Just wanted to say I miss you so much Jess. Words will never be able to describe how much I truly miss you. You'll always be like my little sister and I'll forever cherish the many memories we share together. I went to visit you the last couple days to check on you and I also brought you some roses. I really hope you liked them. I know your with me and everyone else watching over us from above. I really wish I could see you, talk to you and hug you one more time but I have faith and believe I will be able to do all those things one day when I see you again! Forever in our hearts! I love you Jess!

You have always been a very sweet girl.. so nice anyone could could cling to your outgoing personality.
Throughout middle school and freshman year we grew very close.. we were practically like sisters.. I still cant believe it Jess. We have a million great memories and I'm going to miss every last one of them. I truly appreciate everything you and your family has done for me.
