Jennifer Bukosky Obituary

Family of Jennifer Bukosky and Children,
I'm sending you my condolences to let you know I'm sorry for your loss. When I watched the news, I find it to be so heartbreaking I prayed for the LORD to give you strength and comfort. Let not your hearts be troubled.

I didn't know you family, but my heart is sad to hear that three beautiful people are taken away so soon. please ask god for strength. I do everyday, since I lost my sister 5 years ago. your family is in my prayers.

Dear Michael and Family of Jennifer, Courtney and Sophie:
I knew Jennifer through OHS she helped my son through a rough time when he was a new student this year. She touched me just in how she truely cared for him by calling me at home to see how he was doing and to reassure me that he was a wonderful young man and she felt connected to him because she had a son almost his age. I pray for Zach to find peace eventually and to know that his mother will watch over him always. I recently lost my father to a horrible accident and everyday I miss him but I know that he is up in heaven looking down and he will always be in my heart as will Jennifer and those 2 beautiful little angels.

What a tragedy....these life's were taken too soon. They are resting in a better place looking down on us all. Zachary, I pray for you daily. Be strong. My prayers to the entire family.

Unfortunatly, I didn't know Jennifer but I do know her husband Mike. We actually went to waukesha North High school together. To everyone in your family my heart goes out to you. what a horrible event to happen to anyone.

God has taken your family and brought them in the wings of His present. I am sorry for the loss that you've had. I don't know your family but feel a saddness in knowing that you've lost so much in such a short time. I know that all three of them will watch over you and help you through. God will bless you!

We do not know your family but can't forget that tragic accident that left you without your loved ones. Reading about it in the Milw. Journal today brought it to mind again and we just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you along with all the others in this guest book and even those who didn't write but are thinking and praying for your family. Turn to the Lord to help you cope with the difficult days ahead. The Lord will give you strength to get thru this awful time. You will never forget those dear people and you have the memories of good times with them that will give you comfort. Peace be with all of you. God Bless!

I am so sorry for the loss of your wife and children, I can't imagine the pain that your family must be going through. Both my nieces attend OHS and have a lot of nice things to say about Jennifer. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY, BUT LIKE MANY OTHERS FELT THE NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING. NOTHING I CAN THINK OF CAN BEGIN TO COMFORT THOSE JENIFER, COURTNEY AND SOPHIA LEFT BEHIND. BUT THREE ANGELS ARE HOPING THAT WE UNDERSTAND AND GET PAST THE ANGER AND START TO HEAL. I DONT KNOW BUT I WOULD GUESS THAT IS WHAT JENIFER WOULD TELL HER KIDS AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME TO DO. TO JENIFERS HUSBAND MICHAEL , MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO YOU. YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BUT KNOW THAT YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE STEP DAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER WILL REMAIN FOREVER IN YOUR HEARTS. GOD BLESS

My heart goes out to this entire family. My mother in law brought this story to my attention when it happened as it reminded her so much of our family. We are a divorced blended family with kids the exact same age and also just added a new baby. It was almost as if only the names had changed. It brought so much sorrow to my soul and caused my heart to ache. My sadness was deepend upon the recent realization that I know this family. Judy Jenkins, a loving, caring adolescent therapist has been helping us with our son for a couple of years. This is a woman that gives her all everyday to families that are in need of support. Now, she has lost her daughter and grandchildren. Please add her in your thoughts and prayers as I have done. I hope she can receive as much support as she has dedicated her life to giving. Judy, know that we are thinking of you and praying for all with our deepest heartflet sympathy.

Michael and Family - The loss of your three angels in such a senseless act is such a tragedy. I will continue to pray for you as you mourn the loss of 3 such wonderful people. Know that there are many people who are here to support you and who think and pray for you each chance they get. I pray that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and be the amazing support that you need in this difficult time.

If someone says "Jenny Farney" to me, I instantly think of her smile. She was such a nice, friendly, sincere person in high school and I always liked her so much. The loss seems unbearable, and I'll send prayers for Sean, Tori and the whole family. God be with you.

My wife is a fellow Oconomowoc teacher. She knew Jennifer professionally and we got to know Jennifer somewhat on a personal level 2 years ago. When we heard this tragic news we felt deep sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that is feeling the pain and sorrow over the loss of Jennifer and her children. May time help heal the pain of lives ended too short. God's peace and love.

