Memories of Jen Lindley

Memories of Jen Lindley

Grams: Lord why do you keep taking the young ones? Especially a warm hearted one like Jennifer? She was so full of zest and life, even through her last days. When she arrived I was so concerned for her due to her past. I was wary of every move she made and who she befriended. I never imagined the profound effect she would have on my life.

Stay strong Evelyn. Jennifer wouldn't want you being sad today. Thank goodness for the strength her five closest friends are giving me.

Jack: She was 25. She had a beautiful baby girl. Life really sucks at times. I may not have known her as long as Pacey, Joey or Dawson but I definitely knew her best. Looking next to me I can see Grams smiling through her tears, thinking of happier times as I am sure Jen would have wanted all of us to do. I don't think I have it in me today, I've always been the weaker McPhee sibling. How can I smile today though? I no longer have my Grace.

Pacey: Out of the 3 funerals I've attended, this is by far the most emotional. From the moment she stepped out of the cab and into our lives, I could tell she was a one of a kind girl. Unbeknownst to anyone she was the girl that first caught my eye before Tamara, Andie and Joey. Jen told me to find happiness within myself and I am determined to do so, even if it means being apart from Joey a little longer. I have to do it for her. For Jen

Andie: I never imagined that my return to Capeside would be for the funeral of a friend. I've kept in touch with Jen whenever she was at Jack's these past 5 years. The last time we phone-talked I mentioned the 10 year meet up she, Joey, and I were to have. 5 years we have left, Joey and I agreed to do it in memory of Jen. I'll never forget how kind she was. In some way I can feel Jen up in the heavens looking down on us with Mitch and Tim.

Dawson: Jen Lindley was one of the wisest people I ever knew. She was my first love. Somewhere along the way I forgot about her and focused on Joey. Even after our first breakup we managed to have a deep friendship that lasted throughout the years. The beset relationship I ever had was dating her that year after high school. I never got over her fully. Joey and I had our romantic train ride but Jen Lindley is the girl that I'll always be in love with.

Joey: I never knew Jen that well, mostly my fault. She was always supportive of me, especially when it came to Pacey. During her final days it was too hard to face the reality of her situation so I kept the topic on me. I'll always regret not knowing her well enough like Dawson, Pacey, Andie or Jack. Goodbye Jen Lindley, I hardly knew you.
