Jennifer and I always loved going to the San Marcos Cafe for breakfast. She loved all of the birds outside and was actually scared of the roosters and some of the turkey's. However , she loved the peacocks. So we got peacocks! Now we still have Blue and he needs a wife. . She loved to go out to eat  breakfast , but she hated eggs. Anyone who knew her knew she loved watching you eat your eggs, which was really strange!Her  favorite was the feed store burrito with no eggs and of course the cinnamon rolls.  Well , it got really cold and I only had a sweater when we were in Madrid. We went to the shops on the boardwalk first and I bought a fur (mutton ) coat where Studio 14 is now. It was worn and ripped and warm! Jennifer and I proceeded across the street and her artistic nature made her take a picture of the old house. You know the one!  Well , I have been informed that the owner of the house would not have cared by many people. Well, someone came ripping around the road screaming at her about how bad  she was being, (taking this photo where actually people still live) Jennifer was a drama queen , so she of course told me she  needed  a crystal to make the bad karma go away. She had been hinting all morning that she wanted a crystal and of course this was the icing on the cake for her. I would give in. Crystal Dragon was still  in their old location and we went in and she looked at all the beautiful crystals. She got a  tourmaline that is as green as her eyes were. I will never forget that day as all of the other days . Peace and hearts to Jenn she would love what I am doing today! 

I didn't know Jen long. I met her in the summer of 2012 at Rancho Camp. We clicked straight away. her humour, creativity and kindness stood out. She was a welcoming, funny person. Myself, jen and the other girls at camp spent an amazing summer creating great memories of laughter and sunsets. Whenever I was down or missed my family Jen was the first person to be there with words of kindness, reasurance and jokes to cheer me up.

I genuinley have never met anyone like Jen. Hilarious without meaning to be and sometimes I wasn't even sure wether she knew how funny she was. She made America feel like home away from home during that summer. My favourite memories include; driving along, sun shining, blaring out that 'heres my number so call me maybe' and rihanna- where have you been as they were the two songs constantly on the radio. Getting lost on our way back to camp and driving through the mountains pitch black, annoyed and tired and then 'the big bad wolf' came on her CD and we just laughed so much at the predicament of searching for our camp lost in the pitch black with bloody wolf howls blasting out the speakers! Everytime we had to do a crappy job at camp but Jen somehow managing to make it fun and enjoyable by dressing in a ridiculous outfit or cracking a ridiculous joke. 

I had a week or so spare after I finished camp before flying home to England and Jen and her parents welcomed me into their home. I am grateful for the kindness they showed and loved the oppurtunity to get to know Jen's parents and friends. You could tell in every person I met, that Jen was loved and popular. 

The last time I saw Jen was when she dropped me off at the airport. We were driving there and I decided last minute i just had to get a holister coat I'd seen the day before, but I thought i might miss my plane. Jen, in her usual care-free fun way said no way! put her foot down and hop tailed it to holister with us running into the store to get the coat.

We then made it to the airport with about 5 mins spare to check in. It was a typical sunny and hot day. she helped me unload my suitcases and hugged me. We'd spoke loads about her coming to england again to visit and she said she would see me again soon when she came over. One last hug in the sunshine and she hopped back in the car smiled, waved and drove away. Thats the last thing I remember her happy, tanned relaxed face - excited for uni, happy after an unfortgettable summer making new friends and memories - smiling and waving driving off into the sunshine :)

 We came so close, about a week I think till she was due in England. Tickets booked, money exchanged, ready to come and catch up and giggle all over again. I will always wish she'd managed to make the trip and I could have seen her again.

Jen was brilliant, goofy, hilarious, sarcastic, creative and unforgettable. Though I only knew her for a short time she had a profound impact on my life and I will continue to be inspried by her. I am grateful to Jen, her family and friends for being so kind and welcoming me into their home. I am sad at the monumental loss you have experienced. I will always remember Jen, the amazing summer of 2012 and that life is short and beautiful.

 Remembering a UNM Student Who Never Wasted a Moment

Loss of a precious life at an early age affects us all. Last week sophomore Jennifer Bobrick’s time ended far too soon. As a parent of two, such a tragic event is something that I always have a great deal of trouble comprehending and my sincerest condolences go out to her family and friends. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer, I understand that she sought to combine her passions for psychology and art in order to make a difference in the lives of children through the healing power of art. In memory of Jennifer and what she hoped to accomplish, I would like to offer the words of the artist Pablo Picasso: “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” Please take a moment in your day to appreciate the power of a creative moment.
