slurp 7020 Report post Posted April 21, 2013 If you were not her customer you may want to just skip this and move on to next thread. If this upsets or offends anyone I apologize. Out of respect I am asking you keep any comments of poor taste to yourself and simply ignore this post if it bothers you in any way. If the mods decide this isn't appropriate I understand and apologize. Ok, lots of guys have been asking about Jen and out of the blue she called me the other day. She is doing well and thanks everyone for asking. She asked me to pass on a message and to be honest I am not real comfortable doing this or even sure it's appropriate but as a good friend of hers, here goes ..... Some of you know that she suffered a tragedy a while back, shortly after she left work in Ottawa. She lost her youngest son and BF in a car accident due to a drunk driver. They were on the way to see Jen who was in the hospital, her older kids were hurt pretty badly but recovered nicely since. There is WAY more to this story than meets the eye and this is where I struggle to know how much or what to say. I had seen Jen a few times after the accident as a friend to support her and we talked a lot as she knew I had lost a son as well. But 5 months later I started a project for work that involves travel. Upon return her phone numbers no longer worked and I decided she wanted to be left alone so I did not pursue contacting her in any way. I'll just mention that her son predicted his own and his father's death (this was confirmed to me by Jen's daughter) and in a strange twist of fate contributed to the accident which took their life. All of these unusual events have caused Jen to find religion. She quit massage and is doing hair only in BC. This all sounds unusual I am sure but keep in mind I am relaying this for Jen. Before his death her son told Jen that he was going to go to heaven soon but warned Jen that she was going to hell with her customers. This is what has Jen concerned and why she has changed her life but feels VERY strongly that her former customers need to be warned of this. She feels she can't truly be at ease until this is said so here I am feeling very conflicted writing this. She misses her customers who were also friends and wants them to know. She also extends an invitation to call her if you like, I will pass on her phone number via PM if you can convince me you were a friend of hers who will not call to upset her. Keep in mind she lives on the west coast and this is long distance, so it will cost you to call her. And don't expect a quick call if you want her to elaborate :) Those of you who know me will know this is no hoax and I do not endorse or condone the sentiments or beliefs expressed by Jen. This is her request and as a good friend of hers I am putting myself out on a limb to help her, much as I have done through the years. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whiteman 14028 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 I'm glad she's putting her life back together. She was always more than just another provider of services to her customers, everybody I know had a personal connection with her that went beyond just business. I don't know, I hesitate to contact her, as I think she should be allowed to live her new life without reminders from her old life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 I never knew Jen and like others am glad she was able to put her life back in order but her message (intended for her clients not even me) did make me thinking a lot and re-evaluating my life style..... My best wishes to her. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was always more than just another provider of services to her customers, everybody I know had a personal connection with her that went beyond just business. I don't know, I hesitate to contact her, as I think she should be allowed to live her new life without reminders from her old life. I never realized how many people felt the same way I did. There was truely a personal connection I had with her. I read about the accident & it took a bit before I realized who it was. (a week before Christmas) but never heard what happened to her & her older kids after being in the hospital. Very happy to hear they are managing to get their lives back on track. Hunter...I have to say, it's got me thinking too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteman 14028 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Jen/Erica has always been a little dramatic, so it's hard to know what to think of this revelation. But everybody deserves their second chances. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteman 14028 Report post Posted April 26, 2013 Just wanted to let everyone know, that I should clarify what I meant by "dramatic". For those of us who knew her, in the light of what was happening to her at that time in her life such as her ongoing personal issues, which was soon followed completely unexpectedly by that overwhelming family tragedy, it is not surprising if she now remembers those events a bit more mystically than before. She was already having a tough time, and it only got worse. Trauma and tragedy amplifies memories. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
