Jen was a lovely person. She came across as extremely smart and very well versed in her many trip reports. I laughed with her when she shared her humorous Grandpa Mohawk stories. I cried with her when he passed ( as well as her last visit to the Osborne Christmas display). Jen wrote honestly and from the heart in every report. Grandpa Mohawk and Jen together again in a whole new Magic Kingdom.

I haven’t been around for awhile. And come back. I remember her trip reports through the years going back to MO. TR’s are my fav’s. Even when I don’t comment. This is so sad. Agree with tomandrobin . Her disabilities never stopped her. Made Her travels more difficult but she embraced life. This is very shocking.to hear/read. She also loved her Delmarva coast, as do I . God speed, gone to soon.. |

I always looked forward to her Announcements to let us all know she would be arriving soon .
The anticipation for the next Brogan Family Trip Report was a day to cheer .
Sometimes I started to worry if it seemed to be awhile .
So this recent update that brings sad news is really sad .
I think I will continue to look for her in every crowd at WDW and Universal Studios because of her many descriptions of her Hat she might be wearing or outfit , specially designed to match the holiday event , or even decorations on her “ mode of transport” … She had a designer mind and a loving heart overflowing with so much to share .
She will always be missed for so many uplifting reasons . Thank you Jen, for all the memories .

Sincere condolences to her family. I didn't know her personally but knew her posts on old and new MO and I'm sure those with disabilities really appreciated her perspective and all of the helpful tips and tricks she provided along her happy journeys.

Tom, thank you for sharing this news. Like others have posted, while I did not have the privilege of meeting Jen in person, I feel like we all knew her through her trip reports. It is a sad day when such a generous, funny, and kind person passes away. Jen's passion for sharing her magical experiences at Disney World was a true gift. Her vivid descriptions and infectious joy allowed us to vicariously experience her trips.
I'll bring a bottle of water and have a toast to Jen on the next trip on the Jungle Cruise to salute her enduring love for the "back side of water" and the gentle dad-joke humor of the ride that she mentioned to us all in TRs so many times. She will be missed.

So very sad....like so many, I never met her in person, but I did meet a number of Disney CMs (especially one at SSR) who knew & loved her and delighted in talking about her and confirming my "internet impression" of her as an amazing person. Rest in peace, Jen--or better yet, climb on all those rides up in heaven, scooting around w/Grandpa Mohawk, knowing your light shines on us still below.

Such sad news. I enjoyed Jen’s trip reports a lot but had never met her in person.
My sincere condolences to her family and friends - I’m certain she will be sorely missed!
