Jenevieve Brewer passed away suddenly on October 14, 2021…... “Since you came into my life in 2003, you have been my strongest advocate in the business, pushing me to do things I didn’t imagine I could do. Even with my podcast, absolutely without a question coming on. I’m so sorry you were not able to see the end result, after all your encouragement to write it, throughout the years, but I am so very happy to have our story in it. I can still hear your voice and chuckle. I miss your “Hi Oz” greeting on the phone, your “xoxo” and your “I love you” with the heart emojis, at the end of your emails. Your light will never be dimmed in my heart, JEN!” I LOVE YOU!
