It´s been a year now and I still can´t understand why a person that had so much love and laughter was taken so soon. I´m a Christian and I know that God has a reason and plan for everyone and I trust in him. He needed Jess´s funny humor in Heaven. RIP my friend

It´s hard to find the words to describe what Jess meant to me. What I can say is that I really cared deeply for her. We worked together for years and had our ups and downs. But the day she called me her friend was one of the happiest days of my life. I will miss everything about her. There will never be another Jessica. May God wrap his arms around her and welcome her in his kingdom. We will always miss her but I´m glad that I had the honor to have meant her. I love you my friend

Wow, I don´t know what to say. This was such a shock for me. I loved Jessica with all my heart. We had not seen each other for a few years but I always thought about her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. Fly high sweet girl. You will be missed by all! Love you girl!

Jess made me appreciate life. She taught me what it was like to be a real human being. There was no fake in Jess. She told you what she thought and what you needed to hear. She also had the ability to make you feel better when you felt at your worst. One of the things I loved most about Jess is that she always had my back. She looked out for me at DSG, GG and in my personal. I love her and her family. My favorite thing to do is laugh and I have many dad jokes... Jess loved dad jokes.. So what does a duck say when she puts on lipstick??? Just put it in my bill... Rest in heaven Jess! I´ll check in on your fam. I wanted to post a pic of you and I but I wanted to post my favorite pic of you.
