"Sometimes when I gaze at the night sky, I feel at peace. I know somewhere out there you exist. Then if only for a moment I can close my eyes and pretend that you're here with me. Wiping the ice cold tears that have fallen down my face."

I couldn't find any words more fitting than the ones you once wrote to me. You will ALWAYS be in my thoughts Jess.

When dreaming I'm guided to another world

Time and time again

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep

'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape

From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change

It helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same

The only difference is

To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

So lets go there, lets go there,

Come on, lets go there

Lets ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me Higher?

To a place with golden streets

Sadly Missing You

April 4, 2005

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.

I am the diamond glint

on newly fallen snow.

I am the sunlight

on ripened grain.

I am the soft and gentle autumn rain

When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft, starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep.

Jessie Although I have not seen you in forever your name and memory will always be with me. you made me laugh when I didn't think there was anything funny anymore, You are a great person with a wonderful heart, and you will be sadly missed here on earth. You will never be forgotten. Take care Jessie we will see you again When we too are called home.

I thought I saw your face today,

in the sparkle of the morning sun.

And then I heard the angel say,

"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,

then laugh your hearty laugh.

And then I heard the angel say,

"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,

in the breeze that rustled by.

And then I heard the angel say,

"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,

in the crescent of the moon.

And then I heard the angel say,

"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,

for the stars so far above.

And then I heard the angel say,

"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,

and never find my way.

And then I heard the angel say,

"They're with you every day."

"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,

will forever be around,

reminding you of the love you shared,

and the peace they've finally found."

I KNEW JESSIE IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER PARENTS AND HER SON. YOU WILL BE MISSED JESSICA!!.

Jess and I became friends when we were around sixteen. From the time we met we were together almost all the time. Jessei had a lot of friends and everyone loved her at one point or another. We had some great moments, and some not so great ones. We lost touch, and touched base (like a hundred times). We lived together, loved together, laughed and cried together. It is sad that after so many years of being so close we drifted apart. I guess the reasons don't really matter, I miss her. I miss her eyes, and her smile. I miss the quirky things she did, and even how mad she got if someone shook her soda at the grocery store. I miss everything. I guess I didn't worry about working out our problems, because we had time. I wish I hadn't wasted so much of it. I know that Jess is in a better place now. Remember, when you feel the sun shining down on you, know that Jessei is smiling and saying hello. Beautiful as always, and happy.

Jessei will always be in my thoughts. I remember when we were little playing together at uncle Joes and aunt Virginias house in pownal, what good times Travis, Jessei and I had, if only we could go back to being so carefree. There was always something special about Jessei and i will never forget what a great person she was to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family, especially Trenor your mom had a big heart and I know she will be watching over you.

With deepest sympathy, Heather Buck

Jess I wish I could have expressed to you all the ways you helped me during one of the hardest times of my life. You were only my sister's friend, but you took the time to become a sister to me. You would walk through the door and only your smile would make my day because I knew that smile meant something special. It meant you cared about me and what I was going through. You and Sam made my days special by planning our little outings and roadtrips. Jess you will always be remembered as my Big sister.

Lots of Love Always!

Jess and I have been bestfriends for many years, it was rocky at times and we would lose each other every so often but would always get back what we had. I can honestly say that the most memorable memories I have of things I have done in my life were with Jess, we have done so many things together, at one point in our lives our main goal in life was going to concerts, we would see that someone we liked was playing and we would just jump in the car and go, no matter how far or near and every single time was quite the adventure!! I have so many Jess and I stories and will always cherish them for the rest of my life.She truly had a big heart and I will always love her and never let her be forgotten. She was always there for me unconditionally and I will never forget that. Jess I hope you are finally at peace with yourself and I love you, always have, I will see you again someday

I wish to send my thoughts and prayers to all the family,even though Jesse and I lost touch for a number of years I often thought about the many years we spent living next door to each other, growing up together,we learned alot

in those years and I am sorry that we will never have the chance to

rekindle that friendship which meant so much as children.

I just wanted to add a picture I took of Jessei when we went to Maine in 1998. She looks beautiful.

Jessei was my best friend. We definitely had our ups and downs, but we always bounced back and our friendship just got stronger and stronger. I have so many good memories of mine and Jessei's adventures that I wouldn't know where to start. Jessei was the kind of friend that I had always pictured growing old with. Jess had a large part in making me the person I am today, which turned out to be a really good person. She was the best friend that I ever had and she was so strong. Whether we were vacationing, shopping, camping, watching movies, re-making ourselves, no matter what we were doing- Jessei made it fun. It's been a long hard road and I don't know what I am going to do without her in my life. I remember when her dad got the old Jeep and me and Jess would take it out into the fields on Carpenter Hill. I remember looking over at her while we were flying through the field as fast as that jeep would go, bouncing all over the place- I remember how free and happy Jessei looked at that moment. I will never forget it. I remember camping at the cabin. Jess and I would go up during the day, before everyone got there to camp and plot how we were going to scare everyone with the stories of "Uncle Andy" Jessei and Loni's mythical uncle that lived on the mountain and was hungry for young campers, and how we would scare them that night. Stories of "Uncle Andy" of Carpenter Hill still haunt the town. Jessei was a sister to me. I truly feel that a part of me went with her. I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life. I do know that she went knowing how much I really do love her and always will.
