Though I hardly knew you Jenna, I heard stories about you when I was there. I wish I could remember those times, but I was too young. I saw you in a picture once with my dog, Kasey. Kasey has now passed away and I hope that he is up there with you and that you are having fun together. I wish I would have been old enough to really know you. When my friends and I were talking about cousins, you came up. For some reason it has been hard not to think about you these past few weeks. But I hope that you are having fun up in heaven. Just know that even if I didn't know you so well I know that you knew me and I miss you! Love, Your Faithful Cousin.

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning ... to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all, was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth ... and now only those who loved her, know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars .. the house .. the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard ... are there things you'd like to change? For you never now how much time is left, that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. Be less quick to anger, show apperciation more, and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more ofter wear a smile ... Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash ... would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash? Jenna, I think your dash was spent to the fullest --we are all so very proud of your dash.

Date: December 09, 2002
Lord, hear my prayer. You have promised to comfort us , when our hearts are filled with sorrow. With the coming of your birthday, I ask that you remind the entire Spene family, that you are the one and almighty, Jesus Christ. The sacrifice that you made was greater than all our tribulations. Let your holiness, shine through this family during the holiday season. May you keep all of them, and reunite them with Jenna, who you have taken unto your kingdom. In Jesus name. Amen Bro.Rick Johnson

I never knew Jenna but each time I visit this site, I cry and cry. I was just a freshman at McNeil when she passed away. I was there just a FEW moments after it happened. I was at McNeil also when CaraJean, Meredith, and one of my friends, Kelly Brenneman passed away. I pray that Jenna was watching over her fellow mavs at the time and welcomed them to Heaven with open arms!! We miss u Jena! ~Ashley~

It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years since you were taken from us. It's been rough. We all miss you so much. I know you're in a better place, but it tears me up to think about all the things that you'll miss, that we'll miss experiencing with you. While celebrating Matt's graduation, it was bittersweet. We should have been celebrating your graduation too. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, Hopper. You are precious and we love and miss you terribly. Aunt Julie
Date: January 24, 2002
Jenna: I've thought about you every day since you were taken from us. Your life was so precious, you really gave it your all. It shouldn't have happened; you should still be here. Girl, you had so much more to give to this world. That infectous smile, your contagious laugh and your lust for life will be missed forever. Jenna, you were so special to so many people. I hope you're watching over your family close, keeping them safe. It just doesn't seem right that you're gone. But, you're with God and I know you're happy, you're experiencing more beauty than we know. I'll miss you forever Jenna Mae.
Date: November 26, 2001
Jenna, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Life will never be the same without you here with us. On 9/11/2001, when the WTCs were hit, I was imagining you up there in heaven, directing traffic, as you had lots of company join you that fateful day. I know that you guys are a lot better off up there. I guess I'm jealous in a way. Thanksgiving was rough, Christmas will be worse. Please be with us as we struggle through these holidays. We love you Jenna Mae!
Date: October 18, 2001
Dear Jenna Mae: Keep your watchful eye over us all always, but especially now. Things are getting pretty scary down here for us all and we need all the love and support we can get. Knowing that you are safe, and in heaven helps. I think about you always Jenna, and really still, after almost 2 years, can't believe you are gone. You were here for such a short time, but left such a tremendous impression on all the lives you touched. I'll always love you and think of you always. Give us all the strength you can! Missing you always!!

