She graced every individual she ever came across with her loving, caring, kind, and hilarious personality. She not only lit up a room, she lit up an entire village of houses, her light was so bright. And it will continue to be bright, in the hearts of every person she touched. Each of us, that got to spend a moment with her, were truly blessed and honored to have a heart of gold in our presence. The contents of her heart though, were worth far more than gold. Diamonds, are worth dirt compared to the heart she had. Every single minute all of us had with her, will be cherished forever. Her love of Bon Jovi, the Steelers, her Family, and her puppies defined much of her life. If one word could be chosen to define her, it would be love. She is love incarnate, the physical embodiment of everything love is. We're all so grateful that, she shared her love with us and she taught us how to love like her as well... Jennifer Lynn Neil was and forever will be, an eternal gift for us all. Her heart, was simply too good for this world.