As many who have already written, I do not know your families but feel compelled to at least express my deepest sympathy. You all have experienced what no one should ever have to. I am a mother of three and my youngest is 12 just like Zachary and so my heart just breaks for all of you but especially for him. He has experienced much more tragedy than any 12-year old should have. I just can't stop thinking about him. I'm sure his heart is breaking. Wish I could say or do something to make his pain go away. Just know that so many people you don't even know are thinking of you. You are in our constant thoughts and prayers.

I have never signed a guest book of someone I didn't know, but I feel compelled to write. I am deeply sorry for your losses. No one should have to endure such tragedy. Look to God and your family for support and may God bless you and your family.

We did not know your family but are hurting for you and your losses. Please know that there is a community of support and love for all of you. Embrace and cheerish your memories of those lost and know that they are watching over all of you. May it be comforting to know that Jennifer is with Courtney and Sophia and always will be. God Bless You.

My very deepest sympathies and prayers are with the families at this tragic time. To Jennifer's husband, surviving sons, and parents, may you always have your loved ones in your hearts. Be strong and know you are prayed for.

To the parents of Jennifer and Courtney...My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I lost my pregnant adult daughter a little over a year ago to a vehicle accdent. Her loss was devastating to me. I still mourn and miss her. The pain of losing a child is something no one will ever know until they experience it. Know you are not alone, there are many mothers and fathers who are grieving with you. We are not supposed to outlive out children or grandchildren. Gut God has other plans than those we make. Know all your babies are in his arms and watching down on you. The pain of loss does get easier with time. It's been 15 months for me and I am finally starting to get back to normal. Keep their memories in your heart and talk about them often. It's what they would want you to do. I know what you are feeling. My deepest sympathies.

As so many have already written, I didn't know, Jennifer or Courtney. I cannot begin to tell you all how very sorry I am of your loss. My God bless all of you and the souls of your lost loved ones. I will pray for all of you.
Mr. Bukosky, you spoke on the news in a way that positively affects us. We all struggle with loss and forgiveness. Thank you so much for trying your best and creating a positive rememberance fund for others. You are an inspiration. Please try to take care of yourself.
Once again, I am so sorry.
May He bless you and yours always, Christen Pruscha Le Moine

I like others would like you know that I feel for you and your family. I can't begin to image what you are feeling. I know God is taking care of them. I will keep you in my prayers. stay strong.

Like so many others I never met Jennifer but feel complled to write. Your loss is more than anyone should have to bear. May you find the strength, love and hope you need now and in the future.

I am deeply saddened over this very senseless tragedy. I do not know this family but also felt compelled to express my sincere sympathy to the survivors.....God Bless You All..

I don't know your family, but I wanted to express my deep sympathy for what has happened. This has been on my mind since I first heard about it and I am very sad that it did. Surely there is a heaven and the three of them are together.

My thoughts and prayers are with both the Bukosky and Bella families. May God give you the strenght and faith you will need to cope with your terrible loss.. My prayers for Jennifer, Courtney and Sophia.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you All.

Jen was a wonderful, thoughtful person, and Courtney was a beautiful girl. We are saddened by this loss. Both the Bella and the Bukosky families will be in our thoughts & prayers.

Even though I do not know your family, I just wanted to express my condolences to you during this difficult time. I am very saddened by what has happened and have been thinking of your family ever since. My prayers go out to you. God bless.

It is so hard to express my feelings regarding this tragedy and huge loss to so many people. Jenn was a vivacious person and it is evident that she touched many lives in her short life. I pray that God will give the family all that they will need in the days to come and in the future to help with your pain and loss. God Bless Jennifer, Courtney and Sophia.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jenny in high school. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. This accident was senseless and tragic. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Jennifer and her daughters, Courtney and Sophia. You, your entire family and community will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Listening to my daughter and all her friends who go to OHS I understand Jennifer was an amazing woman who made a huge impact on these kids. It takes a very special person to accomplish this. I only met Jen briefly at conferences last year, and you are right, her smile brightened up a room. My deepest sympothy is with both the Bella and Bukosky families at this very difficult time.

