Jen and I were in the Academy of Music at Mount Royal College (now a university) together. We spent many years attending master classes and performing for clinicians from all over the world. She was an amazing person - a friend to all, beautiful, talented and someone I admired. I’m truly saddened to discover she has passed well before her time. RIP Jen

My condolences to all family and those who mourn. Special prayers for Paul and Margaret.

I will always remember you as a shinning light in the sometimes dark halls of SWC.

A few years ago you posted your dog passed and you and Greg were struggling, so I mailed you a care package from Victoria, BC. Since then, we have chatted on Messenger and you laughed at all my dumb stories (yes they were all about me). When you were in Calgary, I sent you a book and a few other small things; Cat told me after how much it meant to you that I took the time. We got to talk at the reunion and had a chance to catch up a little more.

Next time I am in Calgary, I am going to take my kids to the zoo and I will smile and think of you.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to all. Heartbreaking news.

Jen’s smile and joy for life changed many who met her. My memories of Jen will be the fun filled days of our youth on Keats. It weighs heavy on the heart to hear of her passing far too soon. Our thoughts and Prays are with her Husband and family at this difficult time.

I have been very sad since hearing the news of the loss of Jennifer. We went to high school together and I always felt her kind spirit and fun approach to life.

I deeply understand the complications with watching a family member suffer from addictions and one often feels so helpless. I am just so sorry

I have thought of her often recently and had a smile on my face when I remembered some fun times together

Please accept my sincere condolences

My time spent with Jenn left me with a greater appreciation for what it means to love and connect authentically with others. Her empathy for those who suffer, her clever wit, her kindness and caring attitude, her humbleness and her essence is something I won’t forget. I will remember her with such fondness and respect. She was a beautiful person, truly. My deepest condolences to her family and dear friends. xo

I’m so sorry Greg. I hope you can recover from this. I can’t even imagine… My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Boeda and Dahl Family,

Jennifer was a great musician and very kind person. You are an amazing family. It’s wonderful Jennifer had such incredibly loving parents, sisters and in-laws. What a gift your family is. I will always remember Jennifer’s smile and fun personality. Our condolences to all of you. You remain in our prayers.

With love,

Vandekerkhove Family

My sisters and I grew up in Dalhousie, across the street from the Boeda family. Our hearts go out to the entire family. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Doug and I want to extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of Jen- a beautiful wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. We go back to the 80’s in our earliest memories of the Boeda family and we have felt a special bond ever since. We are praying for the Lord’s comfort and strength at this time of deep sorrow. I believe that the service of the celebration of Jen’s life will be a sacred and extraordinary time.

I am heart broken for Paul, Marg ,Michelle who I know ! I taught Jennifer when she was in jr high school and such a wonderful young woman ! Please know I am thinking of you all, Peggy Schieman

Dear Greg

We are saddened by your loss of Jenn.

We remember so well the fun we had with both of you going to football games together. That was so long ago. She was always so lively. A lovely girl.

Our love to you.

Jennifer was a joy to perform with and to teach with. I loved her zest for life and her bubbly personality. I never felt anything but happy and relaxed when I was with her. Sincere condolences to her immediate and extended family. It was such a shock to get this news.

Our sincere condolences to all of Jennifer’s family, but with special feeling for our friends, Marg & Paul, her parents. From Sydney & Lesley Pugh

I am keeping all of you who love Jennifer in my thoughts these days; especially Greg. I hope that your memories of her can give you hope in your grief.

I went to high school with Jen…and recently was able to reunite with her again last summer (at the SWC reunion). She was a beautiful, talented person…inside and out. So sorry for your loss.
