Mike, children and grandchildren of Jena,
We are so sorry of your loss.
Jena, lived a very short and not easy life. But she was a happy, beautiful woman.
She was blessed to born in the family of The Best parents – Richard and Lois, she grew up as an amazing beautiful young woman, she married a remarkable man – who became a great father of their children and they were able together to watch their grandchildren growing. Mike was not just a husband, he became a strong reliable friend through all their life together.
Jena will be missed. And in our memory she will always remain a charming, beutiful woman with great smile and beautiful kind eyes.
I worked with Jenna at Women and Infants Hospital many years ago. I so admired her always put together with her beautiful hair and makeup. She was so upbeat and happy and always spoke about her cherished husband and 2 boys. May she rest in peace.
My Condolences Mike.
I worked with Jena at Women & Infants Hospital so long ago and found her to be a special friend i was saddened when she left the hospital and I remember how she use to say she was made to sleep until her body told her to wake up in the morning and her role in life was to “stay home & bake cookies”… Rest easy my friend..

Mike so sorry for your loss my condolences to you and your family. May her memory be eternal.
It’s impossible to put into words what Jena meant to me. For eight years, I had the honor of being her caregiver but she became so much more than that. Jena was my heart’s family. We shared our days, our routines, our laughter, and even our quiet silences. I spent more time with her than with many of my own friends. She became woven into the fabric of my everyday life and into my soul.
Jena had a way of touching people without even trying. My entire family came to know and love her. She wasn’t just someone I cared for, she was someone we all cared about deeply. Her presence lit up the room, and her spirit had a softness and strength that made everyone around her feel safe, seen, and loved.
One of my favorite things was watching her light up whenever Michael Bublé’s voice filled the room. His music was her comfort and her joy. I’ll never hear his songs the same way again. When “You make me feel so young” played, it was like the world stood still for a moment, and her smile could brighten the darkest day. It’s those moments the music, the laughter, the shared peace that I will hold closest.
She left her mark on the world in her own beautiful way—through grace, resilience, warmth, and the kind of quiet courage that only those who truly pay attention ever get to witness. And most of all, she left her mark on me.
Saying goodbye feels impossible. I will miss her every single day. But I will carry her memory in everything I do in the way I show up for others, in the way I cherish small moments, and in the way I love people fully, just as she did.
Thank you, Jena, for letting me walk alongside you. You changed my life in ways I’ll never stop being grateful for. You are forever in my heart.
“And I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven…” now with every note of Bublé’s songs, I’ll feel you near.
Rest gently, sweet soul. I’ll love you always.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jena. I am the aunt of Jacquelines husband, Mike Loffredo. Your family has suffered so much loss in such a short period of time. May Jena join her parents in eternal rest. May they rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them all.
I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother and friend. I will miss our antics but have many many years of memories to recall and laugh about, cry about. Jena was the Mama bear of all Mama bears with Michael and Jon, taking on any school principal in her way! I have so many memories as my daughter, Erika mentioned above, parties and shenanigans on Cedar Lane, cookouts and formal dinners. Jena was a talented cook and decorator. She also made the very best chocolate chip, walnut cookies and always kept them and delivered them in a huge clear cookie jar. Jena was one of a kind and one of my best friends. I am so fortunate to have loved her for all of these years. I will miss her immensely.
My heart goes out to her family. I had the pleasure of meeting Jena through my mom Fatoumata. She was so kind and the funniest. I used to enjoy hearing her childhood stories and funny jokes. She is missed dearly. Prayers to the family.
Sorry for yours and your families loss
You two have spent practically your entire lives together. Grew together, endured so much together.
If there is anything I can do to help. Don’t hesitate. I’m always there for you brother
McNulty Family,
My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. Jena and you all were such a big part of my childhood on Cedar Lane. I remember walking to your house for Hurricane Parties, swimming and almost drowning Nicole in your pool, trick or treating and Jena’s big personality, smile and laugh- and her toenails always painted red!
She loved my mom like a sister, I enjoy hearing all my moms stories and I know they were truly best friends. I hope one day, my daughters have friendships like Diane and Jena had. I’m glad we got to FaceTime with her before she passed and show her my favorite hand signal for Diane (haha!) There was no one else like Jena, her memory will live on through those who knew her and loved her.
My deepest condolence to Mike and family, my sister Fatima was working with Jena for eight years. Jena was a beautiful soul she will be missed a lot. I’m gonna missed her voice , Fatima really gonna miss her dearly . Sleep well beautiful Jena till we meet again
