We were visiting the lighthouse on San Juan Island and read about the orca/sea life underwater sound system in memory of Jessica. I was grateful and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Jessica loves orcas!!
Thank you so much. I still am so emotional about Sandy Hook.

Jessica is so beautiful preciously child and god rescued her and she's free now and is looking down to you all with love and she's waiting for you in some day. She's riding a horse around everywhere up there happily with her all friends. She's safe in heaven. I know how hard it is being without her but she's on your side every time where you go with smiles forever with love
