It is with great sadness that I write about my friend, Jejen.jpgn Bunich, who passed away yesterday morning with a sudden illness. I did not know Jen as well as some of my other ’supper club’ friends but her death has been devastating to say the least.

Not only was she a talented woman, she was unbelieveably kind, she was funny, giving and beautiful inside and out. She leaves behind a 2 year old daughter, Claire, and a husband, Boris. She will be missed dearly. Her most recent passion was a blog site she started with her best friend, also named Jen called “Charlotte Smarty Pants”. It specializes in being a Mom in the Charlotte metropolitian area. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. My life will forever be changed by Jen.

Local Story of Jen in the Charlotte Observer – 2/24/08

Our friend, Keely, had a bachelorette party in Charleston, SC in October 2007. Jen was amazing – she planned the whole “big” night out and had all the props and party stuff ready to go. I thought “I” was organized – she was unreal.  Yep, I was jealous of her planning skills. Here are some pictures from the weekend. http://listmaker.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/bachelorette-weekend/ 

So many Charlotte Smarty Pants readers have asked if they can contribute to Jen’s 2 1/2 year old daughter, Claire. Any contributions can be made to:
