Jasmine Mylene was my other daughter. Everyone knew she was my other princess. She protected me and I protected her. Her middle name was named in part of my name and her other Auntie. She´s an Angel still with us in spirit. I know she´s on assignment in this earth. She´ll never be forgotten. Love Auntie Marlene

Jasmine's light and gifts still live on. Our love for her continues. My children are part of the nursery ministry at church. Watching them with the babies reminded me of Jasmine babysitting them for the first time. Love you.

Jasmine was such a special beautiful soul. She was my children's very first babysitter and a great person. Absolutely loved her special spark and beauty. She was an amazing spirit. Beautiful inside and out. Loved her. Miss her.

Auntee loves you so much. I am comforted by the scripture that says in my father's house there are many mansions, if it were not so I would not have told you. While my heart is grieved more than anyone can ever imagine (as you were my daughter too), I'll see you again in the house, baby girl. Auntee Marlene

My heart is breaking for you Rose. I'm sending light and love everyday for you and your family. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know Jasmine brought so much joy to your life and the world ❤. This world is certainly a better place for her having been a part of it, even though it was entirely too short.
