Sending my deepest sympathies to the family of jen bongco. It is a tragedy to be taken so soon and from two daughters that you love so much. My heart just aches. May the LOVE of God and his peace that surpasses all understanding, embrace those whose hearts are hurting and free you from burdens of pain.

I met Jennifer and her daughters just a month ago, when I visited thier home because they wanted to adopt a dog id rescued. Jennifer was a kind and compassionate person, showing genuine care and concern for a medical condition i'm battling, as well as making a snack and getting drinks for her young daughter and my son while they played together in the next room. Jennifer and I sat and discussed the dog, with her older daughter for over an hour- we had plans to visit the dog and to bring my son over for more play dates with her sweet little girl... But shortly before I would leave them with the pup, that horrible man entered the house. He spoke to me in a cold, cruel manner- curt, abrupt, and that tone got even more hostile when he over heard that I am a retired police officer. He made multiple rude and derogatory comments to me, jennifer and both girls- and his demeanor made my blood run cold. He never introduced himself- I didn't know if he lived there or what his relation was... After coldly accusing me of lying about the dog's personality and habits, he abruptly stood up, grabbed the leash from my hand a demanded that the dog sit... Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed the pup's collar- telling at him to sit in a booming, terrifying voice. I was all for all of us- but mostly Jennifer and her daughters. Afraid, I couldn't figure out how to back away with the dog, so I decided to communicate my concerns to the oldest daughter (who was officially the one adopting him). As soon as I collected my son and got in the car, we texted at length before id even let the driveway- I asked all about who the horrible man was, and begged her to keep the dog away from him. She explained that he was abusive and mean- that her mom had only recently dropped a restraining order, and I couldn't hold back my concern, I begged her to call me if the girls, mom, the dog, any of them needed to be rescued from the house. It was completely evident that this huge, domineering, aggressive man was dangerous and his hatred of women, and the utter lack of respect for anyone was clear as day. I was certain that he was high on opiates or cocaine from his behavior and my experience as a police officer, and I told her daughter that I prayed her mom would quickly make the right decision to keep them all safe, but my gut feeling was that jennifer, despite her beautiful caring personality and her clear intelligence .. Was over her head in the cycle of abuse and that there was likely no safe way to escape. Sadly, a person that aggressive and controlling is clearly a master manipulator- Jennifer truly believed that she and her daughters were safe or she wouldn't have dropped the restraining order... But as I so often saw, with even the most well educated and intelligent of women, especially those of asian decent who come to the us for new lives and opportunities- somehow these abusive men fund a way to undermine thier better judgment and gain a trust they should never have. If you are a woman who has ever taken a man back after a situation of abuse, please get help to escape. Jennifer was a wonderful woman trapped in a horrible relationship with the man who murdered her- she couldn't see the danger that was so clear to even a stranger who met them both for even a short encounter. I am heartbroken for all involved, especially Jen's girls. Daughters who witness abuse of thier mother are significantly more likely to become involved with abusers themselves. I sincerely hope the scum bag responsible for Jens tragic passing is brought to justice- I hope he is treated horribly by the prison system and other inmates, and I hope he suffers and wastes away slowly. He is a purely evil person, evident to anyone who met him, even as briefly as I did. I pray for her family, especially her youngest, that she gets all the help and support she'll need to get through this awful and tragic time. And everyone who reads this... Please, trust your gut, Speak up. Don't allow a loved one to drop a restraining order, or to take back an abuser. And mother's, keep your childre
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My sincere condolences to the Bongco Family. What has given many much hope and comfort is what Jesus said at John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."
