Christmas Update
To keep Jenny's profile up over Xmas, boxes of small candles (tea-lights) have been placed in various shops in Richmond, inviting people to take one and light it for Jenny over Xmas. Over 1000 have been distributed so far and they are proving to be very popular as some of the outlets have been asking for more! The candles have been wrapped in clear cellophane with pink hearts and tied with ribbon. Attached to the candle is a small business card with a little poem on one side and Jenny's picture on the other, along with the blogspot details and asking people to light a candle for Jenny. We are so so grateful to a 'posse' of friends who have gathered together on a number of occasions to make these little gifts and distribute them. (One in particular, who has taken the lead and I won't name that person here.....but we are so indebted to you for arranging this). Also on the Xmas tree in the Co-Op where Jenny worked, mock presents have been hung, which have photographs of Jenny on the front of them. Some posters have also been refreshed, with different wording on them, to bring the point home, that Jenny has still not been found. Before Christmas, larger candles will be placed in about 3 of the pubs that Jenny played pool in. These have little miniature posters on 3 sides of each of them, with photo's and little statements.
Don't forget to light a candle yourselves for Jenny over Xmas, keep your fingers crossed and pray that soon, we will get something substantial and positive, as soon as possible in the New Year.

21st Birthday Memories For Jenny.
It is with special memories that we think of Jenny at this time as she would have been 21 years of age on Friday 6th October 2006. She was a gentle, unique young woman who should have been here with us to celebrate this day. Tragically she is not and as our daughter we will carry her in our hearts and minds forevermore.
Jenny was not a difficult teenager though she had her moments; just like any other. Just before Jenny's terrible demise, she had spoken of her aspirations and how she planned to change a few things for the better. She had hoped to go back to college to study environment related subjects, with the aim of gaining a career working outdoors. She was an independent girl and didn't really take to working indoors or in office surroundings. She had found new freedom and mobility with her first car, which she only had for two months. Jenny's views on things were becoming more mature and in short, her wee character was developing and changing into that of a young adult.....she was finding herself. Sadly, that wee character has not been allowed to evolve and she did not deserve to be taken from us all in this way. Someone has taken her life and not even afforded her the basic right of being taken care of properly. We so desperately need to find out where she is.
As parents, we should have been preparing and getting ready for this special time in her life, but instead, we wait and hope that her wee soul will be found so we can take care of her. We also wait for justice to be done for her and we hope and pray that this will come soon.
If you can, wherever you are, light a candle for Jenny on her birthday and leave a message with your thoughts here on this blog........ for "Our Wee Jen" (Even if you have left one before) Thank You.
The Nicholl Family.

I KNOW YOU ALL WILL BE THINKING OF JENIFER ON HER BIRTHDAY..I WILL....AS I DO EVERYDAY. I LOVE AND MISS HER SO MUCH.
IT HAS ALL COME AROUND SO QUICKLY, BUT I AM SURE THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN FOR YOU ALL. THIS IS JUST TO SAY WE ARE ALL WITH YOU THROUGH THIS SADNESS AND PRAY FOR A RESOLUTION VERY SOON.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family, I will light a candle for her on her birthday and remember the lovely little girl I used to look after.
Melanie Stokes (was Nutt)
I was so proud that you were born on my birthday. I will light a candle for you Jen, and for Ann and Brian. God bless you x x x x x
We are thinking of all the family, and just hope it gets easier to get on with your lives as time goes by.
Tony & Carole
It is difficult to know what to say - I hope & pray that Jenny is found and brought to rest. I remember a happy carefree teenager who was a credit to her family. My son is 21 soon and I can't imagine the pain of not being able to celebrate this with him.
Over the last year I have got to know Ann & Brian, they are wonderful people and I can see where Jenny got her caring nature from. May your strength continue.
xx
Jenny Happy, Happy Birthday! I hold the memories of my cousin so very close to my heart. My mum and I just recently took a hike of a beautiful area near Price, UT. We saw an old mining car, spray painted on the front was "4 Jenny". We looked at each other, and I couldn't help but get a little tear in my eye...surrounded by the beauty of the earth with my loved ones...I wish she were here to share in these moments with us! I know she is in spirit! Live, Love, Laugh! Love you Jenny!
Thinking of you Jenny on your 21st birthday - with love from Sadie - Angela - Marie and Sean xxxx

To Ann Brian & all the family
Thinking of you at this sad time. Although I did not know Jenny (I think she was a small child when I saw her last) I am sure she was lovely. I can never understand why bad things happen to good people it is something that I am still tring to fathom. I pray that Jenny is at peace now and I will light a candle for her on the 6th.
TO MY NIECE...

