In memory of Jenna Brown Agnello, Owen Nestor lit a candle

I wanted to give my condolences to the family of Jenna. I know these days are extremely tough and even unbearable at times. It is my prayer for you to find comfort in your lasting memories of Jenna. A scripture that I would like to share with the family is 2 Corinthians 1:3,4; may it too bring you comfort. "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God".

Jenna was one of the most corageous people I think I will ever know. The way she lived her life was an inspiration to everyone she touched, especially those who knew her story. Thank you, Jenna, for lighting the way forward for all of us, no matter how short or long the journey.

Jenna sure did know how to drink from the cup of life. Not too many could rise to the challenge & get every last drop out of life. Remarkable person. I am blessed to have known her.

Back in January, I had the great honor of working with Jenna at SLH. I've taken care of many patients during my career, but none who touched my heart like Jenna. From the top of her head to the bottom of her toes, that woman embodied the fighting spirit with such grace and determination. I believe that her family, friends, and beloved animals (shout out to Romeo, Bailey, and Diesel!) truly gave her the love and support she needed. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that you find peace with the support of your friends and family. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Jenna. The day before Jenna was discharged, she gave me a photo of she and I with her horse. That picture has since been framed and sits proudly on my mantle. Although Jenna was here on this earth only for a brief period of time, she has left a remarkable impact on this nurse's heart. Thank you all for letting me be a part of Jenna's journey. My thoughts and prayers are with the Agnello, Brown, and Nestor families at this time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I had the privelage of being part of her care when she was hospitalized most recently and of thousands of patients, she will never be forgotten. Truly an extroardinary woman with a palpable sense of love and understanding not just from her but from her family as well. While I am so sorry for your loss, and the loss that the world has suffered in her passing, I am also thankful for the longer then expected time that she did have with her family. It was the love and comfort from her family and from being home that I believe sustained her. I would like to thank her and you, her family, for letting me be a part of her time while at Sentara Leigh.

Bryan, So sorry to hear of your loss. Praying you find comfort and peace during this time. Tony

May she rest in peace now. One of the sweetest ladies I ever met. Jenna was so strong and fought a good fight. Her and the family will be forever in our thoughts.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
