words can not express the pain in my heart for your loss. i wish i could give you all the strength that i have to help you make it thru each day. my energy - my strength . . . all go to you.

I did not know jessica but reading about her passing in the paper last Sunday touched me. I was diagnosed with cancer at 21. I am now 27 and cancer free. I thank god and take peace in knowing Jessica is with him. I participate in Relay For Life and this year Jessica will be my reason to Relay. We need to find a cure so more families will not have to lose a loved one and people will no longer have to hear the words "You have cancer."You are in my thoughts and prayers.

"St. Theresa,the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the Heavenly Garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore, and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more. Amen

Love you all - Barbara, Clay, Nicole and Christine

Jessica always had a sunny, happy persona. She and Jon worked very hard to make Sam an excellent dog, and it is a loss to us all that these two young people didn't get raise a family.

My most sincere condolences to all.

Dear Regina, Pete, Christa, Elena and Regina, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'll remember Jessica as a beautiful, intelligent and happy young woman.
