Jessica Sciandra Obituary
Virginia Beach - Jessica Rose Sciandra (nee Warren), 38, passed suddenly on March 16, 2015. Jessica's life blazed like a bonfire in the darkness and warmed the hearts and minds of all of those that new her. She loved those she knew with incredible intensity; she forged bonds that will far exceed her all too-brief time on this earth with family and with friends both old and new. Jessica will always be our daughter, our sister, our mother, our best friend, a comfort when we are down, a random picture sent to make us laugh, a shoulder to cry on, a long-ago story shared to make us giggle. Jessica led us through life and taught us to have fun. Jessica is survived by her loving children, Tyler and Isabella, her parents Paul and Rita, her sisters Paula and Kimmy, her brother Greg, her grandparents Charlie and Ruby, her boyfriend Bob, and friends both old and new. In lieu of flowers, the family requests those seeking to make donations to do so on behalf of Jessica's children by depositing at any Navy Federal Credit Union, under the name Jessica Rose Sciandra.
A Celebration of Jessica's Life will be held on Saturday, April 4, 2015, 12:00 Noon at Rosewood-Kellum Funeral Home by Celebrant Sondra Holmes. Friends may offer condolences at www.kellumfuneralhome.com

Jessica. No words can express how much I miss u. We were so much alike. We had great times in such a short period of time and had I known u wouldn't be here I would of lived louder with you. This is such a big loss for every one. Your personality was infectious. You called and face timed me the day before and I couldn't answer. Everyday I wish I would of answered the phone. I look at ur pictures daily and watch recordings of us and the kids just so I can hear your voice. I love you.

I love Jessica and will forever treasure my memories of her. My heart breaks every time I think about everyone that knew her, especially her children. She was an awesome mother and I pray for Tyler and Bella often. I know they are loved by everyone and I hope they will often find peace in their memories of their mother knowing how much she loved them. I'm tempted to delete what I've written because I feel there are no words appropriate for her passing through this life. Please just know I grieve for the loss of her life too, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and may lots of love fill your hearts with special memories of her life.

If you're wondering why its taken me so long to write this message my beautiful sweet Jessie Girl, its because I've been trying to find the right words, but I realise now that there are no words, none to describe your funniness, beautiful nature or your sweet compassionate soul. No words come close to telling you how much I will always love ❤ you or how much a part of my heart ❤ that you will always have a place in, nor how very much I will miss you my gorgeous friend, god must have needed a special angel. My prayers & deepest condolences to all her family & loved ones. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, R.I.P JESSIE GIRL, love ❤ always, Tam, Gemma Aaron & Cassie , your Aussie family ❤❤❤

Dear Rita & Paul. I have known you for years thru Paul's Mom & Dad, Ruby & Charlie. They have told me stories of Jessica who they loved so dearly. I met Bella, Jessica's daughter, last summer and what a special little girl she is. You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers. Jessica can now watch over you and your family. She is with the Lord and His angels.
