Jenna was a great cousin to me. All though I was only 3 when she died, I'd hate being awake at night, listening to my parents discuse her death. It was very hard for us to let her go, but she'll always be a cousin to me, even if she has passed away. Emmy B., Submit Story

I met jenna in 6th grade. I remember always thinking she was so silly. she was always happy and singing everywhere she went. We would be in the locker room after p.e. and she'd start singing "lean on me" at the top of her lungs. She would always ask me to join in. Sometimes we'd take turns singing different verses and sometimes we'd just sing the whole thing together. Either way, i'll never forget how good it felt when we both nailed every note! I miss you Jenna! We'll sing together again one day. Until then. , Submit Story

I never knew Jenna, but my name is also Jenna, and i went to McNeil also. I would just like to say after Jenna died i became friends with the driver of the car, (Jennifer Wren), and because of what happened to Jenna, Jenny and I became a part of A.A., and became sober.

I remember the last time I ever saw Jenna. March 18, 2000. Lindsey was getting ready to take me to the airport and I had to wake her up to tell her bye. I remember what she was wearing, an old white t-shirt and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. She woke up the second I said her name, and she hugged me and told me that she loved me. I told her to be careful and that I loved her too and was so glad I was able to see her, since it had been two years since I had seen the entire family. I thank god every single day that I made that week long trip to Texas in March. I remember little things about that week with Jenna. I remember the night before I left, we were in her room for hours and she was showing me millions of pictures of her softball team and friends and talking about Matt. It was so unbelieveable to me that she was grown up. I was used to the little girl that drove me crazy in Sturgeon. But, she really did grow into a beautiful, young woman, and although I wasn't able to see her as much as before, I was so proud of her and miss her always. I'll never forget her and the last time I saw her. Miranda Chase, Submit Story

when i first came to mcneil i didn't know that many people and i was a pretty shy person, exactly opposite of Jenna. we had just started pre-season basketball and so i was getting to know all the girls slowly. one day in the locker room Jenna came straight up to me and said, "HEY! do you want to curl my hair?" my first thought was what is this girl doing? i don't even know her and shes asking me to curl her hair?!? So i shyly was like, uh sure i guess. and awkwardly curled her hair while she put on her makeup. but of course it wasn't awkward for Jenna because she wasn't a stranger to anybody.

Hey "da babeee", remember that time I was REALLY sick and I couldn't give you a ride to school that day, but as soon as you got out of school you came straight over to my house to see how I was doing. As usual, I think you just walked right into my house and ran into my mother half-way up the stairs. She told you I was VERY sick and you shouldn't go in there to avoid catching what I had. I then heard you say that you could always make your "Meestuur" feel better. With those words and that irresistible smile, like evrybody else, she too, granted your wish. I still remember lying there, in bed, seeing you jump through the door with all that energy and that smile of yours that we used to always talk about. Even though I had a temperature of about 101-102, after spending about twenty minutes with you I was actually sitting up in bed and even able to laugh occasionally. No matter how low I felt you ALWAYS knew how to get me in a good mood. Never in my life have I meet anyone quite like you. You're SO special to me. I'll love you always. Keep helping me smile.

I never will forget this, ever. It was one of the funniest times spent with Jenna. Me, Lindsey, Jenna and my sister Melissa, were riding in Melissa's car to Lindsey's house in Sturgeon. We were there and Lindsey and Jenna were both out and I was on my way when Jenna just slammed the door as hard as she could. At first, I didn't know what happened. Then, as calmly as I have ever been, I looked at Jenna and said, "Jenna, open the door." She was like, Are you crazy, do it yourself! Again, I said, "Jenna, please open the door." Then, Jenna finally realized that she had slammed my fingers in the door. This was all going on while Lindsey was laughing so hard I thought she was going to pee her pants. That was great!

