop looking for who did this to you. Love Always April Pritchett and kids

I spoke to Kevin yesterday and during that conversation I asked how the he was holding up... I just wanted everyone to know that Jenna and Ethan are not forgotten. I think about them often and I just hope that there is resolution for this family, hopefully soon. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers... God Bless.

Today I had a fond memory of Jenna replay in my head so I figured I would come here to share it. When Jenna and Tim got married I remember us getting her ready and all we could do was laugh and dance around.We were singing and dancing and being silly girls! Jenna was so excited, but nothing fit more perfect than when she walked down the aisle.It was an amazing day!! I still am in shock, I think about you often!! Youre always in my heart! XOXO

Jenna, I am still thinking about you. Everytime I drive down Redwood road I remember your funeral, and watching the boys play so calmly with their trains on the floor next to your casket. My heart still breaks for them. I only wish they had you longer. Tim is so strong to keep going on and being a wonderful father without you by his side. May we never forget this tragedy and strive to help Tim and the boys with their search for some type of closure.

Today is Valentine's Day and my thoughts are with you and your family.

I just wanted to say happy anniversary and happy valentine's day. This was one of the may times of year you loved. You felt it was a free day to kiss everyone.

I always thought it was poetic justice that you choose Valentine's weekend to marry Tim. Since you could now kiss him all of the time.

My thoughts and wishes go to Tim, I hope you are doing well and share all of the special memories of Jenna to the boys this time of year.

I love and miss all of you.

I met your Grandmother Diane today and she told me your story. First I want to thank Diane for touching my heart! She loves you so much and spoke of how much she loved and how proud she is of you and your husband Tim. I was shocked of the story and promised I would spread the word of you death as well as you life to all my friends and family. I will pray for you and your family and hope that no one has to go through what they have gone through ever. From the stories your grandmother (I believe she said she was called Oma) has told me you were a wonderful young woman I my heart cries for you and your family.
God Bless and my prayers are with you

Happy Birthday Jenna! I wrote a letter to you on your birthday but it got lost in "email heaven" Hope you got it and can fix some of these computer problems!!!! I just wanted to let you know that we, DeAnne, Kaleigh and Alex went to your graveside on your birthday and broght flowers for you an Ethan. We also brought bubbles and sent them free in your honor. I remember that when I was teaching you to sweim, the only way I could get you to put your face in the water was to sing the song "I'm forever blowing bubbles", I hope this loving tribute to you helps to set you free. I know you are free, but we are still struggling so I guess it is to help set us free. We miss you so much but have so much joy from the time we had with you. We will never get over the lose of you but we will get through it because of the happiness you brought to us. You and Ethan may have been taken from us but our memories of you cannot be taken.

Good night sweet baby, I love you!

Hi Jenna: This is not quite Skype because you can't answer me in the conventional way, but you are creative and find ways to communicate with me. I miss you so much! I know that you are in a better place than we are, but I want to hug you! Today, I closed grandpa Jack's home. It is sold and it was like losing him all over again. He had a wonderful long healthy life and enjoyed everything, everyday. Your life was cut short but you accomplished so much in the time you had. I am so proud of you!! I am so blessed to have had you, my father, my mother, and all those that have passed that created joy in my heart, in my life.

Keep doing your thing------

Hello. I stumbled across the website. I saw the link in big print on the back of a van at the Double Tree Hotel in San Diego California a couple weeks ago and I knew I had to check it out. My condolences go out to the family of Jenna and you all will be kept in my prayers. I hope the person responsible for this will soon be caught.

 

Oma (Diane Frank)

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:54:40

Thank you so much Stacy - That was our van in San Diego at the Double Tree Hotel. We thank you so much for your prayers. That is why we still have it on our van. The more people that know about this horrible act, the more chance we have of stopping whoever did this from doing it to anyone else. Also in North Carolina where this happened, it is only considered a single homicide not a double, although Ethan was 6 1/2 pounds when he was killed also. He would have survived without his mother except she was killed. There is a bill changing the law in North Carolina and it is being called Ethan's law. This bill was passed in California when Stacy Peterson was murdered. You can go on Jenna's website and vote to change the law even if you are not a resident of North Carolina. Please help us change the law!

In appreciation of your prayers and support, Diane Frank, Jenna's Grandmother and Ethan's great grandmother.

