Dear Jessica,

I can't help but think about you today and how much I love you and miss you. Thanksgiving 2007 was the last time I ever saw you before you passed away in December. My memories of you are always strong on this holiday and this will make three that I have not spent with you. I really wish you were here to celebrate with your family. I know how much you loved the holidays. I miss your pretty smile and your giggles. I will always remember you. Rest in peace sweet niece.

Much love,
Your Aunt Bonnie

Dearest Jessica,

You have really been on my mind this week. You're coming in strong today because this is your birthday. You would have been 30 years old! I wish so much that we could be celebrating with you today. It sadly makes me realize just how long you've been gone. I want you to know how much I love you and miss you. You will always be a part of my precious memories, and will always live in my heart. Rest in peace sweet niece.

The last time I saw you was on Thanksgiving 2007. Here it is already Thanksgiving 2009. You were such a bright spot at our family holiday gatherings. Next month will make two years since you've been gone. It seems so strange. I thought so much about you today and said a prayer. I love you and miss you and always will.

As we arrive at our 10 year high school reunion, I can't believe that you will not be there. YOU made Ed White history when we graduated. I saw the foundation your mom created and I was deeply touched. We will honor you at the reunion somehow, someway.

Helen, I was so saddened when I learned of Jessica's passing in yesterdays memorials section of the newspaper. I will always remember Jessica and her determination!

Merry Christmas, Jessica! Isn't it wonderful that you will get to celebrate the birthday of our Lord with Jesus Himself again this year and every year in the future. What a birthday party it must be! Will you tell Tracy that I love her more than words can say and I miss her so much. I visualize you and Tracy just enjoying one another's company again with Tracy catching you up on all the news about the neighborhood. You are missed during this holiday season and always.

Precious Jessica,
This past Thanksgiving holiday was especially difficult for me, as I realized that a year ago on Thanksgiving was the very last time I saw you alive. I still remember how you hugged me and told me you loved me as you left Grandma's house that night. Grandma passed away in September and is now with you. I also realize that the first anniversary of your passing is coming up on December 19th. I can't believe that a year has already gone by. So much has changed. Words cannot express how much I miss you and love you--especially at this time knowing how much you loved the holidays. You are often in my thoughts. When I look at your pictures, I see your beautiful smile and remember the good times. I always will. Rest in peace, dear angel.
With much love,
Aunt Bonnie

My family and I are deeply saddened to learn of Jessica's passing. We remember her vibrancy and determination to excel past any barrier. We especially remember the pride we felt when she graduated from high school. According to Hebrews 12:1, we are surrounded by a "cloud of witnesses" encouraging us to excel and achieve. I choose to believe that Jessica is one of those.

To the Green family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I went to school and graduated with Jessica, even had a few classes with her. I learned of her passing from Brandy the other night and couldn't believe what I was hearing. She was such a vibrant soul and always brought a smile and joy to the room she was in. She will be greatly missed.

Helen-

My mom told me the sad news just yesterday. I'm sorry that I did not know sooner, otherwise I would have been there every step of the way. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and the family. Mom and I had dinner last night, and most of the conversation was of Jessi-Cat (as mom lovingly nicknamed her) and how her smile would light up the room. She will be greatly missed! If you ever need anything, please never hesitate to call or write. Much love and prayers,
~Brandy G.

February 10, 2008

Jessica, saying you will be missed is an understatement. I missed you the moment I heard the news. And I am missing you still as I sign this book.
I will miss your prescence, your gentle nature and your beautiful smile. I focus on your smile because that's what you were always doing everytime we met. Your smile was sincere and oh so innocent. Your smile was warm and caring and it reminded me of a child of God. Your smile was infectious because one could not help but to also smile when they were in your prescence.
Despite your many challenges you were always smiling.
Then I thought, your mom must have made you life very special and full of love. I could tell you were a very happy person for it showed in your face; it showed in your beautful smile.
You will definitely be missed.

JESSICA, I want to thank you for the gift of your presence in my life and in my family's life. As a mother of child with autism I have also traveled the journey you and your mom have traveled. I am fortunate to have been a witness to your life and your relationship with Helen. I want you to know that Helen, has inspired me to continue to advocate, continue to persevere in providing opportunities for our daughter. To continue to educate and promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in our communities. To continue to seek for ways to heal my child and enjoy life in the same way the rest of us are able to, but take for granted. Your mom, is such an inspiration her dedication and love for you guided her desire to reach out to others, to put you and others affected by ASD above self. It is so beautiful the impact you have had in the life of so many people. When I look back in my life and my journey, your journey, your mom's journey; I reflect about the essence of God, his infinite love,unconditional love, unselfish infinite care for us. I feel fortunate to have been able to known you and Helen; because it has reassured me that we all have the potential to love in the same way as God Loves Us. I would like to dedicate this short poem to the gift I have received.
"Beautiful the earth around her. Peaceful the sky above. Harmony and joy surround her, gentle is a mother's love."
In the midst of all the challenges, true love will carry us through.
With Love, Trust and Care
Marie

January 24, 2008

Helen,

You embraced a miracle of God and nurtured her into a beautiful person. You were courageous in all you fought for, for Jessie's sake, and Jessie was an amazing person because she had you there to help her. She was given many opportunities to not only do so many things but also influence many people. You were there for her each step of the way to see her have those opportunties. Jessie touched many lives. Those that never met Jess and those that did not take the opportunity to engage in a friendship with Jessie, to them I say they missed out on a treasure trove of a relationship. I know it is difficult to understand why things happen, but ask God to give you His peace about Jess's homegoing. In the interim, Clayton and I will keep you in our prayers.

Bryan,

The role you played in Jessie's life was important. You were her big brother. You were there for her and your mom. I remember our high school graduation party when you got up to make a speech about how your mom was an awesome person and how she spent so much time with Jess and raised her to the extraordinary person she became. We will also keep you in our prayers.

Bethany North

January 22, 2008

It has been one month since Jessica's passing, and we miss her as if it was yesterday.
Jessica, This is to you:
"The Lord Bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you Peace."
Numbers 6:24-26 (the blessing of the children.)
Till we meet again.
Love, Bethany

Jessica, I miss you. I think about you constantly, but I know you are in a better place.

The Lord has sent us angels,
Angels from above.
And He strengthened all these angels,
And He gave them so much love.

And He blessed us with one called Jessica
Who saw the beauty of the world.
And with a message of love and a hymn of praise,
She rung forth a new journey and was a beacon of rays-
Her smile ever contagious
And her heart so bright and true,

I will cherish all her knowledge and
She will remain an inspiration in all that I do.

This is very difficult for me to write and we know our words cannot take away your sense of loss; however, I will start out with a quote in remembrance of the beautiful life of Jessica Green.

Marcel Proust said, "Memories nourish the heart and grief abates." Jessica's love will always radiate in our hearts and her light will shine in the lives of those she touched.

With sympathy and hope.

Helen and family,
On behalf of myself and FCCJ softball you have our deepest condolonces on the passing of Jessica. She will always have a place in my memories, particularly of softball camp. You have my deepest admiration for your courage in letting her blossom and grow, play softball and do all of the things that all of the other kids were doing. I think you helped create a wonderful life for her and I am humbled at her accomplishments. While I get to deal with the "elite" athletes and the finest at what they do, Jessica showed what heart and courage are and what true accomplishments were. As a coach I can only hope to get out of my softball players what you got out of Jessica.

