Jennifer Beach was born in Kansas in 1974, and moved with her family to Redmond, Washington in 1978. She was an honor student and played softball at Redmond High School, and was an active member of her church and involved in community activities. Jennifer died in an auto accident in 1991 at the age of 17. Jennifer had a love and a flare for fashion design and merchandising, but had planned on pursuing a career in law. She hoped to be a voice for those in social situations that needed help from someone who cared. Jennifer would be happy if this poem is able to help others as she did so often when she was here. Her family is publishing this poem to help raise awareness of domestic abuse issues and fund organizations that fight abuse.