"If You Came Back From Heaven"
I wouldn't know what to say, I wouldn't know what to do. If you came back from Heaven, and I could look at you. Would I fumble for the words; would I be a little shy, would I burst right out with laughter, or break right down and cry. Oh, if you came back from Heaven, would it be like it was then; could we just pick up where we left off, and try it all again? Oh, if you came back from Heaven, it would freeze me in my tracks; and I hope Gods knows, if he let you go, I'd never send you back. Do your kisses feel the same, do you still have the same touch; will you whisper softly, you've missed me oh so much? Have you heard all my prayers, when I lay down at night; and did you feel my body when I held your pillow tight? Oh, if you came back from Heaven, would it be like it was then; could we just pick up where we left off and try it al again? And if God forbid, you leave this earth again while I sleep, I hope he knows, if you go, you'll be bringing me.
Date: May 30, 2001
I found this and I thought of Jenna.
Only The Best A Heart of Gold stopped beating, Two shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes The Best. But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day he took you Home. To some you are forgotten, To others just the past. But to us that LOVED and lost you, You memory will always last. In 15 short years, this young, beautiful, spirited girl touched so many hearts and lives. Jenna Mae, we will all always hold your memory dear and love you forever.
Date: 26 Feb 2001
I never knew Jenna, however I did have the honor of meeting her parents for the first time on February 25,2001 and without a doubt, Jenna's spirit lives within her mother, Teresa and Chris , her daddy. I do know Jenna but in a different way than most of you. "Jenna will live forever", by our Savior's Cross and Resurrection he set her free. Most Sincerely, Verna Lee

Dear God, We will always keep Jenna in our prayers, even though i didnt know her I have just got on the team a new player I have gotten the award of the spirit award of Jenna. The things I have heard about Jenna sounds like how I have gotten the award sounds like I will never ever be able to be as good as she ever was on the softball field and off the field. Please let Jenna watch over us when she is in heaven right now and we pray for her because she is an angel watching over us. Amen. #15 always in our hearts.

This poem was forwarded to me and it seemed so fiting that I share it with Jenna's family, Lots of Love, Rhonda Dawson, Sturgeon. **My First Christmas in Heaven**
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny lights like Heaven's stairs, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, You know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above, I sent you each a mamory od my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

SPECIAL ANGEL There's a speical Angel in Heaven that is a part of me. It is not where I wanted her but where God wanted her to be.
She was here but just a moment like a night time shooting star. And though she is in Heaven she isn't very far.
She touched the heart of many like only an Angel can do. I would've held her every minute if the end I only knew.
So I send this special message to the Heaven up above. Please take care of my Angel and send her all my love. ~Author Unknown~

Hello Jenna. I just wanted to tell you I have been thinking about you. I have been busy with classes and was unable to get on here to say hello to you. Happy thanksgiving to you Jenna. I'm sure you were with your family and friends all day today. I still pray for you and for everyone who loves you, that they manage each day easier than the one before. The next time I am on, I will tell you my poem I wrote for my best friend Sarah who passed away. You will love it. Keep watching over us all. Love, Carrie -16 forever-

Jenna, it's so hard to believe it's been six months since you've been taken from us. It's so hard to be thankful with what our family has experienced, but I am thankful that you were a part of our lives for 15 short years. You have taught me so much about living and enjoying life. You have touched so many lives. I know God has a plan and that we'll all be together again someday. Please help comfort us during this holiday season. It won't be the same without your beautiful smile. We love you, Hopper! Aunt Julie and Uncle Steve
Date: 22 Nov 2000
Jenna, It is so hard to believe that you have been gone from us for 6 months. We will never forget you. I want you to know that we think of you everyday and talk about you too. You are always in our prayers, along with your family. It is really hard when we are so far away from them. I only hope they know how much we really love them and that they are always in our prayers. Jenna, send down a special ray of sunshine tomorrow, as I know that your family will need it. It is time to give THANKS and that is we had you in our lives for a short time, but that time was special. We love you! Nee, Don, Melissa & Chelsey

I wrote this poem from my aunts point of veiw when my little couise Daynnah died in a car accident on her way home from a birthday party, I substatuted all the [daynnah's] in the poem for jenna so this is I guess by Jennas mother's point of veiw....[Hi daynna, I love you and i'll see you when I get home say hi too my mom and dad for me!) ~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~**~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I remember walking hand in hand with you, The smell of flowers in late bloom, The way the sun would shine upon your hair. I look into crystal eyes of blue, Making sure you always knew, My love for you would always be there.
But the lord took you away from me, One dark and fateful day i couldn't see, How my life on earth would ever mend.
But in a dream of Angels high so beautiful it made me cry, i seen you walking hand in hand with him.
So lord take care of my little one, Give her love help her find the sun, and walk her through the flowers of late bloom.
walk her through the flowers of late bloom.
walk Jennah through the flowers of late bloom ~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~* Hey Jenna I know you don't know me but your in my prayers and so is your family, daynna is pretty young so she will probably forget too tell my Mom and Dad so would you please? and if God lets you use his computer send all your friends back at McNeil a email they miss you so much, and tell my mom too email too if she gets a Chance [wink]

