Friends remember couple as happy, madly in love He loved working on cars; she was a nanny to her nephews BY JESSICA SMITH Staff Writer Jennifer Dooley, 20, once said John Razillard, 19, was her life. To Razillard, Dooley was as close to his heart as she could be. The young township couple, who died together after a car crash late Friday night, were madly in love, according to friends. "If you just looked at them, you felt good because they just gave off this aura of love," said Crystal Swiecicki, a friend of the couple. On her MySpace page on the Internet, Dooley wrote: "John Razillard is my life. I love him." Also on the page, she quoted the movie "The Notebook" to describe her love for Razillard: "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever." According to Swiecicki's boyfriend, Joe Brescia, of Sayreville, Razillard had a tattoo of a heart containing Dooley's initials over his own heart. He kept the tattoo hidden from his parents, Brescia said, because he thought they would disapprove. Dooley and Razillard were killed after a collision with another vehicle at the intersection of Disbrow and Amboy roads shortly before midnight Friday. "They were such good people," Swiecicki said. "They never touched drugs, they didn't like to drink. They just had good, clean fun. That was our group, and now our group is split up." Brescia and Swiecicki were both shocked and devastated by the news. "My girlfriend came running down the stairs at 4 o'clock in the morning, screaming," Brescia said. According to Brescia, the last time the four friends had been together was New Year's Eve. The group enjoyed taking trips down to Seaside Heights, and bowling, and the men of the foursome would often drive go-carts around Dooley's home, Brescia said. "We could just sit somewhere and have a blast," Brescia said. "The funniest memory I have of John is, he wanted to drive me around on the go-cart. I didn't want to go because I was wearing all Sean John clothing, and he was like, 'Come on, bro, I promise I won't get you dirty.' So on purpose, he went flying through a mud puddle." Brescia said Razillard feigned surprise with a faux Southern accent, picked up during his time at an automotive mechanic school in Tennessee. Razillard returned from the school in October after his graduation from the program, which Dooley flew out to attend. During his time away, they visited each other as often as they could, Brescia said. Tom's Ford, of Keyport, employed Razillard for the past two weeks, according to Brescia. "He loved working on cars," Brescia said.D ooley was a nanny to her nephews, with whom she lived along with her brother and sister-in-law. She said on her MySpace page that "my nephews are a big part of my life," and listed her family and friends at the top of her list of interests. A nother of Dooley's major passions was photography. She also collected Disney movies. "Jenn was the biggest sweetheart in the world, and I'm not just [saying] that lightly," Brescia said. In one of her blogs on MySpace, Dooley expressed the importance of saying "I love you" to those one cares about, as well as being thankful for everything one has. "Life is full of the unexpected and the life-changing obstacles it throws at you," Dooley wrote. "Take each day as it comes; and as it comes, as your last." Dooley also wrote that she believes everything happens for a reason. Brescia spoke of an experience he thought happened for a reason. He said Dooley's computer is shut off, and her phone line is disconnected, but the away message for her screen name popped up out of the blue online. "We believe it's to tell us that they're OK, and still together," Brescia said. "I love you and I miss you, Jenny and John. Please save a spot for me up there, if I'm allowed in. I know you guys are up there." Swiecicki said she also knows they are in a better place. "I know they'll be our guardian angels now," Swiecicki said
