When I think of Jessie I always think of her when she was in elementary school and used to come to our house to play with Jenna & Kate. One of their favorite games to play was restaurant, they would make up a menu and even had a cash register. I remember how much fun the three of them had and all the laughing and giggling that went on. It always made me so happy that they had so much fun together.
I miss Jessie and often think about her.

Patty and Keith, We just learned about Jessie. We are so sorry. I will always remember her as the exuberant little girl in our Brownie troop and good friend to Stephanie. She became a beautiful caring and smart young woman. She had the best smile in the world and outgoing personality. You fell in love with her as soon as you met her! Our sincere condolences, MaryAnn and Mike Mimnaugh

I remember you talking about Jessie in 1992 while we were on assignment in Spain. It was obvious she meant the world to you and your family. Over the years I have been charmed by seeing her smiling self on Facebook and knowing that you never took one minute for granted. Big hugs to you and yours at this delicate time.

I once heard a mother say a candle that burns extremely bright can not possibly burn nearly as long. Jessie's smile pure sunshine, her eyes twinkled like stars and we will always hold her close in heart. God be with all of you ALWAYS as you walk your journey back to in the place where Angels light the way. No words can tell you how much we love you and are we are with you always.

May God comfort and console you and your family during this difficult time. I pray you'll be blessed with peace and understanding even when our own will questions God's purpose for such a short life hear on earth. May Jessie be wrapped in God's eternal embrace for all of eternity and may your sorrow serve as a comfort to other's even though it's beyond our understanding. I only met Jessie once and i am filled with sorrow when i learned of her passing. My heartfelt prayers are with you all.

Keith, Patti and Aaron - I am so deeply sorry for your loss. This is so very, very painful. Jessie brought a happy spark, a special, very sincere warmth, to everyone. Her giggle-laugh, her sweet nature, and her constant smile were her selfless gifts to everyone. She put the twinkles in the stars. Jessie reminds me of Maya Angelou's "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Jessie was a bundle of joy and happiness and that's how she made others feel. Wherever she was, there was kindness and genuine warmth. My heart is breaking for all of you. Please accept my deepest condolences for this unimaginable loss.

Keith and Patty,
Sheryle and I are saddened to learn about Jessie's death and your family's loss. While we are a continent apart we have shared the bond of our children's heart disease and our work together on the documentary about the experiences of families living through a child's heart transplant. We only knew Jessie as a young child. She was a pioneer whose life blessed yours and who was blessed with a loving family.. Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this most difficult day,
Warmest regards,
Steve Shane and Sheryle Bolton

I am happy that she was Aaron's sister and that they loved each other and supported each other.

My heartfelt sympathy to Keith, Patti, and Aaron plus all other family members.

Thank you Jessie for allowing me in to your life. As I told you a couple of weeks ago you will always be in my heart.
