Suzanne has become active in three organizations that reflect Jennifer's commitments and hopes. She is a volunteer and board member for The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She also works with The Association for Battered Women and for the local humane society. No two people are alike. The Koons' loss is memorialized by a plaque on the campus of St. John Fisher College, Rochester, where Jennifer was a student.
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. David Koon finds comfort from the words of 1 Corinthians 13, which were on a poster in Jennifer's room. And continuing to tell his family's story strengthens Koon to meet each new day. Each time he tells it, he turns tragedy to hope.