Your cousin KeAnne
Darling Jenny,
No one can take away the memories we shared........however, how cruel is it for someone to take away the time we should have had together. I treasure every minute we had and carry you in my heart. Tender Mercies..............Auntie May
Happy 21st, Jenny. My thoughts are with you and your family. I don't know any of you but I feel your loss and sense of frustration, and hope that one day soon the truth of this will be told. My love and strength to you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jenny and her family today. We speak about Jenny often and remember the confident young woman she was growing into. God bless all of you at this most painful time.
The Roe family x
There will be many candles today for what would have been Jenny's 21st birthday celebrations.
Jenny if love was measured in light your family would never have felt this darkness.
My love & prayers

Thinking of you Jenny on this your birthday. Love Phil and Sue xx
i read the message you left on lisa dorrians website lisa was a friend of mine so i sort of know how yous are feeling knowing that jenny has probably been killed and having no idea where she is i know thats the hardest part for me the not knowing if we will ever have a place to go to be with lisa i will keep you in my thoughts and hope that soon this nightmare will be over for all of us. xxx
i only heard of your daugter through the lisa dorrian website. there hasnt been as much knowledge of her over here in northern ireland as far as i know, do you have a campaign going for her if not why dont yous do what me and lisas family and the rest of her friends have been doing open a website where people can make donations to jennys fund and use the money to make posters billboard and advertisments to help keep jenny in the public eye.
i also came across jenny on lisas website i think the person above is right maybe yous have done all of that and we havent hrard over here, we have had loads of support for lisa you cant go anywhere without seeing a billboard of her they even have an ad for her in several cinemas. we have blue ribbons that any shop you go into are selling there is abank account people can make donations to to pay for all of this. stranger have had several fundraisers for her. if you havent already done this i think it would be a very good idea it keeps her in everybodys thoughts and might just get through to somebody that holds the answer to jennys disappearance. all my love to you all
Jenny when we lost you we lost something we could never replace,Im sorry I couldn,t protect you
Your loving big brother Chris
to jennys family i came across jennys name on lisa dorrians website i hope yous get her back very soon. theres not much else i can say except when im praying for lisas return i will also pray for jenny, have you thought about leaving an email address on lisas site so you can get in touch with her family who know what you are going through
Jen,always our daughter,sister,granddaughter,neice,cousin and our friend.
You are so missed.
Mum and Dad,
xxxx
I'm so sorry that Jenny is still missing. My husband said that he wondered if someone may have put her in an open grave which is why it has been so hard to find her. Just a thought. May God be with you and continue to give you strength.
Anon
God bless you Jenny whereever you are x We've all followed this tragic story every step of the way forever hoping that you would just walk back into your house as if you'd never been away and go to your room and play your stereo as loud as usual, but sadly this never happened.. I still hope this may all be some sort cruel nightmare and when we all wake up you'll be there playing a game of pool in the Buck where we used to see you, we'll never give up hope.
Our thoughts are with you and your parents & family always
Lots of love
Sharon, Chrisptopher, Maureen & Chris - your old neighbours from Bolton Avenue xx
to jennys family just to let yous no im thinking of yous and praying for jennys return my friend lisa dorrian has been missing for nearly 2 years and evry time i think about her i think about jenny,praying for her return to yous all my love.xxxxxxxxxx
To the Nicholl Family,
My sister Lisa went missing 616 days ago in much the same tragic circumstances as your Jenny. I would just like to wish you all the support in the world and say how sorry i am that beautiful Jenny has been taken from your loving family. If there is anything we can do to help or support you, please please let us know through Lisa's website. You come across as a very strong family but as we both know, every day without our girls gets harder and harder. All our Love always, the Dorrian Family xx
I know lisa dorrian that was murdered and her body never found. her sister has put a comment on their website for people to visit and leave a message of support for yourselves.
I dont think any family should have to go through what you's are going through, i never new Jenifer and can never imagine what you's are going through as a family. but would like to let you know that i hope you find her safe and well, and that you get her back.
hi so sorry to hear about your daughter Jenny. its terrible what is happening these days. i have followed lisa dorrians case and also that of marty kelly. Although Marty's was different, his family is still without their child. I hope you find your daughter
Sim xx
I went to school in Ricmond in the late seventies and eighties. My family still live in the area and I still visit regularly. I have a school renunion soon and was looking on the web for accomodation and saw the sad news about Jenny.
I have a particular interest as I had a friend of mine go missing 3 years ago in similar circumstances. My thoughts and sympathy are with you and I will think of you and Jenny on her birthday.
Pete
I read this blog daily hoping that somebody will find a conscience and release you from your torment, I pray to God it will be soon.
Thank you to so many who have left messages for Jenny and our family. For those who have asked .Yes, we do have family connections to N. I .Also Jenny was born in Co Antrim in 1985. The messages from the family and Friends of Lisa Dorrian have been uplifting. Again, a young beautiful girl taken from her loved ones. Such a senseless act.Maybe,just maybe the cowards who have taken Lisa and Jenny will own up to what they have done very soon .