I know you are in a better place, but oh how I know that all the people who LOVE you so much, especially your Mom, Tim and the boys, and your Oma are thinking of you and miss you terribly, and they are wishing you were here to celebrate, hug and kiss you! My prayers and thoughts are with all of them. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! JENNA! I love you and miss you, but I know you are watching and can feel ALL THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR YOU! Thinking of You! Missing You! Hope your day is bright and sunny where ever you are, just like you were and always are and will be! Love ya!

I came across Jenna's article and
recognized her picture with her smile.
I realized it was the same Jenna that
I was best friends with in Elementary.
I would never forget her smile. I am
very sorry that this happened to her.
I wish I could do something to help
find who did this to her. I will
always remember going to my first
concert with her and her family,
I will always remember the days in
elementary that we had together. I
was very sad when we moved away from
each other and lost touch and never
we never spoke again.
I hope they find who did this to her. And find justice. I hope you will be able to find justice for her unborn baby boy.

The first time I met Jenna, it showed me exactly what kind of a person she was. I was having a terrible day at school and I was sitting alone at lunch. She came up and sat next to me, without even knowing who I was. She asked me if I was okay and told me it looked like I needed a friend. If only there were more people like her in this world! I hope that your family may find closure and the person responsible will pay. I hope that justice is served and I pray that the law in NC will soon change so that when they do find this horrible person, he will be charged for taking 2 precious lives from this world. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts!

Dear Lindsey, Brittney and all Jenna's friends. It is so wonderful to hear the comments you make about Jenna and justice for their son. It is so important that someday her son's will know the terrific impact her kindness and compassion had on others. That is their legacy and will be the memories of their Mother.

Thanks Again and keep the comments coming.

I was sitting here reading the artical and had to leave a comment. I can tell that Jenna was very loving and VIBRANT young lady. With having two young boys myself, I can only imagine the pain of the loss of Jenna but also feeling the pain that those two beautiful boys must be filling - it truely breaks my heart. I pray that whoever did this is brought to justice.
You are a lovely family and I am so sorry for your loss.
God Bless

May god bless you and your wonderful family. What a wonderfully strong woman she must have been. I'm so sorry to hear about this tragic loss. I cried when I read your story, my heart truly goes out to your family. I read about this on cnn.com in the crime section and saw this website and just had to read more about this brave woman who was delivering papers to help make some extra money for her family. She is truly in a wonderful place with her little baby. The person who did this will surely pay in his lifetime. God bless.

As the father of two young children, and a husband of four years to my wife, I cannot imagine what it must be like to have lived through this tragedy. We will pray that the criminal is found and brought to justice.

Your wife must have been a warrior - to be 8 months pregnant, and out at 3 a.m. delivering papers - is a testament to the type of mother that every child needs to have.

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:24:23

I was on CNN and saw your loss and even though I don't know Jenna or her relatives, I feel your pain.
I hope that whoever did this is feeling your pain every day and never forget the pain they cause.
From reading her website I know that she was loved and was a wonderful person.
I hope that America Most Wanted takes an interest in this and feature her story and help society get rid of this monster off our streets.
I wish you all well and hope that you have peace.

What a terrible waste of such a beautiful soul and her baby. As in most senseless crimes, someone out there knows something, but is either scared or does not have the cojones to step up and do the right thing. Good vibes your way from Texas.
Much Peace and Love, Jim

Just saw this story on CNN.com and wanted to just send my condolences. I don't know the family, but this is so tragic. You wonder what is wrong with people who can so easily take the life of another. And a young mother of two with another on the way. Keep reminding your kids of their mom so she will always live in their hearts.

My sincerest condolences to your family for your tremendous loss. I read an article on CNN.com and was brought to your website through that. I can't believe that someone could be so heinous!
May God keep Jenna's family and children in his heart and allow them healing. I pray that God also provides swift justice!

I just read the story about jenna. I am saddened so deeply for her and her family. This is so tragic and so horrible to take such a beautiful woman away. Thank you for getting her story out there so we all can be vigilant in bringing the killer to justice. I will not forget her or her beloved son. Just know that she is still with you and is safe with our lord.

I didn't know about this story until today when I read it on CNN. As a young mother myself it saddens me to know there are people out there to see an obviously pregnant woman working at 3:30 in the morning and attack her. It makes me sick. I am very sporry for the family's loss. She was and is a beautiful woman with 3 beautiful children. My heart goes out to the family and to the boys. I pray they find the coward who did this.

