Chris, on the first day of your loss, God wept with you in the rain. He does not want his children to be sad. Yesterday, he sent the beautiful sun, so bright that outside even Amber said, "jasmine, stop smiling so much, you're blinding me". God will hold us all in His hands, soft and gentle, just the way Jasmine would hug me, so sincere and true. He tested her love twice- recently for you being ill, and second was for her own son's illness. He saw her pure love, and He is well pleased with her. He knew she would want to be together in the end with Brennan. We can only be a reflection of her now, loving hard and hugging long. I love you Chris and Amber. In the silence of our hearts, she is there. Listen for her, as you need her. Jasmine's life will not be forgotten, we can only hope to carry on her love.

Jasmine always had a smile on her face. No matter what she was going through, she always was steadfast with a gentle spirit. Jasmine was always caring and had true compassion in what others around her were going through.
