Memorial Fund

Many of you have asked how you can help support the children & their future.

To care for Jenny’s 3 children and future college fund, an account has been setup for direct donations.


You may go to any Frost Bank and ask to donate to the

“Jen Fuentes Memorial Fund”.

Checks can be made out to that name.

Your continued support is so wonderful and appreciated.

Walk of Life Tonight Oct. 28th

The walk for life will be today at 7pm right before they take Jenny to surgery at 8pm.
Family would like everyone here by 6:30pm for prayer and to say our goodbyes. At 7pm they will start to get her ready for the walk. Surgery will take about 3 hours.
Should the time change, we will adjust this post here because they are giving us a three hour notice.

If you would like to be a part of this parade, you will go to:

University Hospital 4502 Medical Drive, San Antonio, Tx 78229

Park across the way from the building in West Garage paid parking next to this Horizon Tower building. 

Go to the C elevators.

11th floor waiting room.

Thank you for meals

The family appreciates the meals brought for the family & kids.

Their refrigerator is overflowing, so please refrain from Friday’s dinner meals on the 28th.

Thank you for all of the condolences and kind words to Dave & Linda & the children.

Hero’s parade moved to Friday 10/28

One of the recipients is in Chicago and coordinating is taking a bit longer.
So, we were waiting at University Hospital’s waiting room until they have Jenny’s hero’s parade walk. A nurse came in at 5:30pm letting us know there is a delay with a recipient coming to San Antonio.

The walk is likely in the afternoon or evening Friday.

ALL recipients are traveling here to San Antonio, so coordinating is a big process for the teams of doctors.

I’ll post again soon.

Thank you for all your prayers & help.

Be part of Hero’s Parade

There WILL be a hero’s parade in the hallway before Jenny goes into surgery. Nurses, family & friends line up in the hallway where Jennifer will be wheeled into surgery to clap for her being an organ donor.

Friends and family can be a part of this scheduled for 10/27 (Thursday) at 8pm. Arrive early.

How the Kids are Doing

As the 3 children begin to accept what has happened, the tears, worry and concerns are part of their recent days.

Each of them are processing their grief. Aurelius is 3 years old and they are going to have a meeting with a counselor to explain to him in the best way he can understand. They do not want him to be traumatized more by telling him she is sleeping or use terms that might make him anxious about anyone he loves around him.

They know it will take a lot of explaining and time.

Ryan is with Peter & his grandma. Jaida is in her dorm. Each taking a break from school of course.

They ask for prayers for Jaida, Ryan and Aurelius and those close to the family to remain supportive in each of their lives milestones, and care going forward.

Organ Donation

Today, the family awaits word from the doctors that are preparing Jennifer for organ donation. One surgery will take place when her team of doctors for recipients have coordinated. She is a true hero.

There might be a hero’s parade in the hallway before she goes into surgery. If that is something that is happening that friends and family can be a part of, we will let you know here.

If you would like to be a part of this parade, you will go to:

University Hospital 4502 Medical Drive, San Antonio, Tx 78229

From Jennifer’s Family

The news is shocking and devastating as you can imagine. Our family is very appreciative of all who have reached out so far to offer their prayers, condolences and assistance during last few days.

Daily updates will continue to be posted here so you can know how David, Linda and the children are doing.

Please lessen calls directly to them, as they have so much coordinating and grieving they are doing & processing.

You may contact Yvonne at 210-379-4745 with questions and she can find out for you if she doesn’t know.

Thank you all for your support, as we all will continue to need your support and prayers.