To Jenna's husband, children and family,
I don't know you but I can only imagine the hell your life became when these
precious lives were stolen. Jenna was one year older then my youngest daughter. Like Jenna I too was a young Mom. So I can see parts of my own life in her story. All I can say is I'm sorry. I know it isn't enough. But I will pray everyday justice for Jenna and Ethan. My heart goes out to all of you.

and brought to justice for Jenna.

 

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:21:06

I just read Jennys story on CNN. As I viewed the website justice4jenna, I am overwhlemed by such a beautiful young lady she appeared to be and her personality can be felt in every picture. We will proabably never meet but there are people all over the world praying for you; Schyler and Kaiden and the family. I pray that God always watches over you. I also pray that God brings closure to your mother's case and that the person who did this is brought to justice and in the midst of his/her evil establishes a relationship with the almighty.

Never loose faith and stay in God's pressence.

Prayerfully,

I read your story on CNN today and I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. When I was 16 (I am 38 now) my sister was murdered and for two days we didn't know who was responsible. Luckily, for us, the murderer wrote a confessional letter and killed himself on the night of the second day. I cannot not imagine not knowing who was responsible for taking my sister's life. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss. She was my only sister and my one true best friend.

My heart goes out to you all and I hope and pray that you get the answers you all so rightly deserve and that justice is done for Jenna.

Though I do not know Jenna, I just wanted to write to say I am so sorry for your loss. Its a sad world we live in where there is no regard for human life. It seemed Jenna always had a smile on her face and I think it is wonderful that you have this website so her children can grow up looking at it and will know by the loving look in her eyes that she loved them dearly. I hope the person who did this is soon caught and gets what he or she deserves. I will be thinking of you all. Take care.

I have been married for almost 15 years now and have children of my own. I really hope that this case gets resolved and the person responsible pays the price for what they have done. I didnt know Jenna, her husband, or family but just reading this story touched me and angred me all at the same time.

I will keep you all in my thoughts and truly hope that justice is truly served.

Is the events like this makes me doubt about my faith that there is God.
Where was he at the final moments of stabbing and killing of a pregnant woman!I am hurt very much with this and other crue crimes in this World.
My deepest condolencense to the family.
What i didnt believe is to find out that the unborn child seems have no rights and in this case not even recognized!! It is amazing! i thought America was the Land of low and justice that believe in protect and save, but in this case they dont even recognize the unborn that means has no rights at all,So is okay someone to kill the unborn by killing a mother but then again if the woman will do own abortion in some cases she will be treated like any cold blooded killer!!And the really cold blooded killer in this case if will be found it means will be trail only for the muder of the mother but not for killing the unborn!It is uncceptaable and i have signed the: supporting the unborn Victims of Violence Act.
That is all i can do.

I saw this story on CNN and it jogged my memory about Jenna. I do remember this story and to think no one has been brought to justice yet. From all the comments (and I read almost all), Jenna was quite a woman - funny, bold, caring, loving, serious yet whimsical - her boys can't help but follow her lead.
I loved the butterflies - it shows how much she is missed and loved by all.

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:57:26

Let me first start with saying how sorry I am for your loss. I can not begin to fathom what it must have felt like and im sure it still does to this day. Your wife was a very beautiful young woman and from the few pictures I looked at she looked to love life and be a vibrant young woman. I have a sugestion the police may have thought of this already but I'm gonna put it out there just incase. Have the police checked the websites most frequent visitors perpetrators sometimes check up on an investigation or he may be remorseful or may be looking out of guilt. Again I am sorry for your loss and wish you luck in your pursuite of justice. I'll be praying for your family. Rob

Hello,

I live outside Philly and just read about what happened to Jenna on CNN.com. My heart goes out to her family and friends. She sounded like a wonderful person and was very beautiful. This was such a senseless crime and it's sad to know that another 2 young lives were cut short. I will say a prayer for them and also for her family and friends who are missing her every day. I will also pray that whoever did this is brought to justice soon. I don't understand how people can do such horrible things.

Take care,

I just read about your beautiful wife and your son's terrible tragedy on CNN's website. I will be praying for you and your family that you will find some closure with an arrest and conviction of the person thats responsible for taking Jenna and Ethan away from you. I lost a brother in Aug of 07 and I know the heartache of losing someone you love so much but I do believe that Death leaves a heartache no one can Heal, but Love leaves memories No one can Steal. May your memories of your wife help to heal your heart and rest assured you will be with her and Ethan again someday......

