Jessyca Stephenson Obituary


STEPHENSON, Jessyca Lyn
Jessyca Stephenson passed away quietly on Thursday, March 17, 2005, wrapped in her family's arms after a courageous battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Jessyca was born in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, July 22, 1985. She moved to Folsom, CA, in 2001 with her family. Jessyca Stephenson graduated from Folsom High School in 2003 and attended Sierra College. She was employed at Blue Shield of California. Jessyca was the daughter of Mark and Susan Stephenson of Folsom, and big sister to Ryan Stephenson who loved her very much. Jessyca's grandparents are Bill and Evelyn Shock of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Lucille Stephenson of Folsom. Jessyca will be sadly missed by her aunts, uncles, and many cousins; uncle Larry and Aunt Mary Rose Franko (Anthony and Michael) of Buffalo, NY, Aunt Lyn and Uncle Billy Hibbert (Matt DeLisio) of Pittsburgh, Uncle Bill Shock (Tyler and Jason) of Orlando, FL, Aunt Judy and Uncle Jeff Scarpinato (J.T., Tori, Mary, and Mikey) of Sherrard, IL, and Uncle Tommy Shock (Ashley and Amy) of Pittsburgh, and her boyfriend Stan Williams of South San Francisco, CA. She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents William and Ethel Reed and Samuel and Nora Shock. While fighting her battle with cancer, Jessyca's dream was to become a nurse and work with the children of St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. She very much wanted to ease the pain and suffering of the children going through the same thing she was experiencing. Although her dream will not be realized, her own pain and suffering has been taken away. Visitation will be held Monday, March 21, from 5:00-7:00 PM and funeral services on Tuesday, March 22, at 10 AM at Green Valley Mortuary, corner of Green Valley and Bass Lake Roads, Cameron Park. Memorials may be made to the UC Davis Cancer Center, 4501 X St., Sacramento, CA 95817, or to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 3105 Fite Cir., Sacramento, CA 95827.

Hey Jesse,
I was thinking about you today, and randomly searched your name in google. I came across your website from when you were 16, I had no idea that you could write such good poetry! I am now 19 years old and attending the University of Missouri studying journalism...I guess writing runs in the family :p
I'm glad that I came across this website again, considering the last time I must have visited it I was only 13.
I miss you and love you cousin!
Love
Jt

If I wish on stars and believe in fairies will it bring her back? If I pray and pled, will the pain ever stop? If I'm reckless and careless will she guide me? If I say I love you, will she hear me? If I dream of her and hear her voice, is it real? If I say I'm sorry, am I forgiven? If I see her, am I with her? Is it reality or just a dream to comfort my sorrow. If I close my eyes I can smell her, if I listen I can hear her laugh. I see her smile and believe her eyes.

Jess, I love you and miss you so much

My baby Jess,
Another year has come to an end. It is so hard to believe that it has now been five Christmas' without you. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Since our move to Bay Point in September, we have been going through all of the boxes. I can't beleive how much of your stuff I had in every room and just about every drawer. We are putting all of your things together now so nothing gets lost. It gives us so much joy to go through all of your things and remember all of the good times and the milestones over the years. Daddy and I went out to Green Valley to see you last week. We brought you some very pretty and brightly colored flowers. We thought you would like them. Jess, we wish you would have been here with us this Christmas. Know that you live in our hearts and are never forgotten. I love you.

I've never met you, but I know who you are through the eyes and hearts of your family. Jessyca, you must have been born an angel. Your mom has been a blessing to my life and I hear how much she loves you and misses you. It makes me hurt for her because I can only imagine what it would feel like to loose your precious baby girl. They love you and through them, so do I.

Jessyca,
So many months have gone by. I have not gone one single day without thinking about you. I have not written your guest book and have absolutely no excuse. I love you so much and miss your beautiful face everyday of my life. Please watch over us, especially your little brother. He misses you so much!

My Angel Jess,
Another year, another birthday. Sometimes I can't breathe just thinking about the time you've been gone. I find it amazing that there are people who think I should be "over" our loss of you. I don't think I will EVER be over losing you. I intend to keep you so close to my mind and my heart for the rest of my life. I will honor you on every birthday and I will relive losing you every St. Patricks Day. I know you know that we love you so much and words cannot even begin to say what missing you is like. I can only hope that you will be waiting for us all when it is our time to be with you.
Happy Birthday Baby, I love you very much

Jess,
Happy Birthday! You are 3 years re-born today. It still seems like yesterday that we had you here. I can't believe its been three long years since we have had the privledge of seeing your beauthiful face and hearing your infectious laughter. Daddy and I went to visit you today and decorated your headstone. It looks like you're having a party:-) It was a beautiful day to go see you and guess who was coming to visit you while we were there? Kat and her boyfriend. She misses you so much. I can see it in her face. But you already know that. Ryan didn't come with us today. I think it is hard on him. We didn't push it. Jess, we love you so much and know that you are watching over us. Please watch over your Gram and Gramps. They love you so much too and this day is very hard on them. I will come back to see you soon. I love you!!

