It is a sad thing that has occured. I, personally, think its ridiculous that there is a right to bear arms in America. If it saves more lives to ban them than not, they should be banned. Look after yourself Jenna. Cookies help! I can’t believe was a senseless loss of life has occured. It is a sad thing that has occured.

Look after yourself Jenna. Cookies help!

We all lose when a precious soul dies. Guns in and of themselves are not bad. But people don't know how to use them properly. They can be used for good or evil. Ignorance of how powerful and dangerous they can be can lead to the loss of innocent life. Our society needs to be educated in the use of guns. Banning them won't save lives. We must maintain our right to bear arms. But we must know how to properly use those arms. I hope you'll make it your mission to educate young people on gun safety, the proper use of guns, and to fear and respect them.

I havent been able to stop thinking about and praying for you since I first heard of the accident this morning. though we have never met, I am praying for you as if I've known you my whole life. Everytime I think about the strength you and your family is showing, it brings tears to my eyes. I know that there is a celebration in heaven because John is finally home. When my brother was killed 8 months ago, the healing began to come when I realized that I really was going to see him again one day... and the same is true for you and your brother. With Christ we know that you aren't saying goodbye to John, just see you soon. My brother was also 19 and loved to surf... I bet you they are great friends by now :) please let me know if there is anything at all I can do. You are in my prayers oh, jenna.

Your attitude with everything you've had to face these past few days is very inspiring. I've kept you and your family in my thoughts all weekend. Your brother seemed like a truly amazing person and his memory will live on with each of you. Jenna, you are such a strong person.

I just read your most recent posts and burst out in tears. I have a 19 year old brother too who is a fun loving, adventurous guy just like your brother who I could not imagine losing. I also lost a young cousin this past summer, and I know you are a religous, but sometimes life is just not far. At my cousins funeral the priest made amazing point; Although he may have passed away, he will never become past tense; he will always be present in your family, in your life and as your brother.

I have no words, except to say how sorry I am for your wonderful family to have to endure this horrible tragedy. I worked with your Mom at Ballard Designs and would always share stories about our kids, you could always tell that John enjoyed life and had a heart of gold. It was great that you were able to come home and spend these past few months since school, I loved your articles about the chocolate chip cookies that John had to make for his school project. Tell your Mom and Dad that they and your family are in my prayers and I will see them on Wed. Karen Teague Jenna & Family,

Like so many others, I rarely post, but I read your blog daily. Your positive views on life are even more of an inspiration than your wonderful food. I aspire to live my life as you project your life on this blog - just as I'm sure many, many people aspire to live their lives as John lived his. Reading your blog always lifts me up a bit - and the least I can do in return is lift you and your family up in prayer. I wish you strength and peace...