Jenna, it's been so hard being here with out you, and everyday I think about you and pray for your family that they will continue to be strong, because it is just so hard not having you here with us.

Hello up there, dearest Jenna! I just wanted you to know, I met a friend/teammate of yours over the internet. She's a really funny girl, very sweet. It's a wonder why you were her friend. I wanted to tell you to look down over her, and give her a ray of sunshine over her head so that she knows you are smiling over her. You sure aren't smiling over me up here. First fall ball games and we have been rained out. It would've been my coaching debute. Maybe you did this for me knowing it's going to eat me up inside to watch the ladies all play and I can't anymore. How is my Sarah doing up there? I'm sure you two are having a blast. I know what all your friends and family are experiencing. It has been 4 years since my Sarah has left me, and I still lose sleep over her not being around. One day, we will all meet up and be able to hang out together, practice some ball. I also wanted to ask you if you could tell my Pap if he could watch over me here in a few months. I have to get foot surgery and back surgery, which may have complications. So wish me luck! Hopefully things will go well and I can go with Coach J again this May. Keep on smiling girl! Everyone misses you much! With lots of love, Carrie #3 -16- O:-)

They are going to remove it over the weekend and i just want you to be there with him to let him now that everything is going to be ok and that he knows he has an angel watching over him. With you there nothing can go wrong. Please just watch over him and help him through his surgery. I love you with all of my heart and i never stop thinking about you. Love Chump

I know that you are right beside me all of the time and that is what helps me get through all of my days. Even though I still can't believe you are gone, I know that you are really only just gone from earth and you are still very much here in spirit. Every time I think back to when we were little kids adn we lived only a backyard apart I makes me laugh so hard at all of the fun times we had together and all of the trouble we got into (you got in trouble more than I did, probably :) but you always kept me on my toes) I know you are laughing right along with me!

Jenna, Hey baby doll. I was flying this summer through a lightning storm and I felt you there with me. Did you here me talking to you? It was the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen in air. Your bolts lit the clouds up just like your smile and laughter did to a crowd of people. I pray that your shining star will always be there for your friends, and especially your family. I love them so much Jenna, they are such string people and not only do I admire you now, I admire them as well. I can not even imagine what it is like for them everyday. I love you and miss you and can not believe you are not walking by my side at school. Its so awkward and it just doesn't feel right sitting in english w/o you. I love you lots girly.

Jenna, I have not taken the time to sit down and write to you although everyday I think of you and send you my love. When we pass your place of rest on the way to and from the Express Baseball games I speak to you and feel your presence. Our family misses you very much and would give anything to have been able to spend more of those special times with you. Jason will always care deeply for you and you will always have a special place in his heart; as you are a very special person. I can not express how it still hurts every time I look at your many pictures that are in our house. We feel blessed that you were a part of our lives.

The life that you lead made you a leader and us your followers. Your laughter lit up the room like candles in a dark forest. You were hopes, dreams, miracles and love all at the same time. You always had something to give rather than take. Through hardships and grief you were strong. You shined in the rain and glowed in our hearts. You gave us happiness with your presence, love with your touch, and joy with your smile. You have us emptiness when you left, but I know you will give us the strength to go on in your memory. We will never forget you. I found this while on the internet and it was written by Kandice Westling after she lost one of her beloved friends.

