I am sorry that I was unable to attend the services for Jennifer. She has been on my mind for the past week. I will miss her. She was more than just a colleague, she was a team member and friend. Dave and kids, I will be praying for you all in the days and weeks ahead that God will give an abundance of grace, mercy, and compassion to you and your family.

My deepest condolences go out to the family of Jennifer. I met Jennifer in the the 2nd grade when I transferred to Parkview Elementary Jennifer welcomed me in and we became quick friends. Jennifer along with Kelly Reed, Dawn Sheik, and Tracy Perkins were so kind to the new girl. We remained good friends all through middle school and even carpooled together to Granite City High. She was always smart. so smart she was the kind of friend and classmate that challenged us all to do better. I remember when the song Jenny 867-5309 came out how we changed it to Jenny 931-5620 and sang it to her and I never forgot her phone number because of that song. I'm so glad to have known her and hate that she is gone from us way too soon. My heart breaks for her family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was saddened to hear this tragic news. Jennifer and I were classmates together and worked at our first jobs together at Pizza Hut in GC. Somewhere there's a Pizza Hut commercial that we did together - circa 1986. Your wife, mother, sister, and daughter was always a kind, helpful, and intelligent person to talk with in class and at work. She obviously had a successful family life and career. I am so sorry for your loss, and will keep Jennifer and your family in my thoughts.

Jennifer was a wonderful friend and scientist. For the last several years we have worked very close together. She taught me so much about cellulose chemistry as well as gardening and raising tomatoe plants. She once gifted me some special tomatoes seeds her family raises. They are the most flavorful Romas Ive tasted.
Jennifer was also courageous and strong willed. She voiced her opinions exceptionally and always looked out for her people. She was good at addressing the elephant in the room or any sensitive topic in a very comfortable manner.
She left behind 2 children and a husband. She was a wonderful Mom and wife. She was very active with her family and community. She was a wonderful host and knew how to have clean and pure fun. She legitimately enjoyed her life.
My heart aches for them. I pray God gives them comfort.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Skotty and Ridlen families. I am deeply saddened at the loss of such a kindhearted, generous and wonderful colleague and friend. Both professionally and personally Jennifer went above and beyond to help. She visited me during my maternity leave and brought lunch to give me a much-needed break. She checked in both during and after my maternity leave and shared stories about her children. I remember her beautiful smile but most of all her zest for life. Jennifer touched so many lives with her kindness. I’m grateful that I had a chance to get to know her both as a colleague and friend.

I cannot express the depth of my sorrow and dismay over hearing about the untimely passing of Jennifer. While we all go our separate ways as life progresses, one never forgets home and the people with whom they grew up. I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for you all.
To the Skotty Family,
I grew up with "The Ridlen Girls" going to school with Jennifer's older sister, Julie, from kindergarten through high school. Super people, all three of them and Jennifer will be missed. I am so very sorry for your loss and will pray for you all as well.

Dearest members of the Family of Jennifer Ridlen Skotty,
My deepest and heartfelt condolences for the loss of your wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up down the street from Jennifer in Granite City. We attended the same elementary, middle and high school’s together. At Parkview Elementary, we were especially close and had a tight group of friends and teachers. It was a special time. Because Jennifer and I were just a block away, we’d walk home from school together, ride bikes to each other’s houses, sleepovers, birthdays, etc. There are some photos out there from the 70s that should probably never been shown, but looking back at them now brings a smile to my face.
Although we lost touch after high school, I have never forgotten my first real friends, and Jennifer was one of the best! Forever Rest In Peace, Jennifer
I pray for love, peace and understanding for your family at this difficult time.