I do not know the family but I pass the scene of the accident every time I go to work. I say the Lord's prayer everytime for the victims and their family. Rest assured that Jennifer and her 2 daughters are together and that they are with their loved ones everyday in spirit.
May God give you strenth and peace and know that your family is in my
prayers.

We know your pain and grief, our son was taken away from us at the age of 17, 8 days away from his 18th birthday. Through murder in 2004, May you hold on to your faith and family and close friends to help you though this rough time. Our son was a part of a double homicide.

Even though, I do not know your family. I just wanted to send my condolences and let you know that my heart goes out to you and your family during this tragic time. Keep your faith in God and he will help you heal in time.

Jenny always had a smile for everyone and brought sunshine to all who knew her. I am deeply sad for all the family. My deepest condolences to you all and may you find strength during this tough time.

My sincere and deepest sympathy to Jennifer's family and friends. Even though I do not know the family I feel compelled to write because our family faced a similar tragedy because of a repeat drunk driver. Unfortunately there are no words that I can say to make you hurt any less. The only thing that helped our family survive the tragedy was the outpouring of love and support from family and friends as well as the ongoing support from MADD. Father John at St. Jerome's was a tremendous comfort to the family as well. I'm so sorry that your family is going through this. Embracing your faith, at a time like this, is essential. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I was devasted to learn of this senseless tragedy. I too knew Jen, Courtney and Zach in Madison. Zach and my son Alex were at preschool together. That led to an ecletic play group of diverse women and children that often met at Tina Biggs' house. I will remember those play group days fondly, especially when the kids were all downstairs and we would eat, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Like many I will remember Jen's smile and her dedication to her children. She was an incredible mother. Courtney reminded me so much of my daughter at that age. Courtney knew what she wanted and where she was going, a beautiful girl. Godspeed Jen. Courtney and Sophia.

I have never wrote in a guest book of someone that I do not know but I feel like this is something I have to do. This is such a sad story and should have not happened. I can't even imagine what your family is going through. Everyone should learn from this how life is so precious and no one should ever take if for granted. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To the Bukosky Family -
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. With deepest sympathy from us and the entire community, our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Jen was one of the first people we met when when moved here 4 years ago. She always waved and had a smile when we saw her. In 2 short years she made a huge impact on the students of Oconomowoc High School. Thanks Jen.

Michael,
Although I do not know your family, my heart aches for the pain you are going through. I wish you and your family the best and God will guide you through this extremely difficult time.

i was so sorry to hear of jennifer and her daughters' passing. i remember her as jenny farney from our days in jr. high and high school in glen ellyn, il. she was a special person back then and, in reading about her life since, obviously went on to much greatness as a mother, teacher and school administrator. the story of her passing, and that of her daughters', is amazingly sad and shocking. my deepest sympathies are with the family for the loss of lives much much too short. i'm sure everyone who knew her will agree that the world is a better place because jenny lived.

Though I did not know this family, we have all come to know them over the past several days. My heart goes out to them in this time of sorrow. May they know now that there are three guardian angels watching over them and helping them cope with this tremendous loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all!

I do not know your family, but I wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. My family lost a beautiful, wonderful young man two years ago this month in a senseless, needless car crash, and I remember well the emotions we felt, and so I've been thinking a lot about you and your family since Friday. Please take care of yourselves and know that so many people in the community are thinking of you and wishing you peace.

May the light brought by of all the happy memories the families and friends have of Heaven's Newest Angels comfort them through this horrible time.

Like others that have written, I did not know the family personally, but I have shed many tears over your tremendous loss. My son attends OHS and tells me what a nice and wonderful lady Jennifer was. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bukosky and Bella families. May god bless you.

As many, I heard of this horrific accident taking the lives of 3 innocent people, your family. I am deeply saddened and get choked up everytime I think of the accident. Please know that my prayers go out to you all during what I believe to be the lowest time in ones life, the death of a child, mother, friend, wife, loved one. May God give you all the strength you need to get through this one day, one hour at a time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

I did not know your family, but I, like many others here, feel compelled to write. This heartbreaking story is all I can think about and I can't even begin to imagine how you all feel. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jennifer seemed like an amazing woman who was loved by so many people. She definitely helped to make this world a better place. Remember the good times and know that Jennifer, Courtney and Sophia are now watching over all of you.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Jenny since grade school and was so happy to have been able to see her at our 20 year high school reunion. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have known her. She was voted the "Friendliest" girl in our class our senior year in high school and I will always remember her smile and genuine kindness towards everyone
she met. God bless her and her daughters and all of her family and friends.