 

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:12:49

I can remember being pregnant with my third child at 8 1/2 months. It's such a vulnerable time. There was so much to hope for. God only knows why this happened. God also knows who did this. I pray that person will recieve justice on Earth, but if that isn't possible, be comforted in knowing that justice will prevail when their judgement before God comes. Bless your little children who have to live without their mommy. I know you and your baby are in heaven now. Bless those that you've had to leave behind.

 

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:15:54

I read about your story on CNN.com and I had to come to the site and say how sorry I am for your loss. I know what it means to lose someone you love in such a violent and senseless manner. My heart aches for your family. Please keep the website updated on any information about the case. And I will make sure I add your family to my prayer list. God Bless You All!

I just read this article on CNN and I am so glad to see it in the forefront of the news again. Even though I live in California I remember when this happened. I feel so horrible for the heart wrenching crime that your family has had to experience. I am the mom of two little girls ages 6 & 3 so stories like this hit me very hard. I am so sad for not only the loss of Jenna but for the loss of a beautiful baby as well. I pray that they will catch this monster who committed this senseless act. I pray for your family and for all of Jenna’s friends as well. She was a beautiful person; you can see it in her pictures. I also have voted for the law to change as it has changed where I live which happens to be one city over from where Lacy Peterson lived.
God Bless All Of You.

I'm glad Emma and Ethen's tragic story is back on CNN. We need to solve this. She must have been a terrific person to know and my heart goes out to her family, especially her two boys. How she loved them.
There is an evil person lurking out there and sharing air with us - frightening to think. By best to her family and friends.

I was reading the ccn news online and came upon this sad story, I have been deeply moved, I then clicked on jenna's web page and just looking at the beautful family that this young beautiful woman has left behind, really hurts my heart, I cannot beging tio fathom the thought of the brutal way in which her life was taken from her, she is beautiful, her kids are adorable and her husband and other family members are amazing, may this KILLER be miserable all the days of his life and he die the same way jenna died at his hands., I hope that he can face a brutal death like he did to jenna, in hell he will lift his eyes and moan and groan, God may you bless Tim and the boys that he has to father for the rest of his life, may you give him a quiet peace that surpasses all others. To Jenna's family members, Blessings always, God is good, and he will comfort you.

Hi Tim,

Saw the news in CNN and feel so sorry for your loss, which can't be replaced by any means. She looks so lovely and I can't imagine what a wonderful person she could have been. She left two cute kids and lot of memories for you to treasure. How responsible she could have been to get up that early morning and perform her duties for her family? What a wonderful women she is...

Schyler and Kaiden your mom is such a wonderful women. God will take care of her & Ethen very dearly in the heaven. Remember your not alone. You got lot of love from family,friends and everyone around you no matter what race,religion or creed they belong too. You are loved by everyone. Think of more unfortunate people than you... who have no one to care about them and no one can understand what is going on with them etc... You are so blessed with great dad and excellent family. Thank God for all the love and support you get from everyone.

Kevin, nothing can console the pain you are undergoing but I don't know what to say to you. I believe, all our prayers and thoughts will help you find the suspect soon.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to one and all in your family.

I came across this article on CNN today and was also moved to visit the website and to watch the video and view the pictures of your beautiful Jenna. You can feel the joy in her soul from that smile that she must have carried everywhere. May God bless you and keep the faith that justice will come. Jenna's spirit lives on because of the memories you have so lovingly preserved and also in those beautiful boys!

I just learned of this senseless tragedy on CNN and would like to give my sincere condolence to Jenna's family.

I do not know Jenna but when I read this story on the CNN website I could not help but come here to the site you have created. As I read the comments about Jenna and her live I kept tearing up. She seemed like such a wonderful person who did not deserve to have her life cut short and little Ethan deserved to live a full life with his brothers and mother and father. You seem to have a strong supporting family and I know that helps. I am so sorry to hear that justice has not be served yet, may the person who did this rot in hell for all eternity. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. I hope the boys grow up to know just how special a person their mother was.

God Bless

Why was she delivering newspapers at 3 am in the morning while being 8.5 months pregnant?

I can't believe it. Almost as inconceivable as the 16-yr-old Mass girl who got killed while guarding a swimming lake alone..........

