"I’m her daughter and I’ve watched my whole life how impacted so many kids are by my mom," stated Miranda Wiseman. "She brights up so many lives because of the way she treats and loves people. I always feel as though I have tons of brothers and sisters because of how many people call her their mom."
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Jennifer for three years. I can confidently say I would not be the teacher I am today if it weren’t for Jennifer’s constant support, encouragement, and expertise. She truly has a heart for kids," stated Hannah Laird.