Mom

Jess my baby,
Another Christmas goes by and we cannot celebrate like we used to when you were with us. We took a trip this year to LA. I decorated the yard but didn't put up the tree. Ryan didn't want one. I miss your beautiful laugh and smile as you opened up your Christmas gifts. I look through those pictures all the time. We all love you very much and know that you are still with us in spirit.

Jess,
I can't believe I made it through last week. It was the 4th anniversary of your diagnosis. That first week of November is always hard to deal with. I miss you so much. You are constantly in my thoughts and in my dreams. The holidays are coming up and it is always hard this time of year. Daddy and Ryan miss you so much too. I hope that Hershey is with you now and you both are looking out for your brother. I love you with all my heart and soul.

Hi Baby,
Your 22nd birthday is coming up next month. I can't believe how it's been over 2 yrs since you've been gone. Daddy, Ryan and I think about you everyday. You are forever in our family conversations. Everything we do reminds me of something we did all together as a family. We went to Six Flags on Saturday and I could only think of the never ending summers we spent at Kennywood with everyone. How you were never afraid of any ride no matter how big it was and how small you were. You were fearless. Fearless...that is how I always remember you no matter what you faced. Fearless when you were 4 and the bigger boys picked on you. You stomped their feet and walked away... and fearless again as you battled the disease that took you from us. We miss you so much and want you to know you are still very much a part of our family life. I love you Jess.

Jess,
I can't believe it has been 2 years since you left us. It feels like yesterday that I was yelling at you to clean your room or we were arguing about when you should be coming in at night. I can't believe we will never see you graduate college, get married or have children. One thing I do know and that is this was God's plan for you and no matter what, you know that you are loved and missed more than words can say. We had to put Hershey to rest on March 8th and I know because he was "your" dog, he is with you and both of you are happy and healthy now. Daddy, Ryan and I miss you terribly and love you very much.

Forever in my heart,
Mom

Jess,
It's a few days before Christmas. We miss you so much. It is hard to believe that it's been over a year and a half and our second Christmas without you. this year has seemed to hit me harder than last. I have been thinking of you alot lately. We are not going to have a traditional Christmas this year. I can't seem to handle having Christmas like we have every year with you with us. This year, daddy, Ryan and I are going on a vacation for Christmas. I need to do something different to make it different. I know my thoughts will still be of you but I am hoping that it will be more tolerable by doing something different. Please know that we love you so much and wish that you were here with us. I love you Jessyca,
Mom

It has been a few months since I have written in your guestbook but you know that I talk to you everyday. I continue to miss you deeply and your beautiful smile and wonderful heart remain in my thoughts. It has been hectic at work and I know you know how busy it's been. Ryan has been good although he misses you very much. Daddy has been working hard too. We talk about you everyday and include you in our talks and our thoughts. I love you baby girl. We will all be together some day.

Hi baby,

I am missing you so much. yesterday was Mother's Day. Daddy and I went to see you and brought you some pretty flowers. Your turtle, teddy and angel are all still with you. I have been thinking about you alot lately. I can feel you near. Too many coincidences.... Daddy saw Stan in Martinez the other day. Stan called and was so excited because he said he heard a song on the radio that reminded him of you and the next thing he knew, he was pulling into the same McDonalds your dad was eating lunch at. Ryan told me to tell you he loves you. I love you so much and wish you were here with us. Until next time by baby, I love you.

A Soul Lives On





It feels so lonely without you near

It feels so wrong that you’re not here

It feels so dark through the night

I feel so sad without you in sight



One year ago you left us all;

One year ago you heard Him call.

That cancer came and took its toll;

But that monster never could take your soul.



Your presence felt not a day gone by;

Your presence felt way up on high.

Someday you’ll tell us why you’ve gone;

When you teach us to go on.



Your smiling face, we see each day;

Your heart and soul will never stray.

We’ve learned so much since you’ve been gone;

We know that now our souls live on.



You fought so hard, you gave your best

But in the end, you had to rest.

My baby girl, your pain is gone

My baby girl, your love lives on.