I remember the first time Jenna and I ever had a real conversation, It was our freshman year during volleyball tryouts. She came up to me with all this energy and was like "I have this feeling that me and you are going to be good friends."  I thought that was really weird that she said that because in 8th grade Jennifer Rojas used to always tell me how she played basketball with this girl Jenna who was exactly like me, and how we were probably going to be best friends, because we were so much alike!   Once I told Jenna that, she freeked out and thought that was really funny because she had know idea that I was the Erin that Jennifer would always tell her about.   After we had that discussion, Jenna came to the conclusion that we definatly were going to be good friends, and From that point on, we were!  I miss you so much Jenna Mae-I can't wait until I can finally see you again! i love you, i love you, i love you!!!, Submit Story

I remember when you had hurt your knee, and you, erin and me went over to your house and sat inside your house waiting for you to get off the phone with your mom. You were begging her to stay the night at my house and she wouldn't let you.

Me being the nice person that I am, volunteered to memorize your code to the alarm and look through your messy room for your phone. And here I return about 10 minutes later, to only see your huge smile and a laughing face. You had the cell phone the entire time.

I remember in freshmen year English class, Jenna was singing the Dixie Chicks song " When you were mine " for like three days straight. It was my favorite song at the time, and it aggravated me so much because she knew every single word to it, and I didn't. I would make her sing it for me like 30 times a day, and one day she goes " Ok kimmy, I know what I'll do" and she sat there for forever and wrote down the entire song on a piece of notebook paper, so that I could learn the words. :) It was so funny.

I will never forget the time that we were coming home from a volleyball game and Jenna was in one of her usual moods again-bouncing off the walls- and I wasn't having a very good day, so Jenna thought that it was her responsibility to cheer me up, so while I was laying down, she sat on my stomach so I couldn't move, and she got right in my face!  I was so mad, I couldn't believe that she did that.   But that didn't last very long because it was pretty much impossible to stay mad at her for too long!      Erin Colleran, Submit Story

Jenna and I must have been in fourth grade Junior Girl Scouts when our troop took that trip to St. Louis.  She was still living in Missouri then.  On our second day of the trip we visited the Arch.  We all got to the top and noticed that it was a particularly windy day (the Arch was swaying slightly).  I was doing ok with my phobia of heights until I felt the floor beneath me rocking.  Being the wimp that I am, I started to cry uncontrollably, thinking of the news headline for that evening: "Girl Scouts die when Arch Crumbled!"  Well...as always... someone (I won't name names...) wanted a group picture.  Jenna volunteered to be the photographer.   No one could get me to stop bawling and smile, until...  This lady had her butt sticking out over the railing blocking Jenna's shot with her old woman coat.   With this most "I don't want to get caught" look on her face, she folded this woman's coat tail onto her back...  well... that did it.  I smiled.   As soon as the flash went off, security whisked us down stairs so I wouldn't scare the other sight-seers.  Jenna put her arm around me and comforted me all the way down.  Thanks Jenna. -Heather M.

Freshman year we were in the same english class. We had a project assigned to us and we had decided to go to a friends house to wok on it. Well, with Jenna if she wanted to work you worked and if she didn't then we'd goof off. Ashley Rexroats Dad had an awesome Karaoke machine that Jenna couldn't wait to get her pretty little hands on. We were looking for a song that we both knew when we turned to "Its your Love" by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Jenna Assigned me to Faith's Singing part and she sang Tim's. Soon enough Jenna had taken over both parts 'cause I was to embarrassed to actually sing loud enough for everyone to hear.  Jenna singing the song by her self while we all laughed hysterically always makes me think of her when I hear "our (her) song":) Right after that Jenna thoroughly impressed Ashley's dad by singing the whole "you can call me Waylon Jennings" song. It was great. Somehow even when Jenna was goofing off and not trying at all her voice still sounded like a little angel's. I Love you! Jessie Perez , Submit Story

The other night we were working on the program for the Austin Area All-Stars Softball Team exhibition game.  All of the sheets were spread out on a pool table.  It was getting late and I had been sitting toward the end of the pool table, beside a corner pocket.  For no reason I reached in to that pocket to see what balls were there.   First, I pulled the 15 ball out.  Then, I pulled the 5 ball out.  Seeing one more ball in the pocket, and it being yellow, I thought sure if would be the 9.   It was the 1.  Placing the balls on the table I had the 1, 5, and 15 balls.   For those of you who don't know, Jenna's Hearts of Texas number was 15.   Everyone there had their mouth fall open and could not believe what we saw.   The odds of that just happening are probably close to the odds of winning a lottery.  Who knows?  Jenna might have wanted us to know she was there with us also "helping".

