Jessica Marie "Lil' Jessi" Colihan

Hello my precious angel. It has been one year since you were taken from us so suddenly. You will never know how much I miss that beautiful smile and zest for life. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense why people have to go, but I know there is some reason behind it. God had a plan for you and it must be to look over us on earth. Please put your loving arms around your mother and Ken. I know you want them to move on but they are struggling. Tonight there is a dinner in your honor and I...

Hi sweet pea
I meant to write on your birthday but know that I was thinking about you. I am fortunate to get to see your beautiful face in pictures every day as Joe still has them up in his room. I truly miss your smile, laughter and your "bantering" with Joe :~) My heart breaks every time I hear "In the Arms of the Angels" and I hold your picture close to my heart as I am overwhelmed by tears. You are so missed baby girl.
I love you!

It's been awhile since I wrote but as I read these entries I wanted to share how I have handled the loss of those I loved. I handled it by spending each day thanking God for the moments I spent with my loved ones. I thank him for deeming me worthy to be a part of their lives, to be loved by them, to have laughed with them, to have shared great moments that shaped the person I am because of them. I tell myself it's okay to be angry and sad once in awhile because missing them is about me. ...

Thank you Lil Jess for continuing to talk to me and your Momma and to keep having fun with your friends who are here for the moment. I know we need approach each day with arms open wide and love in our hearts for those who are dear to us. I keep you in my heart and soul every day. I love you. Uncle Bryon

May God bless your family! I am only beginning to understand your pain. My brother, Nathan, who was born on January 13, 1987, passed away April 14th, and I am trying to learn how to cope with life without him. You will all be in my prayers!

Lil Jessi, My son & I have known you for at least 10 yrs. We last saw you when we came into paisanos ,the Monday after Christmas. Just like always we kidded and laughed. We miss you dearly. You are a special person. We did not find out of your passing till Jan.20th from Ed & Kay, when they caught up w/reading the newspaper and phoned us. After my son & I went to your memorial Mass on Feb.14th., I placed a rose and prayed by your grave at Calvary Cemetary.I know God has warmly received you in...

Jess,
Though I never really got the chance to get to know your daughter, the bond you two shared was obvious to anyone who saw you. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know there's nothing I can say that will bring any real comfort, but I want you to know that not a day goes by that I'm not praying for you and your family.

I seems so surreal that you have been gone over a month now. Your beautiful pictures remain on my son's wall as I suppose they always will. You were the love of his life, but you know that.
I want to thank your uncle for keeping your memory alive with this guest book.
We love and miss you!
Sabrina
