Dear George & Ann,
It was my privilege to be able to make the trip to be at Jessies' funeral. I would have liked to be able to visit under different circumstances. But, to be able to be with all of you was something I would not have missed. We will miss Jessie and her fighting spirit. May God help you all to get through these difficult times. We love you.

Dear George & Ann:

We are so sorry for your loss. We so enjoyed knowing Jessica for the 2.5 years she lived in our home. She was so cheerful and upbeat and when Hugh had two surgeries in one year - she would come upstairs and check on him. She had great compassion for those with health problems. One night my daughter and her 2 infants were staying with us. They were sleeping in the basement, but when the baby woke up, Leslie brought her upstairs to nurse. The oldest child, age 15 months began to cry and Leslie heard Jessica go into his room and softly talk, sing and pat him. He was soon fast asleep. She was a queen in our eyes! We will miss her also. May your family be blessed with the comfort of the Holy Ghost. Love - Ann & Hugh Horton

My mommy and Jessica were good friends. My mom named me after her best friend in college, Jessica. I spell my name with a Y instead of a J but I just wanted to let the family know that they are in my prayers and so is Jessica.

I am at a loss for words ( not usual for me). The loss of a child is the hardest thing a parent can experience. We will continue to hold all the family up in prayer. Although I cannot be there physically, I will be there in my thoughts and prayers. I am very thankful that Mamie can come out. Even in our sorrow God is good all the time. Hold to His promises and perfect plan for our lives.
Love you all,
June, Bob, Heather, Ryan, and Elizabeth

In the years we knew Jessica, she always added a shining light to the Single Adult Ward. While our hearts are saddened at this time, we find peace and comfort in knowing the love of our Heavenly Father and the Plan of Salvation. Jessica will be remembered for her laughter, music, and smiling example. God bless.

I just wanted to let Aimee and her family know how sad I am to hear of Jessica's passing. I believe I met Jessica once, but didn't know her well. However, while roommates with Aimee in Boston, I would hear many good things about her, and knew that she was very loved by her sister. I can't even imagine this loss to Aimee and the rest of the Biada family.

My prayers are with you,
Missi Bunker

To the Biada family,
I just want to tell you how sorry I am to hear of the passing of Jessica.
Jessica and I met through e-mail a few months ago.
We were both part of a Yahoo support group for people with GP.
I wanted to know if there was anyone in the group that lived in SL. She responded to my question and we had been e-mailing each other ever since. I talked to her last on Sept 11th. I went on vacation and when I came back I sent her a picture with a note. She never replied and I have wondered if she was okay. I was looking through the paper this morning which I never really do much of and turned the page and saw a picture of a beautiful young woman with a beautiful smile. The picture stood out from all the others. I looked up and saw the name Jessica Biada. Instantly I knew that was my friend Jess. I was heart broken.
I wanted the chance to get to meet her soon. I really enjoyed our e-mails. She told me she was looking forward to her condo stay in PC over UEA while I was telling her of my plans for my vacation.
I am surely going to miss talking to her. Even though I did not meet her personally I did consider her a friend and am very sad to not be able to talk to her again.

May God take care of you at this time and may the angels watch over Jessica.

To the Biada Family: Jessica and I met while at USU and we instantly became friends. From that day we met, we were inseparable until we had to continue our journey. I moved to Texas and we didn't get to see each other much but the emails and telephone conversations were always a plus. I had a chance to see her for the last time in July before returning to Texas. We had a great time and we had plans for the following summer. I was really shocked to hear the news but knew that she was in a better place. I will remember Jessica with the wonderful times we had together. My prayers and thoughts are with each one of you.

I went to high school with Jessica. Although I didn't know her well, she always had a big smile on her face. I knew how much she loved music and was always willing to share that with others. My prayers are with her family at this time.