No one can forget the Westwood softball game.  The girls had recently worked extremely hard at the rodeo to raise money for softball.  Savanna, the resident fashion expert of the team, purchased a cowboy hat.  Our next game was at Westwood, and Savanna, always in style, showed up with the hat on.  The next thing I (Coach McBride) knew, Jenna, in her jeans and tank top, was wearing the cowboy hat in the dugout.   We ended up beating Westwood for the first time in 3 or 4 years, and everybody knows that the reason we won is because Jenna gave us power through "the hat.", Submit Story

Jenna always seemed to have the most fun during softball season.  One time, we were coming back from a long trip from Bryan, and we decided to stop and let the girls get something to drink and take a potty break.  I stayed on the bus until everyone was off, then I went inside.  As I made my way toward the women's restroom, I heard laughing coming from the men's restroom.  The door opened, and out came Jenna and her accomplice.  I sent them back to the bus.  About 20 minutes down the road, I heard a loud POP!  One of the girls in the front of the bus asked me, "Coach, who has the balloons?"  I said, "I don't think those are balloons.", Submit Story

Jenna was my "big sister" in softball. She was the only sophomore with a little sister (it was a senior thing) but that didn't matter to her what so ever. On the day of our last game I was in the cafeteria when I heard someone screaming Crooksy on the top of their lungs. I looked around wondering who it was and I met eyes with Jenna. She got up from her table and walked over to me with her hands behind her back. When she came up to me she stuck a small silver cardboard box in my hands and instead of opening it right away I started to talk to her for a minute first. And in the middle of a sentence she blurted " Aren't you going to open it, Crooksy? You dummy, what do you think that is for?" So I opened it and inside was a silver horseshoe necklace and before I could even say thank you she looked at me and said " I am going to kill you if you lose that because you are going to be my little sis' until I get out of this place and I am going to add on to it for the next two years" I miss you Jenna.-- Misti "Crooksy" Crooks, Submit Story

This happened when Jenna was probably 8 or 9 in Sturgeon. Lindsey and I were sitting in the living room, watching TV and wanting Jenna to leave us alone.

Lets just say, that was the night that ended me teasing her all the time!

  Jenna is best remembered for her achievements in sports because she had concentrated on these activities during the past couple of years. But Jenna had many talents and we should not overlook her other accomplishments. Around age 8 she started piano lessons in Sturgeon, Missouri, and made phenomenal progress. Billie (her Grandmother) and I went to a recital one Sunday afternoon in Sturgeon. She played her pieces well, and we were especially impressed by her steady rhythm. At Cedar Valley Middle School in Round Rock she signed up for Beginning Band, playing the clarinet, an instrument which Teresa, her mother, had played all through high school and first year at college. Jenna made excellent progress on this instrument, too. She was always placed near the top of the clarinet section. The summer of 1996 she attended the Longhorn Middle School Band Camp at the University of Texas, and we heard her take part in an excellent end-of-camp band concert. Also at Cedar Valley, Jenna sang in the school choir. Jenna was strongly motivated to excel in whatever she did. At McNeil High School, she realized she could not excel in both music and sports, so she chose sports. While we were disappointed that she put further development of her musical talent on hold, we are also very proud of her accomplishments in athletics and of the awards and recognition she achieved.