 

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:55:21

I too saw this on CNN. What an amazing woman. I cannot even begin to understand what your family has gone through. I hope that you feel the support of your family and friends. How awful that this person has never been caught.

It seems that your children are well loved and you're doing a great job to keep her memory (and that of Ethen) alive. My prayers are with you all!

 

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:56:35

I occasually read a news from NC14 today. Although I have never seen her, Jenna is a so vivid person standing in front of me as I viewed the pictures. I have a 5 year-old daughter, I know how this feeling is. For the innocent mom and the innocent baby who has not yet been brought to the world, it is hard for everyone to accept the fact. God bless you, Jenna and Ethan

My heart and love goes out to you and Jenna. I pray that justice will be served for what happened to this beautiful young lady. I'm not to far off from her age and I have 2 kids myself, but when I saw the ad on Google homepage it caught my eye immediatly. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers that one day justice will finally be served.

I read the story on CNN.com and was compelled to look up your web site. This web site is such a testament of love it brought tears to my eyes.
I live just outside Charlotte and remember this horrific crime. I believe that Jenna would be proud of the way you have honored her and Ethan. This is such an amazing gift for her two older sons.
May God bless all of you and may Jenna's life continue to be reflected with grace and love.

I just read the story about your beautiful Jenna and baby Ethen...my heart is breaking for you Tim, your boys and the rest of your family and friends. I didn't know Jenna, I live in MI, but I will pray everyday for justice to be served and peace for her loved ones. I'm so sorry...

If Love Could Make a Difference

If love could make a difference,
In how our lives unfold,
My heart would not be broken,
I'd still have you to hold.

If love could make a difference,
And hold the hands of time,
I'd pause the clock that wound your life,
And make it tick with mine.

If love could make a difference,
In all the words we've spoken,
I'd replay all the "I love you's",
To heal my heart that's broken.

If love could make a difference,
If kisses were like years,
I'd trade them in to buy some time,
And wash away my tears.

If love could make a difference,
In families as close as ours,
We'd hear your laughter in the wind,
And see you in the stars.

If love could make a difference,
As I pray on bended knee,
I know that God would understand,
And give you back to me.

If love could make a difference,
And seal our family ties,
I'll know that I'm in heaven,
When I look into your eyes.

To Jenna's family,
I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your beloved Jenna and her baby. I did not know Jenna or her family - I just read of her story online today on CNN. I felt compelled to go to this website after reading the news story. I, too, am a mother, daughter and sister. I am also the mother of two grown daughters and a little grandson. I can only imagine what your family must be going through. From the beautiful pictures, it appears you have a very loving family and two beautiful children to carry Jenna's life on forever. God Bless you all and our prayers and thoughts are with you that this case will be solved soon.

I can't begin to express my sincerest condolences to the family. I just read this sotry tis morning and looked at all of the beautiful pictures of Jenna and her family. She was simply bebeautiful and her smile excuded a zest for life. I pray that whom ever committed this crime, has suffered for the last two years from guilt, and will be arrested immediately. As for the family I can only imagine your grief and pain, I still have my daughters, but one thing is for sure, eveverytime you look at her smile know that she loved life and desires that you all do the same. You will be continually in my prayers.

Dear Family,
Like so many others, I too, read your story on CNN this morning. I cried for many hours for your loss and tragic suffering. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jenna or anyone in your family but I feel a very strong connection to you and send my prayers and loving hugs. May God Bless You and I hope with the recap of the tragedy, someone will come forward and bring you closure. With love, Sharon Hodgson, Orlean, Virginia

Tim and Family,
I can't believe two years have passed since this horrible tragedy. I remember when this happened and the devastation it brought. A beautiful innocent young lady out trying to make a living and how could someone be so cruel as to take her life and the life of her unborn baby. This reminds us of the sad world we're living in. So many are falling in the hands of the devil. We can only pray that ther person is brought to justice. God has brought you through this and will continue to show you the way. Know that Jenna and Ethan are Angels now watching over each of you daily from heaven.
May God Bless Each of You.
Hold those precious memories close an know that you will all be together again.

I am deeply saddened by this story. There are cruel people in this world. They take a persons life like it is nothing. They dont realize that they have a family and loved by lots. This is an ignorant society. I will pray for your family and friends.

To the husband and her 2 beautiful boys, you will always be in my prayers!

Just wanted to express my condolenses and let you know the news reaches far and wide even to Columbus Ohio. I hope they catch the person who did this and cheated so many people out of so much. May God be there for you all through this and may you feel Jenna's presence at all times.

