Jennifer Cassidy Lowndes
12.01.70-18.12.12
Jen lived with cancer for 12 years. She accepted it from the start, and smiled throughout her treatment, always positive just the way she lived her life. Her famous reply, where we were concerned – even as she was dying, was, ‘I’m fine, don’t worry.’
Throughout her life she made so many good and long-standing friends; she loved them all many of whom remained from her early primary school days in St Machan’s.
Jennifer loved to socialise, to party, to travel and above to look glamorous. Jen's most important love was her family. Always unfailing in her duty to her parents, even up until a few days before she died, accompanying them on hospital visits, shopping and all the little tasks that someone so ill would have handed over to other family members. The bond between Jen and her mother was so great and their love will never die.
When we her family think of the words to describe her: she was always loyal, kind, thoughtful, smiling, fun and clever. But above all, courageous and brave. All of these made up Jen’s beautiful nature.
Jen taught us how to how to live; ‘smile and get on with it’ was always her attitude. And she taught us how to die: calm, dignified, no questions, acceptance, and finally peace.
We thank God for giving her to our family and we feel privileged to have had her in our lives; her love always shining through.
