Jennifer Towle Obituary

Jennifer Abrahamson Towle, 49, of Topeka, passed away on Friday, June 22, 2018.

A Celebration of Jennifer's life will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, July 14, 2018 at Countryside United Methodist Church. Private internment will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to The Towle Children College Fund…because education is power, but it's also expensive! Jennifer was a life-long learner and has passed this passion onto her children. Send to: Towle Children College Fund account #7181. Landmark National Bank 6010 SW 6th Ave, Topeka, KS 66615.

Children's Mercy Hospital…because they've been so good to us since Dolci was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2008. Children's Mercy Hospital has done amazing things for families in need. I have always wanted to give back in some way. www.childrensmercy.org/help-our-kids/

National Brain Tumor Society…because people shouldn't be dying from this brain cancer stuff. http://www.cancerresearch.org/giving-to-cri/honor-memorial-giving.

Dove Southeast Chapel, 2843 SE Minnesota Ave. is assisting the family.

Dear Frank and Girls, I am so sorry to read about Jennifer. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing her personally but heard how amazing she handled life. I know this is a bitter sweet time in your lives, because you didn't want her to suffer a day more and you know she has been set free from the human flesh and is healed and whole again! I lost Randy (my husband) a little over a year ago to liver cancer. So I can feel your sadness and lose, and I am holding you all close to my heart at this time. I worked at Scranton as a para when you were there Frank about 13 yrs ago. Always enjoyed your up beat and happy outlook on life!

Of course our hearts all dropped as we read of Jen's graduation. We all want to keep those we love close to our heart. It's with great sadness we say good-bye...if we could just sneak a peek into Heaven with our human eyes...how we would long to join in the fellowship of believers! ENJOY Jennifer...We know you will...

We all look for miracles in our lives to prove that our beliefs can be substantiated. Jennifer lived a miracle every day for 6 1/2 years. Historically, patient with glioblastomas only survived for 6 to 18 months after diagnosis. Jenn beat the odds, While the final outcome was not what we all wished for, Jenn, through her journey, was and is our miracle. Thank you for sharing her travels with us. Onwards and upwards!!!

We have followed Jennifer's courageous battle on Caring Bridge, have prayed for her, and have loved her humor, her insight, and her love for others evident in her faithful entries. We are deeply saddened to learn that she is gone from this life. God has a new angel in heaven. We pray for her entire family during this very difficult time.

My condolences to the family. May our Loving God comfort your hearts at this time of grief. Ps.94:18,19.

Please accept my condolences. Please know that the God of comfort feels your pain and sorrow. He actually provides something better to look forward to. Jeremiah 29:11 specifically tells us God wants to give us a peaceful "future and hope." He promises in the near future all the pain and sorrow you are experiencing about your loss will be gone and we will be able to enjoy perfect life with all our loved ones.