Sharing your sorrow in the loss of three so dear, and sending deepest sympathy. Even though I do not know the family --- only through the daily news --- I just want you to know many people have you in their thoughts and prayers.

To All of Jennifer and Courtneys family: I am so sorry for your loss. I never met them, but wanted to offer you my sincere condolences on your loss. This is so sad, tragic and senseless and this should never have happened. Please know that God will take them lovingly into his arms. May God Bless all of you.

I as well do not know any of you , but my deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family... I came upon the scene about an hour after it happened.. I cant even begin to explain the way I felt.. This is such a tragedy and honestly all I have thought about the past few days.. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

This is so unfair what has happened to you, and your children. I can't even begin to think what your family must be going though. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Our hearts ache for your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tragedy also touched our family in 2004 with the murder of our daughter. May you draw strength from the many people who grieve with you.

I'm a coworker of Sean and I wanted to send my condolences to your family. Your family will be in my prayers.

I am saddened and angered by this tragic accident. I do not know this family, but wanted to offer my condolences.

We had the honor and privilege of knowing the Bella family while they lived in Madison. My daughter, Taylor, went to Playcare with Zach. Jen and I became fast friends through our kids. Jen, Zach, Taylor, Courtney and I used to have really fun playdates at the park and at our respective houses. Unfortunately we lost touch in the last few years. We are all deeply saddened by this horrific loss. May you rest in peace.

Abby and Andy Alexander (Taylor, Jake and Sophia)

I don't know your family, but wanted you to know that you are in the prayers of so many. I pray that you all find peace and comfort in a time that is so painful.

On behalf of the pastors, teachers, staff, and Josh's 7th grade class at Divine Redeemer, we want you to know that you are and will continue to be in our prayers. It is our ongoing prayer that our Lord Jesus bring you the comfort and peace that only He can give.

Even though I didn't know Jennifer or Courtney, I feel compelled to write this. You see, I am a mother of 4 children under the age of 12 and about Jennifer's age. I also live within the area. When I hear and see everyone talk about them, it brings great sadness and tears to my eyes. I have cried many days for all of the victims, including the little girl that lays helpless in the hospital and the little boy that lost his family. I want you each to know that God is on your side. He will help you through this difficult time. You may not see it now, but He's there. I will continue to pray for each of you, especially when I pass the site. God bless and take care of each other.

She will take her baby in her arms & her daughter by the hand, and watch over all of us. I believe in angles, and now we have 3 more that just got thier wings.

Please know my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you and your family. I did not have the chance to meet Courtney, but knew Jennifer from my school years. She was a kind and caring person whose smile was infectious.

My deepest sympathies as per my discussion with Steve. Liturgy will be celebrated Wednesday for all three.

There are no words to tell you how heartbroken I am for your family. May God bless you today and always.

I am so sorry to hear about this truly tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and her students. As well as Jennifer, Courtney and Sophia. Even though I have never gotten the chance to meet Jennifer who sounds like an amazing person I still can't help but feel like I have lost someone close to me. You see I graduated from Oconomowoc High School back in 2001.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is deeply saddened and I don't even know your family. Just try to keep in mind there is a reason for everything. Even though we don't know the reason. God has plans for all of us. I will keep your family in prayer.

We do not know any you but heard about this horrific accident from the media. Our hearts are breaking for all of you . This is a senseless tragedy. Our deepfelt thoughts are with you.

We were shocked to hear about Jen and Courtney. We met Jen and Brad in Madison when our kids, Zach and Hannah Langworthy attended Huegel Elementary school together. Jen and Courtney were great people. And they will be missed. Jen was such a great and patient parent. And Courtney cracked me up. Hannah remembers the last time we visited them in Oconomowoc, her and Courtney were chasing Zach trying to put lipstick on him.

We are so sorry to hear about this and we will keep all of you in our prayers.