Tim and Family,

It breaks my heart when I see sinceless acts of violence against anyone. But it is even harder when acts like this are taken against women, children and the elderly. I can't pretend to imagine what you and your family are going through right now and have been going through the last 2 years. I will keep you all in my prayers and pray that the person that did this finds it in his heart to come forward. She was working late night to help support her family while being 8 1/2 months pregnant....sounds like a Hell of a woman to me. Please continue to reach out to God especially during times like this and he will pull you through it. The boys are adorable, stay strong for them Tim.

God Bless!

Dear Family:

I just finished reading about Jenna's story on CNN.com and felt compelled to visit your website. As a mother of two young daughters, ages 5 & 3, I am saddened that Jenna will not be able to see her sons grow up to be wonderful young men. I am also saddened to know that some people have so much hate in them that they are willing to take not one precious life, but two. I pray that your family will find closure and that justice will be served soon. Your family has endured enough pain and I know that Jenna is looking down on you now and smiling at her precious sons and loving husband. May God be with you always!

To Jenna's family
My heart breaks everytime I read her page. My heart aches just thinking about how this goes on in this country & that with all the technology we have nobody has been brought to justice yet. Your family will always be in my prayers & may one day you find peace. I never knew Jenna but by visiting this site I feel like I had a friend in her. I hope her boys know how lucky they were to have such a beautiful mom, and remember she is right there by their side as they grow up. God Bless each of you! We love you & pray for justice.

Dear Family of Jenna and Ethen-
I also read about the murder of Jenna and Ethen on CNN.com. I am surprised that I have not heard of their deaths prior to today.
I have looked through your website and been touched by the love shared between Jenna and her family. Looking at her photographs, we can all see that she was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Reading the stories and memories shared about her, we can all see that her spirit was just as beautiful as her countenance. As I see the photographs of his brothers, I think about the future that Ethen would have had with his family. This website is a wonderful tribute to both Jenna and Ethen, as well as to the family that is here now, carrying on with their lives.
As you fight for justice for Jenna, Ethen, know that you are not alone. There are many Americans who believe that we must fight for laws providing justice for our unborn children.
When I was pregnant with each of my children, I felt their movements inside me. Each of them were most definitely a separate person from me. They reacted to sounds, feelings, food, and even earthquakes! I can remember laughing at them as they each had the hiccups, as I am sure Jenna did. I had no more control over the child living inside me than I do over earthquakes. To say that our unborn children are not separate individuals from their mothers is wrong.
We must continue to fight for laws providing consequences for crimes committed against our children. While I dream of a future in America that provides for justice against our unborn children at a federal level, I see each state that adopts these laws as a stepping stone in that direction. Unfortunately, it seems that we do not seek such laws until after one of our mothers is murdered while carrying a child, ending both of their precious lives. As we share the stories of our lost mothers, sons, and daughters with our law makers, we provide evidence of the need for such laws.
Thank you for sharing Jenna and Ethen’s story. The knowledge that you will share eternity together with the Lord can give you strength to get through each day here on earth. Please know that the love you share with Jenna and Ethen gives the rest of us the strength to fight for the changes we need in our legal system.
Your family will always be in my prayers.
May your love for Jenna and Ethen continue to inspire others to seek change.
Jen S.
An LDS Mother in Montana

I used to live in Raleigh 6 years ago and have always gotten the daily WRAL noon headlines e-mail. I have been following Jenna and Ethen's story since the day it was reported. To the family, I just wanted you to know how much I admire your strength as I cannot imagine what it takes to continue living life; however, I look at Jenna and see that she would want you to live life with every enjoyment possible and not keep this from doing so. I didn't know her, but I see me in her, just in her beautiful smile and silly pictures. Tim, hats off to you for not only having such strength, but also for recognizing your children's needs to cope and grow up healthy, but for also continuing to raise the children with the love and values that you and Jenna would've done together. There needs to be more fathers like you in the world! Anyway, not sure what compelled me to write on this "wall" as I'm not usually one to do so, so know that your family (Jenna and Ethen included) have touched lives in ways you'll never be able to know...there's just too many of us! I'll pray for you all and for justice.

Much love!

Stephanie

Until you are reunited again please have comfort in knowing she is smiling down from heaven.

