Jennifer Beth Sessoms Owens
It would be really hard to tell you about Jennifer in one short page. She was happy go lucky, loved life, and tried to live it to the fullest. She looked at life as a huge play and she was the star. Jennifer was a beautiful young lady with a knock out smile that came straight from her heart. As Jennifer’s parents we were so proud of her and proud to call her our daughter. Jen really cared for people and felt that she could make a difference in their lives. According to many of her family and friends, she did make a difference. I personally am a better person for having her touch my life. Jennifer did not really have a hobby. She loved movies and collected quite a few. She was into NASCAR and was madly in love with Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
Jennifer had a lot of health problems most of her life. She had a kidney transplant when she was 14. Her Dad gave her a kidney. The kidney worked perfectly until she developed a kidney infection in April ’99, just 4 days after her wedding. After several months of medication she went into kidney failure once again. She was placed back on dialysis 9/14/00 and had her transplanted kidney removed 2/14/01. She was once again waiting for a new kidney. Since she was an organ recipient, she always wanted to be a donor when she passed away.
Jennifer would be so proud that someone is able to see today because of her. Although Jen was sick for a long time, she was not one for self-pity. Life dealt her lemons so she made lemonade. Jennifer is with the Lord, and we will be united with her again someday.
