I never met Jessica but I read about her on obesity help. I was always checking her page for updates. She had a great heart and really fought to stay here for her family. She will be missed. I think of her sometimes. Because of her struggle I cherish the time I have with my son now. My condolesences to her family.

I think of Jess all the time I can still see her smile and hear her laugh. Jess and I had a favorite table where we had coffee at Starbuck's. I just found out they are closing that location, so I will no longer be able to sit at our favorite table, which makes me sad. But no matter what changes in the real world my memories and friendship with Jess will remain forever. I miss you so much Jess!

Hello,

I read in this weeks news the acticle regarding Jessica and I was so upset that I had to find out more so I went to the website where she wrote so many entries. My goodness, what pain and sorrow she and her family endured! What struck me so much was her optimistic attitude and her will to live! Through her writings I could feel the love she had for her son the one person whom she wanted to protect so much and the one whom she loved with truly all of her soul. She fought so hard to be the best Mommy she could for him and I am just heart broken that she is not here anymore. I did not personally know here but I wish I had. I wish I could hug her son for her right now and whisper in his ear just how much she will miss him and how her love for him will never end. I pray that he will always feel her presence. May God forever be with you and help you through this very difficult time.

Reading Jessica's story, I was touched by her honesty. She was not afraid to say how she was feeling about something. She was beautiful...inside and out. Now she is at peace and in no more pain. Her son will always know his mama was a brave fighter. Your family is in our prayers.

I didn't know Jessie on a personal level -- we did exchange e-mails back and forth last year around this time as she was having trouble getting through the holiday. I remember sending her a box of goodies and how thankful she was. Just yesterday as I was out shopping I thought to myself "I've got to go see how Jess is doing - because I want to make sure she's covered this year for the holiday". I'm still in tears after reading she passed. What a wonderful and courageous woman to go through what she did. Bless her and the strength she has given me.

Love,

Melanie

I did know Jessica from e-mail correspondence. She will always be my angel; when I read her entries, it made me realize how much suffering she experienced. She never mentioned anything negative to be for she knew that I was going thru problems. I'll always keep her in my heart. Rest in Peace Jess....

I am not sure if Jessica or her parents would remember me, but I played soccer with her when we were younger. I just spent the last hour reading her online journal. I feel as though I met her again. She is so amazing, she is a super hero! I don't need to tell anyone this, it is obvious by the 13 pages of people that have responded here and on OH. Her online story will continue to be read and she will continue to inspire and encourage others for years to come. We lost a super hero and heaven gained a super angel. Her family and friends are in my prayers!

I did not know Jennie, but had the chance to read her profile on OH. My heart just broke as I read her entries and saw the pictures of herself with her little boy. She was a strong, deterined young woman. My heart goes out to her little boy and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Jessica and I were great friends in high school but had since lost touch. After reading her online journal I got to know her again through all of her stories. All I can say is, "wow"! What a beautiful, dedicated, and inspirational woman she was. She loved her family more than anything in this world, especially her son. I hope he will know just how much he was loved by his mommy and may he find comfort to know that mommy is no longer suffering and is in a peaceful place looking down on him and smiling with pride. My thoughts and prayers are with your family!! May God bless and comfort you all.

In deepest sympathy,

Dear family and special loved ones of Jessie,

Jessica touched so many lives in so many ways--she was inspirational for her strength, courage and unconditional support to others even when facing her own pain and illness. Her spirit will live on in all whom she touched and in the fabulous love that she gave to her family and friends. What a remarkable woman. I will never forget her.

With great sympathy,

My deepest sympathy

To Jessie’s Family.

We met online,

And shared in over a year's worth

Of “complications” together.

Her sense of humor

Held us both above the pain

For quite a while.

The world is smaller

For her passing.

Best Wishes-

I can't believe that I'm writing in an obituary guest book for Jessica. I mean, I guess I was just sure she was always going to physically be here, you know? It's so difficult to believe... But as everyone else has said, she'll never really leave us. She will always be around, smiling down at us feeling relieved, comfortable, blissful and free. I extend my best wishes and warmest regards to her entire family and closest circle of friends... that's quite a crowd! We love you and miss you, Jessica! I hope you could feel the hug I just gave you.