LOVE NEVER COMES TO AN END...
IN MY THOUGHTS EVERY SINGLE DAY..
AUNTY MARY.XXX
This month,will be 17 months since we last saw Jenny. An eternity.
As we approach Christmas we think of happier times spent with Jenny. Every year she had a little ritual of rearranging and prodding each gift that was for her and the family trying to guess what was in them. One year she made Father christmas's out of loo rolls and cotton wool.Wrapped them up for everyone. She can only have been about six years old. It's so good we have such precious, happy memories of time spent with her.
mum xx
I have had floods of memories the past few weeks...of Jenny...of our granny...
It may be that Christmas is just around the corner...or planning my wedding guest lists!
I miss them so much...I wish I could buy that one more gift!
I hold them in a very special place in my heart...like my Auntie Ann I am so thankful I have such wonderful memories.
Jenny was fun to shop for...you knew if it was music related she would love it...or if it were a giant stuffed animal from an amusement park here in Utah...
Happy Holidays. Love you Jenny...
--Bronlyn xoxo
I had been on the Lisa Dorrian website, I went to school with Lisa. It is heart breaking to now that the same has happened to another young lady just starting out in her adult. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
hi i have been on lisa dorrian site there as i do everyday hoping and praying for fresh news everyday, and still the family have no ansers, i feel for u as a family also, i couldnt imagine life without my sister as she is my twin. i really hope and pray u get the justice you desrved for jenny, i will be thinking of yous and lisa, its so so sad.
I always find it so difficult to know what to say. A beautiful young woman so cruelly taken from her lovely family. Someone knows something about both Jenny & Lisa. Maybe soon there conscience will trouble them enough to talk.
I feel like I am intruding posting here as this seems for family and friends, I had a weekend break in Richmond this summer and came across this site from the Richmond link back then.
I just wanted to say I will light a candle also for you at what should have been a happy time for you.
XXX
My family's thoughts are with you as you prepare for another christmas without your beautiful daughter. I still can't give up hope that someone will give you some information, or that you will one day find her alive and well. I never knew Jenny on close terms, but I used to see her around town, and she always had a smile and a happy hello. God bless you and our prayers go out to you.
Thinking of you at this time, Anne, Brian and family.
Our best wishes,
Spiers Family
I feel the same as a person has said before and that is that I feel as though I am intruding because this might only be for family and friends. Just to let you know, that I am thinking of your family this Christmas through this horrible drama. I also went out today and bought a candle for my brother and I so we can light on Christmas. All the best for 2007
At Christmas time, little memories go flitting through my mind and in all my thoughts and memories I always seem to find a picture of you Jenny.
Love Irene & John
I read all the coverage on the news about Jenny. I hope & pray with you that some news of Jenny is with you soon. It must be torture for all of you. I have a teenage daughter and I often mention Jenny to her. What a lovely personal reading. I hope and pray someone will come forward and ease a little of your pain. Forever in my thoughts xx
Merry Christmas Jenny where ever you are. Are thoughts and love are with you and your family.