In loving memory of our precious Jessyca Lyn

Jessyca,

It's been awhile since I have written in your guestbook. Things have been really busy here but you already know that. You also know that their isn't an hour that goes by that I don't think of you or miss you deeply. It is approaching a year since you crossed over and it feels like yesterday. Sometimes I still can't believe it and it is still a surreal feeling. Daddy and Ryan miss you as much as I do. Ryan has created a "Jessyca memory box" in his room. He keeps small trinkets of yours and goes through them frequently. He picks special things that you loved such as special bracelets or a poem you wrote. You remain very special and very missed by him. We are finally going to see your headstone on Saturday. It is finally here and ready to be set. The etching of your beautiful face is something to see. We love you Jessyca and want you to know you are always on my mind and in my heart.

Love,

Mom

My precious Jess,

It's almost Christmas. It hardly seems possible we will have Christmas without you this year. I have all of your hand made ornaments from when you were little, proudly displayed on the tree. It was very hard to put up the tree this year but, we did for Ryan. Your dad and I know you would have wanted that as well. I have gone through most of your things which was extremely difficult but also very memorable at the same time. I have many of your things that I am keeping. We will have a quiet Christmas this year with just us. You will be with us, we know that. We love you Jess, and miss you very much. Please watch over us and keep your brother in your sight.

Love,

Mom

Hello my heart, it will be 7 months on Monday since you left your pain behind. I have struggled with that day since you left, trying to figure out why you left us when we were planning your 2nd Bone Marrow Transplant just the night before. You seemed accepting of it but, now I know you were only trying to please us. That night you decided that your body had enough. I now know that you didn't leave us behind, you left your pain behind. I feel you everyday with me...a butterfly near me, a soft breeze on my cheek when there is no wind, and your songs on the radio at exactly the right moment. I cry for you everyday because I miss you so much, but I don't miss what you were going through. For that, I am happy that you are free. I know now and truly believe we will all be together someday and for that I can wait. I love you, daddy loves you, Ryan loves you and Hershey loves you forever and ever.

Love,

Mom

It's been years since they told her about it

The darkness her body possessed

And the scars are still there in the mirror

Everyday that she gets herself dressed

Though the pain is miles and miles behind her

And the fear is now a docile beast

If you ask her why she is still running

She'll tell you it makes her complete





I run for hope

I run to feel

I run for the truth

For all that is real

I run for your mother your sister your wife

I run for you and me my friend I run for life



It's a blur since they told me about it

How the darkness had taken its toll

And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body

But they will never get a piece of my soul

And now I'm still learning the lesson

To waken when I hear the call

And if you ask me why I am still running

I'll tell you I run for us all







And someday if they tell you about it

If the darkness knocks on your door

Remember her remember me

We will be running as we have before

Running for answers

Running for more

MY PRECIOUS CHILD THEN AND NOW



When you were a little girl, you were quite hyper

Now I believe you are calm and serene.

When you started school, you struggled with making friends

Now I believe that you are a leader among many.

When you were a preteen you found it difficult to learn

Now I believe that you are smarter than all of us.

When you were in high school, you thought you were the ugly duckling

Now I believe that you are more beautiful than perfection itself.

When you first became an adult, you found your jobs hard to hang on to

Now I believe that you are the CEO of all your dreams.

When you first became ill, the pain held you prisoner

Now I believe…that you are free.



I Love You my beautiful girl,

Mommy

Jessy,

My baby!! Today is your birthday. You would have been 20 yrs old today and I can do nothing but miss you. It has been a hard and difficult week for me. Everything has reminded me that this is your week and I won't have you here to celebrate. I know that you are watching us and celebrating your birthday with us. We are going to visit you tomorrow when Stan gets here. Kat is comming too. We are bringing you birthday balloons and flowers. Afterward, we will come home for cake and ice cream. We are going to celebrate you and your life. We love you so much Jess and want you to know you are deeply missed and always loved.