Nicole Jordan

January 16, 2008

I miss you Jess! I miss your contagious laughter, and I wish I could hear it now, as I desperately need it throughout my day. I love you. I still haven't fully grasped that yo are gone; that I can't call you on the phone to talk with you and see how bowling went, or if you wanna do a sleepover. I'm sorry I was so late signing this. I love you; a picture of you is going up in my classroom; I want people to know about you and how wonderful and strong you were. I can't wait to see you again. This is what I know about Jessica:

Jessica had a million obstacles to overcome; however, she was determined to live her life to the fullest. And she did. Jessica never gave up; she persevered, and she was still able to show us a million happy smiles.
Amongst all of the confusion, joy remained; and it was a radiant joy.
She filled us all with encouragement, hope, and faith.
Jessica has showed us all that anything is possible. Her philosophy on life was, “whether you have a disability or not, you should never let your dreams die. You should keep your dreams alive by believing in yourself”.
We were blessed and honored to have her for the time that we did.
She will continue to dwell within our hearts; her place will not be removed, replaced, misplaced, or forgotten.
Jessica shined forth with the substance of simplicity and love.
Although there were dark days, Jessica’s soul allowed for hope. That soul encompassed the ability to love, to give, and to hope for a new day.
Jessica was a beautiful human being who touched all of our hearts, and she will be greatly missed.

Every time we said goodbye, I received a sincere, "thank you " and "I love you." Jessica is at peace and it always helps me to remember, "to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord." With loving kindness, all my love and prayers to you.

Dear Helen,
Jessica will always remain very dear to us all. She was so excited to come to our office and she had so much hope to finally getting better. I was fortunate to always see her at her best. Blessings to you and your family.

Heaven has a new angel, her name is Jessica. While we will miss her, we should also remember to celebrate her life. Her life was forever involved in helping others, giving of herself in multiple volunteer efforts, in nurturing God's animals and her love of nature. Let us never forget what Jessica did with her life and all those she touched.

I am truly sorry for your lose of Jessica. Jessica has a beautiful home in heaven with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Where she will be for all eternity. I hope her family can find peace of heart and mind knowing this. Jessica was a gift from God. God bless you and keep you.

Jessica's light which shined with such delight,
Has simply moved to another site;
For if you look up in the sky at night,
You'll see a new star, oh so bright;
It's gleaming presence high above,
Is the eternal light of His special love;
God placed her star where t'will be seen,
The Heav'nly New Home of Jessica Green.

To Relatives and Friends,

Your expressions of sympathy and condolences received following Jessica's passing are extremely appreciated. Your support and willingness to help my family and me in so many ways has made it possible for us to move forward despite the emotional trauma felt by all.

We know we are going to continue to miss Jessica's presence because she was so special to us and had a special place in all our hearts. In the coming days and weeks, I hope to see each of you and express my gratitude personally.

Thank you again and God bless each of you. Be well.

Sincerely,

Helen Green and family

Helen and Brian,
Our deepest sympathies are with you at this time. Sean and I loved Jessica very much. She was our adopted niece and cousin. We will never forget all the good times we had at the bowling alley and the many lunches and dinners we had together. I can still see me chasing her around the bowling alley and telling those boys how to bowl. God wil reward you,Helen, for all you did for her to help her lead as normal a life as possible. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Dear Green Family,
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was very sad to hear of Jessica's passing, I have so many childhood memories of her and I playing in the neighborhood. I remember one time, helping her with her homework and getting in trouble for giving her the answers because we just wanted to go play. She was a very special person, I will never forget her.

Dear Helen and Family,
We were saddened to read of Jessica's passing. We will surely miss seeing her ride her bike by the house and waving and smiling--speaking to each of us.
We have watched her grow up along with our kids (she and Adam were just days apart in age)and she always found time to talk with Cole even though he is so much younger.
Helen, you have been the ultimate Mom and I envy your character. You provided her with love and guidance and molded her into a terrific person.
I pray that God gives you all peace and comfort to go along with your precious memories.

Jerry, I want you to know just how heavy my heart was when I read about Jessica's passing. I remember when we were all working together and Jessica was born. It seems like it was yesterday. May God comfort you and the rest of the family at this sad time. Keep the good memories close and know that you will see her again some day. If there is anything I can help you with just give me a call.
God Bless you, Bud. Deb

Dear Green Family,

We send our condolences as we recall very pleasant memories while living as neighbors. Your efforts along with those of many others made it a safe place for each of our children. Jessica's bike patrol was a symbol of that safe place. God bless you.