WISHING EVERYONE A PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS, WHO HAVE LEFT MESSAGES ON JEN'S BLOG, OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS

Ann & Brian
Thinking of you both as we reach the second Christmas that Jenny should be celebrating with you. Over the last year I have got to know you both very well and value your friendship. Over the next 24 hours there will be so many candles lit and prayers said for you all. I sincerely hope that you get some answers as the New Year approaches.
Love to you all

Merry Christmas to all those who have left messages for our family and Jenny.
We wish you all,where ever you may be. The seasons greetings.
The Nicholl family.
Jenny,
Was just thinking about the last Christmas we saw you, when we went to the Indian, we had a real good laugh and perhaps a few too many. We will be lighting a candle tonight and will have a drink for you (but not Diesel yuk)

Anne N
merry christmas jen, thinking of you always. we will light the candles today hopefully the light from these will guide us to peace in the new year.
love you always and forever.
Nan, Bid, Sean, Kay, Heather,Jonnie and Frank
Ann,Brian, Chris and James you are always in our thoughts
My thoughts go out to your whole family, I sincerley hope the new year brings some long awaited news for you all.
Melanie Stokes(Nutt)
It really is time that the evil person(s) found a conscience and put an end to yours and their own nightmare so you may all find peace. It's a New Year and time for a new start. God Bless.
I've often seen the photo of Jenifer in the Co-op in Richmond,never really knowing her story.Today, I have read all the comments on this site.
I could not even start to imagine how her family and friends must be feeling and coping.I have two daughters and its unbearable to think of them not being in my world.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Jenifers family and hope for a resolution very soon.
"At at the going down of the sun,we will remember them"
I prayed for Jenny tonight at St Aloysius church in Hebburn and I will continue to pray for both her and all of her family that there will be a conclusion for you all and the person responsible for her demise will be brought to justice. God keep you strong. Each Sunday Jenny's name will be entered into the book of rememberance at mass.
everyday, i see Jenny's photo plastered on every wall in the co-op, and it makes everything seem so real. You hear about stories about people going missing, but you never imagine it to happen from where you're from. The disappearance of Jenny is such a loss, and i can't even bear to imagine how her family is coping. Keep strong, and never give up hope, xxx
I hope the new year brings you the answers you so deserately need. Know that your love and devotion allows her soul to soar!
Brian & Anne I hope this is resolved very soon for you. Iknow I would be devastated if I were in your shoes. My heart and thoughts go out to you and hope the news when it arrives is good news.
To all of Jenny's family and friends, i really hope you get some news soon. We know how desperately hard evey day is without our beautiful girls. It is now over 2 years since Lisa went missing and every day gets longer and longer, harder and harder. The people who did this will eventually be judged. Until that day please keep strong- your love for Jenny will get you through each day and night. Love always, The Dorrian Family xxxx
I first heard about Jenny when I visited richmond in December 2006. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this time. I do strongly believe in the power of mediums as I have seen proof for myself that they do good work and I do really think a good medium could help. If this isn't something you believe in this is ok and I hope I haven't offended you.
Good Luck and God Bless
Laura xxx
To Jen's family, I'm a good friend of Lisa Dorrian, Just a message to let you know people from Northern Ireland are thinking of you.

We are not offended at all.

HI just wanted to say that all of our thoughts are of course still with you Ann & family, still can't believe she hasn't come home yet. It saddens me that we don't hear about any investigations that are still ongoing - there are things still going on aren't there?I think your poster campaign etc has been brilliant and every time I see a new photo of jenny around town it makes me stop and think about her. Here's hoping you hear something soon,
Sharon xx
It is the third christmas without you Jenny but our memories of you are as strong as ever. All our love
John and Irene and Boys.
Praying that 2008 will bring justice for Jenny. Thinking of you all. With love from Elaine, Ian, Kathryn and Fiona Roe
