I had the good fortune to be Jennifer’s daughter-in-law for a time. She was a wonderful woman. Tough and funny. She loved my son and welcomed us into her family; as well as welcoming my parents. We are in shock at this sudden loss, but will keep her alive in our hearts. All our love and prayers to the Pontecorvo Family.
A wonderful person who did wonderful things. Ms. Pontecorvo made the world a better place through her kindness and compassion. She is missed dearly.
