Day 82
Jenna
June 16th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
So many comments about her. Jenna must be quite the woman.
I always wanted some guy to write my name on a bridge
For some reason I think I would have really liked Jenna; R.I.P Jenna.

I bet it is…. so sad.
Katzien, you are so right. That has to be her. Her brother, Jared, drowned in the Sheyenne River in 2004. His name is there also.
That is so sad…
Sad when Children die (way before her/his time)
RIP JENNA and Jared:
From 2009.. Jenna Ann Diemert age 15 of Valley City, North Dakota left us on Friday May 8, 2009. Funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 PM Wednesday May 13, 2009 at Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City with Reverend Brandon Woodruff officiating. Interment will be in Woodbine Cemetery near Valley City.
Jenna Ann Diemert, the dearly loved daughter of Joel “Tony” and Jane (Oberg) Diemert was born October 22, 1993 in Valley City, North Dakota. Jenna attended Elementary School and Valley City Junior High School in Valley City. She was currently a freshman at Valley City High School.
As a child Jenna enjoyed gymnastics, softball, going to her Grandpa and Grandma’s Lake Cabin and beanie babies. Weekends were spent going on dumpling soup dates with her dad to Kenney’s Restaurant and baking and doing crafts with her mom. Most recently her talents showed through her artwork with a 3rd place finish in the The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Competition. Jenna loved listening to music, socializing with her friends and snuggling with her cat Taz. Her vibrant and friendly personality brought pleasure to her customers at Roby’s Restaurant in Valley City. Jenna’s outgoing personality will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Jenna is survived by her parents Joel “Tony” and Jane Diemert of Valley City, her grandparents Marlin and Jeanette Oberg of Valley City and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Jenna was preceded in death by her brother Jared, grandfather Romaine Diemert, grandmothers, Lucille Oberg and Joyce (Diemert) Christianson and one uncle Scott Oberg.

9:45 a.m. – FARGO — A teenager who slipped down an embankment and fell into the Sheyenne River has died at a hospital here, authorities say.
Police said Jared Diemert, 16, of Valley City, was under water for about half an hour before divers located him Wednesday.
Police Chief Dean Ross said Diemert was at a Valley City park with three friends when he slipped down the embankment. Police were called about 5 p.m.
Ross said the first police officer on the scene jumped into the river to try to rescue Diemert, but the water was too deep for the officer to find the teen.
The Valley City Fire Department eventually recovered the boy, who was unconscious. He was taken to Mercy Hospital in Valley City and then transferred to a Fargo hospital, where he died overnight.
Two babies…oh my. those poor parents :(
This beautiful young girls death has now gone beyond her own little town. If you read the next page of comments and go to the posting by “Nestlequikie” March 28, 2010 reply #9 she posted a youtube tribute and a few pics. Makes you wonder if her brothers death may have just been too much for her young life to handle. She certainly looks happy, fun and crazy like all girls are at her age. How sad for her parents…..
This is too, too sad – :(.
OMG….this is so tragically sad. so sad.
Rest in peace young Jenna. I hope she and her brother are together again.
