Obituary
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (AP) - A 12-year-old Southern California girl who started a blog and a Facebook page to raise awareness about child cancer has died of a brain tumor.
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed in March. Her family says her 10-month battle with cancer ended Thursday.
The Orange County Register reports (http://bit.ly/yJwyF3) that Jessica was mourned by tens of thousands of people on Facebook.
Jessica began her blog after she became sick, with posts that described her feelings and urged readers to pray for children with cancer.
The seventh-grader always signed off with the acronym "NEGU" (NEE'-goo), short for "never ever give up." Jessica and her father, Erik Rees, also started a foundation to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

I know it's been some time, but every time I'm met with a challenge I tell myself to NEGU, for Jessie, she would have loved to do this. I am young, still in school. I learned years after she became an angle. I learned of Jessie when I was 11, while in OC, Calif. unlike my siblings, her story stuck with me, I am forever grateful for her story, because now I know how difficult life is, but no matter what, you'll get through it, NEGU. I always think of her on birthdays, D-days, and Heaven Days....

I was an as avid follower of Jessie’s. I began with the early posts. I read every post! She was an amazing kid. I looked up her page because I am at CHOC and see her name at the lab. It brings me such Joy. I really loved her. I cant believe it’s been 10 years.

Thinking of you on your 21st. birthday.
Who is better to spend it with than our Lord Jesus Christ?
Currently on Earth, there is a bad sickness called the Corona Virus, which has made it necessary for people in all countries to stay away from each other, to prevent spreading.
But, it has actually caused families to spend more time together, and even attend church via their computers. People are beginning to remember to love one another again, and to worship...