Hey Turtle! IT's your Duckie. It's been awhile since i wrote you. But i think about you all the time. I miss you so much. I am getting all the pictures I have of us and am making a memory book. I've really needed you lately. Sometimes i dont know what to do because i don't have you to talk to. But i still ask for your help. You already know that though. Yesterday was memorial day and i didn't have a very good one. I spent a lot of time alone and all i could think about was you. I think about calling Stan all the time but can't because i know i will think even more about you. even though i want to know how he is doing. I am sure you are watching out for him. I've seen your mom a few times. But it is still hard for me to call. Or to talk about. The other night for some reason i just broke down. i still am having so many problems with this but i know you are so much better now. I hope to see you again and finish all the great times we started. Love you Turtle



Love Your, Duckie

Jess,

Hi my baby, daddy and I went to San Diego for our anniversary this weekend. I thought of you alot while we were there. We had Dinner with Diana on Saturday night there and took her to the USS Midway aircraft carrier for a sightseeing tour. We talked about you alot. Diana was such a good friend to you. She misses you very much. On our way home today, I found 2 shiny pennies directly under my seat at two different places at two different times. I know you were telling us you were with us. Jess, I know your spirit lives on with us and you are very happy now. Daddy, Ryan and I love you very much and miss your smiling beautiful face. Love, Mom

Jess,

I continue to think about you many times a day. I feel your presence around me constantly. I still cannot change anything in your room. Everything is the same. Stan came to see us this weekend, but of course you know that. I am worried about him. He continues to be very depressed. I encouraged him to talk to you and accept you are still around us. He spent some time in your room and took some things of yours to keep. I know you would want him to have them. Daddy and Ryan and I love you and miss you so much. Please watch over your brother. I love you Jess.

Dear Susie,

My heart breaks for you and your family in the untimely passing of Jessyca. I know she didn't know about her distant cousins, we have a daughter just 2 weeks younger than Jessyca, her name is Lisa. It would have been great if they had known each other. Please know that you are in our prayers and we believe that Jessyca is and will be with her family in many ways. You will be in our prayers that love of family and friends will help you through this difficult time.

Hi Jess,

I just wanted to talk to you today. It is Ryan's birthday and he is 9 yrs old. Dad and I got him a Gameboy DS and you got him the new "Robots" game for his gameboy. He loved them both. We saw your most beautiful rainbow on Friday. It was a perfect arc with the most vivid colors I have ever seen. I knew it was from you when I saw it arching over through Green Valley. I know you are safe now. We miss you so much and I think about you constantly. I love you Jess.

Love, Mom

Dear Susie,

I just learned of Jessyca's passing, and my heart and prayers go out to you and Mark and Ryan. There are no words that ease the pain, but I hope that you find comfort in the support of family and friends, and that in time you again find acceptance and peace.

If you find yourself in Pittsburgh, please let me know. It's been too long a time, and I'd love to have you spend some time with my wife Judy and me.

Also, I'd like you to know that your parents were a huge support to me when my Mom was ill and eventually passed away in February. You are blessed with a great family.

Peace

Jay

Jessyca,

You were always there for me and I love you for that. We were as close as sisters and i will never forget you. I know that you are not in anymore pain, and are happy. I wish we had more time and you got to do all the things you wanted. I miss you so much. I think about you everyday. I wish i could just pick up the phone and call to go see a movie with you. But now i can't. You are in a better place and I know i will see you again. That you are watching down on us all and smiling. I love you for all the great times we had and the memories. And for you being so wonderful. Thank you for everything. May you rest in peace until we met again. My deepest sympathy to your family. I love you my little turtle and always will.

Mark and Susan: I am Clair, Chaplain for Caring About Prisoners, Outside Looking In 4U and Vision of Hope Prison Ministry. I am sorry for your loss. We never understand why these things happen to our children especially when they are so young. Isaiah 57: 1, and 2 gives us some insight as to why God allows these things to happen. I firmly believe that when a righteous person or innocent person is taken it is because God wnated to make sure that person would be safe from all the devil's dirty tricks. Safe from some other tragedy in the future. She is now in His arms and out of pain forever. God bless you and know that my prayers are with you and your family. In Christ's Service....Clair E.

Jessyca had a smile that would light up every room she entered. Her presence will be so greatly missed but never forgotten. She will be remembered by her many co-workers at Blue Shield of CA. I send my condolences to the Stephenson family.

Jessyca you will be sorely missed by everyone who was blessed to know you and who you have touched their hearts. I haven't seen you since you were a little girl when you and your mom used to stay with Uncle Tommy and I. I still love you and I will always remember you as that lively little girl that I remember you as. You are very beautiful and I wished I had seen you more in recent years. I know you are not suffering anymore and You are in the arms of Jesus and Jesus needed another Angel so he took you home.I have many wonderful memories of you, ashley & Amy that I will cherish forever in my heart. You are in the best hands now and that is God's. Your body may not be here anymore but your spirit will live on in all of us who loved you so dearly.I know Heaven is having a party in your honor and the trumpets are blowing.

Dear Lord Jesus, eternal rest grant unto Jessy and let her light shine and may she rest in peace in Jesus name AMEN !! I love you Jessy and I will miss you.