I learned of your loss just today, Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I saw it on CNN news online. My heart breaks to think of how hard this must be for all of the family and friends of Jenna. Your website in her memory is lovely. I am glad that you are not giving up hope that someday the person responsible for this horrible crime will be brought to justice. I will keep you all in my prayers. Sincerely, C.J.

First let me say I am so very sorry for Jenna and Ethen's tragic and violent death. I am writing to encourage all the family and friends that this case is solvable. I know from experience. Almost 20 years ago my father was murdered at his business and his case went unsolved for 6 years. I understand the pain, grief and emotional energy it takes to pursue justice for crime victims when the case goes cold. I am adding you to my prayer list. I have no idea if you are believer's in the Christian faith but I do know that God's heart is broken by these horrible acts and only he can provide the comfort and peace to live through such a horrible ordeal. I will pray daily for the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for this horrible crime. God bless everyone who misses this beautiful woman and child.

I have just read the article on Jenna on the CNN website. I was brought to tears. I can't imagine what this family has been through. I am 8 1/2 months pregnant myself and have 2 babies of my own. I could never imagine this kind of pain. This story has touched my heart in an indescribable way. Jenna's family will be in my prayers. This monster that took this beautiful young lady from her family and her beautiful boys will be punished, keep faith, he can't hide forever. He surely cannot hide from God. May God be with all of you in this difficult time.

There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but I wanted you to know I saw Jenna's story on CNN today and I am glad they are still working to find who did this to her and Baby Ethan. I hope you get the Unborn Victims law passed so that when they catch the killer he can be convicted of both their deaths.

I am Jenna's maternal grandmother. I am overwhelmed at the response from CNN's report of Jenna. Although she died trajically at only 22 years of age, she has had an impact on the world that is amazing! If anyone know how to bring this back to the media so this person/s are not on the streets and a threat to other families, plese do what you can. Nothing can bring Jenna or Ethan back to us, but we need to protect others. Jeanna and Ethan are in our hearts forever and we will see them sometime again. Jenna "you wake up my heart". Please keep all these comments coming. It helps so much to know how others care.

My God what a sad story. I'm also sitting here with tears streaming down my face having just read the story on CNN.

Remember no one can ever take away the wonderful memories that you all have - may God bless you all. I will keep you in my prayers.

After hearing about this tragic story on CNN International here in Germany, I would like to send my condolences to the Nielsen family and let you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I also read this story on CNN today. It is so sad what this world is coming to. Im a new mother and this story breaks my heart that those 2 little boys will not have there beautiful mother in there life anymore. It also saddens me that this state hasnt passed the unborn victims law yet. How could anyone feel that at 8 1/2 months it wasnt a living person. I get so emotional about this because I've lost 4 babies to miscarriage and from the moment I knew I was pregnant I loved my babies. In my eyes they were living breathing people. You can see there little heartbeats on ultrasound around 6 weeks. It just boggles my mind how they would not consider her 8 1/2 month child another person. I hope that the sick person who did this pays for what they did for murdering not 1 but 2 people.
To her family, I will keep you in my prayers and pray that justice is served. Gog Bless!!

I just recently read the story about Jenna, and my heart sank, I felt sick to my stomich and I cried my eyes out. I am a mother of 3 young boys and I can only imagine how rough this has been for your family. My boys ask my husband and I all the time "when is momommy/daddy going to be home" and it breaks my heart that Tim had to tell his boys of this horiffic act against his beautiful wife, the mother of his kids. I go on reading all of these comments that people leave and it never gets better for me and I am not even part of the family nor did I know the family. I see the smiling faces of Jenna's kids, and my heart breaks even more. I am so sorry for what your family has been put through. You will be in my prayers and in my heart. Good luck and please let us all know if any justice happens with your case.

I just recently read the story about Jenna. My heart cries out to you, your family and your children. This violence has to stop. Our family was a victim of violence when my brother was shot and killed in 1992, so I know what you are going through. Just want you to know there are people out there that care and pray for you, even though we don't know you. God Bless you all and hopefully the sick person that did this will pay.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am about what happened to Jenna and her baby. I remember reading about this vicious crime. I am sure Americans everywhere are sickened by this, as we are sick of senseless crime in general. I hope and pray that Jenna and her baby rest in God forever. I pray for her family, that they will have peace. I also pray that the sick individual who did this evil, will be caught and brought to justice. No man can avoid the Justice of God. God bless you all. N.F.