Dearest Jenna, even though 2 months have passed, I've thought about you every day. It's so strange that when you were here on Earth, we didn't hang out much or talk outside of school, but now I wish that we did. I know that I've always loved you with all of my heart because you didn't care about what people thought and that's the way I am too. Everyday you brightened my life whether I was telling stories to Coach Bryce about you being sick in the bathroom or we were rhyming to AFRO for a week strait. I love and miss you so much but know that you're sitting on God's lap right now making him laugh the way you did us down here. I will never forget your joy for life and joy for making others happy. You were a sincerely giving person and truely open hearted. I love you so much and know things wont be the same down here, but we'll have to cope. I'm not grieving because I know you don't want us to. God, thank you for welcoming Jenna into heaven and letting me see what greatness you have. I love you so much. Jenna, you'll always be in my heart and thoughts. I'll see you when God determines my time. I had a fear of death before, but now I dont because I know I'll have you to be stoopid with! I love you and can't wait to see you again. Your beautiful face and smile will lst in my heart forever. I love you.

Dearest Jenna..... Even though we never met, I feel as if I have known you for a long time. Seeing the pictures of you, listeneing to stories your friends had of you, and things Coach J would say, I learned much about you. You have touched my heart in so many ways in so little of time, yet I don't even know you. You probably know about me, for my best friend Sarah who was a softball player left me in our freshman year at Georgia St. I'm sure you two have met and chatted about me and how great you two were at softball. Seeing your pictures, you looked so happy, so beautiful of a smile you have, and we all see it ever day when the sun shines upon us, whether if it's in Texas or in Ohio, and we see your tears everytime it rains. We feel your gentle kiss with each windfall. And we see you in every little girl that walks by, in every softball player that goes out on that field to play. Jenna, you wonderful person, keep that smile on your face. For one day, we will all be together agane, and I would love to meet you and we can chat about our softball memories. I will be talking to you once a week, I can promise you that little angel. Keep watch over your teammates, friends,and family. They all love you and miss you much. You will always be in my prayers. With much love, Carrie #3, USA AI softball player Tell Sarah #16 I love her and miss her for me! O:-)

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path that God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and I left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Task left undone must stay that way. I've found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it now with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now; He set me Free. You are so very special Jenna, and I am so honored to be able to say that I knew you and loved you!

Jenna, I still can not believe that you are gone and that I will only see you when it is my time to come. I talk to you everyday and I wish that I could know what you are doing right now. I wish I could be with you. I know that you can see me every step of the way. I miss you so much and I never stop thinking about you. I love you and miss you dearly.

I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said, "For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she's gone, it may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for Me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you and shall her stay be brief, You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. We all love you so much Jenna Mae!!

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little--but not too long. And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me--but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step one the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me--But Let me Go. It is still so very hard to believe that you, Jenna, are not here anymore. There hasn't been a single day that I haven't thought about you. I miss you and love you dearly!

Life is such a precious thing. We all learned that in a very hard way when we lost the beautiful Jenna. She was so charismatic, beautiful, and friendly. I hope that we all learned something from this tragic experience, to live life to the fullest just as Jenna had always done. Jenna also continues to remind me that everyday could be your last and to tell everyone that you love just how important they are to you. Spenes, Oiens, Embrees, and Rachel I love you and think of you everyday. You are always in my thoughts and prayers, and I miss you very much! The way I think about it is that when I leave this world the first thing that I am going to see at the gates is Jenna smiling that big Texas smile waiting for me and all of you. Love You DiDi

Jenna - we sent you a special friend to take care of for Alyssa, her collie -Holly. She was old and her hip was gone, couldn't walk. But now she can. We miss her very much but know you two are together. Play ball with her - she use to love to catch and fetch Alyssa's softballs. We will all meet again. She went straight from our arms to yours and that makes us feel much better. We love you Holly and Jenna Mae.

June 22,2000 I had trouble sleeping again last night. You were constantly in my thoughts and I was so aware that today marked "one month" since you were taken away from this earthly place. My monthly newsletters are also on their way out-with your memorial on the front cover. I am praying that they get a great response; as I think it adds comfort to family and friends and continues to spread your message. I know that it is therapy for my soul. In just one short meeting with you-and the brief time I spent getting to know your parents just a little; I was touched by how special you (all) are. You were obviously a huge "gift" to your family, but I would bet that if you were here now-you would say that they were a "gift" to you. My prayers are for you-but also for every single person that you touched with your beautiful example of actually LIVING life. You lived without fear, you lived like you enjoyed life-and you lived in LOVE. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS US ALL!