Jenna was one of my bench buddies (when she was in the dugout and not trying to find money to but food!), she just couldn't sit still and relax.  She would always get bored, so we would throw in the dugout until coach would get mad and tell us to stop and then we would just go out behind the dugout and continue. I remember the Westwood game where we got bored and figured out that the rocks in the dugout could draw on the wall and Jenna made this picture of some guy on the wall, and she tried to keep it there as long as she could but coach finally turned around to see what was going on Jenna quickly threw water on the picture and made it disappear.  Then there was our Round Rock game where we were losing 8-0 and we got bored once again and decided to go exploring in the woods.  So me and Jenna snuck out slowly into the woods and found lots of little trails that we went exploring on and came back a good 15 minutes later and our team was still on the field and coach never even noticed.  I had a lot of fun with Jenna and will definitely never forget her and I don't think anyone will.  I pray for her and her family.  Ashley Ransom, Submit Story

At the beginning of the year during volleyball season, Jenna and Ashley Abrams got in trouble for throwing things at the coaches and had to have assigned seats on the bus. So when basketball season came along they still had assigned seats. While we were leaving for a b-ball tournament and waiting for coach Phillips on the bus, Jenna got the urge to attack us and jumped on top of us. Coach Phillips heard us screaming when she walked on the bus and assigned us seats behind Jenna and Ashley for the rest of the season. WE were so mad at first but Jenna made everything interesting from slapping coach on the bottom to singing songs as loud as she could. She almost made you WANT to get in trouble with her to make life more interesting. We had fun Jenna Mae and we'll keep getting in twice as much trouble and make you proud.- kim turley, pepper , Submit Story

one of the greatest times that i had with Jenna is when our McNeil softball went to the Broken Spoke, a country line dancing place, and we asked the singer to sing a song by David Allen Coe. He played one and we did not know the words so we asked him to sing another one. He did and Jenna and i knew every word to that song. Jenna being the brave one of the bunch dragged me up on stage and asked the singer if we could sing. We got up there and Jenna was singing so loud that the veins in her neck were popping out. It was great. Before i knew it Jenna had pushed the singer out of the way and we were singing at the top of our lungs. Jenna  is a great person and she will never be forgotten.

Well i waited on Jenna to get ready and by that time it was already 2:30. Finally she was ready to go and we headed to the elevator. I don't know what came over that kid sometimes but she would get the weirdest urges. We got on the elevator and she felt like she should try to open up the elevator doors while it was moving. We got stuck between floors and it took the hotel at least 45 minutes to get the elevator up and running again. Needless to say our coach wasn't very happy, but he wasn't surprised either. With Jenna around you never knew what you were going to get into. But i would trade a minute of it for anything!, Submit Story

I remember when Jenna was pretty young, we still lived in Missouri, I was asleep one afternoon in my bedroom.  All of the sudden I felt this stinging pain on the side of my neck.  I woke up and saw Jenna there beside me at the bed with tweezers in her hand.  I asked, "Jenna, what are you doing?"  Not knowing she had actually seen a whisker I had missed shaving said, "You had a splinter in your neck Daddy, I was just pulling it out!"  -Dad-, Submit Story

One of the funniest things that I think Jenna ever did on the hearts for her first tournament.  She had already got in trouble for some previous actions which I can't remember, and then she had this crazy impulse to hit this red button that was on the light poles.  She dared me to do it first but I thought that it would be stupid and it wouldn't do anything so I said no, then she just jumped up and hit the button...It was about 10:30pm that night so all the lights where on; when she hit that button all the lights shut off and no one could figure out why...it was so hilarious! We tried to hold back our laughing but it was too funny so she told one of the coaches that she threw her shoe up there and it hit it...and the believed her for some odd reason... after about 30 minutes to an hour the lights came back on!!!  Some people were frustrated with her but I was still cracking up.  I guess that would be one of the fondest memories of Jenna I have. It basically captured her attitude for life...outgoing and never thinking about anything twice just going for it.  She was the craziest and most hilarious person I knew.  I love you Jenna!!! ~Leianne Pettus, Submit Story
