Lakewood Girl's Mom Passes Away in Her Sleep, Please Consider Helping
Funeral services for Jennifer Verrillo are planned for Saturday and a GoFundMe page has been set up for her daughter.

LAKEWOOD, OH — Jennifer Verrillo, 44, passed away in her sleep last Friday morning leaving behind her 10-year old daughter and Lakewood student, Jillian.
Jennifer's obituary reads:
"We could be sad and sappy, but we all know that's not what Jen would have wanted. The Indians, The Browns, The Cavs, the NFL no purse rule, the self-proclaimed cat lady, and how she chronicled her dating site shenanigans. Who could forget her late night karaoke singing sessions accompanied by impeccable choreography and back-up vocals? Then, there was the waterless pool party. Most of all, she was a wonderful mother to her "little nugget" Jillian. That was JenniferVerrillo! We know her for her quick wit, humor, and anecdotes. We know her for being a story teller and the life of any room. One thing is for sure, the world just lost a wonderful person."
Anyone who knew Jen knew that her life revolved around her daughter, Jillian. Now Jillian is left without a mother. Her sister has set up a GoFundMe page for Jillian, please consider giving to help her out.

"My sister, Jennifer Verrillo passed away suddenly in her sleep this morning (9/23/16). Anyone who knew Jen, would have known that the most important thing in her life was her 10 year old daughter, Jillian (and of course, Cleveland sports). Now Jillian is left without a mother. I have created this page for any friends & family who would like to donate to help with Jillian (a college fund or whatever she needs). Instead of flowers, Jen would have wanted her daughter to be taken care of. Please help out in any way you can.
Help spread the word!"