I am so saddened yet inspired by Jessica's story. I didn't know Jessica or read her entries on the obesityhelp website until now. To her family and brave little son--- I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for Jessica's ability to open ones eyes to the value of life, she has made me realize the importance of living each moment to the fullest. She has taught me so much in just reading her entries....WOW. What a wonderful and beautiful woman. I will always remember her story and just hope and pray that if I ever endure such pain I could do it as dignified and selflessly as she did.

I MET JESSICA ON THE OBESITYHELP SITE AND WE BECAME FRIENDS. DURING HER DIFFERENT STOMACH SURGERIES I WOULD TRY TO KEEP HER UPLIFTED AND SENT HER LOTS OF JOKES TO HELP HER LAUGH. WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE SEVERAL TIMES AND I CONSIDERED HER ONE OF MY KIDS. SHE GAVE A VALIANT FIGHT FOR HER LIFE, SHE SURE WAS A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY FOR SURE. GOD BLESS HER FAMILY AND MAY JESSICA REST IN PEACE. HUGS, SUSIE Q FROM THE OBESITYHELP.COM SITE

Dear Family of Jessica,

There are no words that can be of comfort at this time, I know. I’ve walked all to often in your shoes. Know that you had a truly extraordinary daughter who lived and loved for all of you. She is an inspiration to all, and myself, who did and did not know her on Obesity Help and around the world. There was never a stranger in Jessica’s eyes, just another friend to be made. One with a common bond that she was willing to support, even in her darkest of hours. She had physical pain, but emotional love no matter how she was feeling and was willing to share her infectious laughter and sense of humor with everyone who would listen, and often, those who didn’t want to.

May your sweet memories of her love live on in Zeke and may you carry her in your hearts forever! For her being on this earth, I feel as though I am a better person to have known her. Her selflessness is an example that not many can hold a candle to. If the world were perfect, there would be more like her, but unfortunately it’s not. She always held her head high, with dignity, and I believe was already an angel before she left this earth. She was an eternally grateful person with all of the will to move mountains as she held on for all of you because she loved you that much. She loved you, unconditionally, and always will. Honor her, live for her, love for her, cry for her. She is at peace in God’s house now.

Godspeed Jessica! Thanks for the memories!

With love and sadness...

To Jessica's family and friends,

I only knew Jessica for brief amount of time. I read her story on OH and my heart and prayers went out to her instantly. I was so happy to get a chance to meet her at Eagan Coffee weekend. She was so positive and full of energy and it just inspired me to see someone as young as her fighting so hard to stay here on earth with the people she loved so much. I cried hard when I saw the post on the OH site from Gwen. I wish that we could've done more for her sooner. I know that her spirit will live on in her family and friends and I feel so blessed to have met such a wonderful person. I hope that you will find peace in knowing that she is no longer suffering and that she will be watching over you always.

Take care and God Bless,

Simone

I'm also a member of OH and have read Jessica's story and emailed a couple of times. I'm so sorry that she has lost her battle, but know that she's in a better place, up there with Momma Angel watching over the rest of us.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of Jessica. I didn't know her personally, but I could see that she was a very strong and brave person by what I read on her journal on obesityhelp. May God bless you all and help you get through this tough time.

Jessie was filled with love, hope and the ability to express her self honestly. I only knew her through her obesityhelp profile and will miss her greatly. Rest peacefully Jessie. God's speed.

As a member of obesity help, I have followed Jessica's journey, and then her fight with cancer. She was a great person with a zest for life. She will be missed. I am sorry for your loss. God Bless.

Jessie was my cousin and although we have not seen each other as often as adults as we had as children, I know what a special woman and loving mother she was. My love, tears and prayers go out to the rest of her family (and mine). God be with the Harris' and Ostroushko's now more than ever.
