Jessica Johnson Obituary
early Wednesday morning, May 9, 2012. Jessica was born December 5, 1978, in Appleton, Wisconsin and became an Arizona resident in 1983. She worked most recently as a driver's license specialist at AZ Auto License after working at the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles. Her love of animals and her consideration for animal welfare was widely know. She helped to find homes for many animals, although this usually meant her home. She has a Rottweiler, Heaven; two French Mastiffs, Brielle and Leila; a Beagle, Barney; two Chihuahuas, Jazzy and Bella; and four assorted rescued cats, Misty, Magic, Powder, and Patches. Her fierce ability to love didn't stop with animals. All who knew her knew that Jessica was also the consummate Packer fan, with her vehicle covered with Packer "tattoos" and work desks full of Packer memorabilia. The significant Packer logo was also tattooed on one of her ankles. She is survived by her daughter, Aniah Michaella Johnson; her mother and father, Patti and David Johnson, her sister, Lainey Johnson and Lainey's partner Stephenie Ferguson. Jessica is also survived by; her Uncle Mike O'Mara and family, Uncle Ted and Aunt Mary Murray and family; Uncle Tom and Aunt Susan Hauke and family; Aunt Janet Roach and family, and all of the Schaller family cousins. She is preceded in death by her brother Chad Eric Johnson, her grandparents, Jim and Kathleen O'Mara, and Floyd and Vivian Johnson. A memorial mass will be celebrated at St. James Family Parish, 19640 North 35th Avenue, Glendale on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 3:00 P.M. and the family will receive friends from at St. James Family Parish prior to the mass. Contributions in memory of Jessica and in lieu of flowers may be made
to the Wells Fargo Account Number 3600188399 (titled Aniah's College Fund), This will help assure that Aniah will have a savings account to be used for her educational advancement.

Thinking of you on this day ?? ?? it still makes me feel sad that I wasn't able to share with you how crazy and hard this life is but to be strong and healthy in heart and mind. I wish I could of shown you and told you that because there is no reason good enough for you to not still be here enjoying life and your daughter. I know your in a much better place and that's the only thing that makes the sadness temporary. You are never forgotten. Happy Birthday Again Love Always

I'm Still Here
Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm every place
I'm Jessica Ann Johnson...

Jessie Ann, I miss you so much already! I wanted to just say out loud how much I LOVE YOU Hun. I can see it as plan as day the both of us riding down I-17 in that Mustang with the huge Nike symbol. Thinking about our past Hun brings me to a thousand funny stories and moments we shared and even to this day you bring a smile to my face just hearing your voice in my head say "bag" with your Wisconsin accent it always sounded like "Beg" to me.I just needed to say Thank you for giving me such nice memories and such a wonderfully beautiful and talented daughter and I will try my best to make you proud as a Father.
PS. Joe Montana was better than Farve lol. Monday Night Football will never be the same... And neither will we.Thank you for the memories. I will only do this for you "GO PACKERS"
there I said it.
Until we meet again just know I will always Love you!!!

Jessica, when I heard about your passing, all I could do was let tears fall down from my face. It's been awhile since I have seen you. But five years ago you turned into my second mom, when me & your daughter Aniah met through Tae Kwon Do. I am so glad we did, because I have memories of being with you to practically every weekend. You had the best personality & such a great sense of humor. I know your in a better place now. Watch over the family. Xoxo <3

Jessica,
I can't stop thinking about you and our last conversation. I am truly going to miss our talks and working with you. You coming to work and eating your fry bread and me trying to get you to eat more vegetables and fruits. One thing I can say is that you are an angle sent from heaven. I will forever miss you and will never forget you. My prayers are with Aniah, honey I just want you to know that your Mother never stopped talking about you and always wanted the best for you. For the Family just know that "Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Jessica,
No words can describe the way I feel. I will always cherish our continuous 18 year friendship. The memories we've shared are filled with so much laughter and nothing will ever be the same now. What am I supposed to do Jessica!?! Seriously!! With all selfishness I WANT YOU HERE and it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that I guess Heaven wanted and needed you more. Life was going in the right direction for you and the fam FINALLY--- WHY NOW!!! I guess I'll have settle with having to wait for answers when I meet you on the other side my best friend. I sure can't wait to meet Chad with you; cuddle with Chaquina, Dame, Jakkar and Lobo with you; do the tootsie roll dance (over and over and over) with you (lol). I promise that I will be here always for Aniah and for the fam. I have nothing but unconditional love for you and for my Johnson family. I will look forward to seeing you in my dreams at night. Thank you again for all the memories and the fun.
"My name is Jessica Johnson and I come from Wisconsin and the people that I meet when I walk down the street-- Waaant to know Whhhho I am Soooo I tell 'em --- My name is Jessica Johnson and I come from Wisconsin... hahahaha OH how I'm gonna miss that damn song!!"

Jessica,
Rest in peace my friend. I will miss you. I know we drifted apart when you moved back to Arizona from Colorado but when talking to you a couple months ago we were just laughing away at all the good memories we had .. oh my gosh did we have so many good times most fun I have had with anybody. It is hard to think that your gone and we will no longer be able talk and hang out. Your were a great loving person with a strong personality LOL. My deepest condolences to your family. May we meet again one day, Love you!

I was so sad to hear you were gone but may you rest in peace now. All I have thought of these last few days is how much trouble we all got into and how mad we made your mom. But at least we all have the good times to remember. I found some old pictures from back in the day I will have to share them one of these days. Good times...you will be missed. God Bless and to your daughter my deepest condolences.

Jessica, we miss you girl. It has been an honor just knowing you. Thanks for your help, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have the job I have now & would not have had the opportunity to get to know you. You were such a loving & loveable person, so caring and always willing to help someone else even if you didnt know them. We are thankful to you and for you. It seems like the good people always go too soon.
Young Aniah, you are loved by many because of the lives your mom touched in a positive way. Trust in God always & he will provide you peace & comfort. He is a God of love & a giver of Only Good gifts. You will always have her with you. It may not seem like it now, but time will ease the pain.
To the Johnson Family, May God comfort you in your loss. My heart felt condolences & prayers go out to you.