Please thank God for me for letting me know you. You will always be our guardian angel. We love you and God bless you and Chris, Teresa, Lindsey, Rachel, and your grandparents. I love you Coach Phillips. .

Jenna, after all of the stories that everyone talks about it sounds like you were just an angel in the making. God gave you to us to bring happiness and laughter for the best 15 years of our lives. You were so great at everything you did and I look up to you for that. I loved seeing you run up to the special people and brightening their day. I know that you are a guardian angel know and you are looking over everyone. I will see you again one day when everything is joyfull in Heaven. You are dearly missed and you will always be in my heart. I Love You Jenna.

My prayer is for the family of Jenna... may God provide you with the strength, courage, and peace that will get you through these difficult times. Those of us with faith know that Jenna is taken care of and in a place that knows no pain, heartache or disappointment. Our prayers should be for those left behind to deal with the tremendous loss and grief. Know that you are in mine and Matt's prayers and that we are here for you... anytime.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun without rain. But God did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and a light for the way, And for all who believe in His Kingdom above, He answers their faith with everlasting love. I know that Jenna is in heaven now, looking down on all who loved her, giving each of us that big, beautiful smile that we all loved so much. I love you to pieces Jenna!

Dear Father in Heaven. You have plans for each of us and we have no idea why things occur the way they do. But as we learn to trust in you and follow Your Will, then we can be at peace with whatever happens and share our love the way Jesus taught us. You are awesome God and by bringing Jenna back home to you, so many people have reflected on their own lives and become more loving and caring. Even though I did not know Jenna, the sharing of pictures and memories by her friends and family demonstrate what a wonderful person Jenna was and that her spirit will be with so many for the rest of their lives on Earth. I pray that you will comfort Jenna's family and friends as they continue to grieve her passing and fill their minds and hearts with wonderful and lasting fond memories of her. May you bless us all with Your Grace, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen. A friend in Christ from Bloomington, Illinois.

Lord, Keep Jenna in your eternal care. Allow her life and testimony to lead others to a special relationship with you. Father, watch over her family, and speak to their hearts and minds daily letting them know you are with them always and that Jenna is with you in paradise. Thank you for her life and the blessings we received by knowing her and seeing her witness. In Christ's name.

Jenna you and your family are in my prayers always. It is very difficult to lose someone who seems like that is what you live for. To Jenna's family, just remember she is always with you...always. She will be by your side in the hard times when you fell you can't go any further and in the good times. Although you can not see her, her spirit will live with you forever. Mr. Spene, you told me yesterday that you turned to your side (Jenna) and asked her to help Ashley out and get a clutch hit in the game, and ashley hit a gapper. That should help you in knowing that she is with you always. I obviously cannot feel your pain but I pray for you every day and I hope that you continue to follow god. Especially in difficult times. It is he who has comforted me and helped me to get pass mine. She is free as a bird now and she is so happy. Be happy for her. I love you all so much and my thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I didn't know Jenna but we know her grandparents JW and Phyllis Spene. Please remember, in your sorrow, you have many friends how care. You are loved and you are special, and you're thought about in prayer. With Sympathy. Lloyd and Lynda(Sexton) Neubauer
I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to Jenna's family and friends. I met Jenna just once at a basketball camp in which I was working as a coach, and I remember her as a very fun-loving, outgoing, and enthusiastic young woman. I am also close to her high school basketball coach, and she often talked fondly of Jenna and what she added to her team. I know what it feels like to lose a student. The comfort I found was that I knew God had blessed me with the opportunity to be touched by this young person's life, if only for a short while. I pray that Jenna's family and friends can find the same comfort and peace in their faith. And, I offer a short prayer for Jenna also, for God to take her in his arms now. coach kelly jo sexton, dripping springs, tx.
