Oh Jessica, the spark that initiated my pursuit of experiences. Sweet Jessica. I miss you every day but relish the memory of your spirit that lives on as I watch over your beautiful children as I think you would want me to do as the time passes by.
Today is another one of those random days, in this case it is this day, Thursday May 12, 2022, the sky is blue and I still radiate my love to you.

Thinking of you constantly as the anniversary of your passing nears. I pray that you are at peace. I both feel your presence and desperately ache at the lack of it. I will never stop wishing you were still with us.
I love you, today and always.

I love and miss you so much...Christmas without you is hard. This makes me think of you and losing you: It was novembering hard outside; the dark air sang with the dwindle of the year, the sharpening of it to [the] goneness that was drawing near.
We love you,
Mom, Dad & the kids

My love for you is like a tattoo
Ink on a pin, under my skin
Always with me, visible
My grief for you is like a brand
Welts on my heart
Raised scars on my hand
They tell me my grief should be a bit part
That it's a weak part
Time to make a new start
Impossible. You are my teacher
I am your apprentice
Teach me how to go on without you
How to pull through
You are ink on a pin
A tattoo on my heart
As you have always been
I love you always
Mom

My sweet baby...I can't begin to tell you how much I love and miss you. Every year of my life that goes on without you, every birthday I reach, I miss you more.
You deserve to be here, to mother your children with your limitless love. They miss you so much, as your dad and I do.
The children are doing well, but miss their mom so much. Happy Mother's Day in Heaven, baby girl. Every day, I wish you were, I wish you had escaped with us.
I love you baby girl, now and always. Peace to you. Love from the kids and your very special sister, who mothers your children beautifully and with so much love in your absence. She does so well, but her heart is broken without you, too. Much love and respect to her husband, who fathers them. Our hearts are heavy here on Earth, though we know you are at peace in Heaven. We love you.
Love,
Mommy

Jess, my baby...
I'm sure you know how well your children are doing. Nathan made honor roll, Sam almost. She got two awards from school. She loves to ice skate and play hockey. They are doing well with lots of love from your sister. They are rapidly becoming sourdoughs, leaving their cheechako-ness behind. We all love you and miss you. Much love from the wild northland.

In honor of Jessica and her dad on Valentine's Day. We miss you so much, baby.
Father and Daughter
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are,
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream...
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star.
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever.
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed,
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head.
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two,
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you.
Trust your intuition
It's just like goin' fishin' -
You cast your line and hope you get a bite.
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place.
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night.
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever.
You know how much your dad loves you, my sweet. Work from your place to help the world and the family have peace. We wish you peace and blessed respite from the travails of this life. We know you are achieving so much, we feel it, every minute. Miss you. Kisses and hugs to heaven, with our tears. Your children are safe and happy.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Nathan,Samantha and Cori

In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal.
Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see.
When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me.
I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung.
Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see.
When there was no strings to play, you played to me.
In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood.
Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old.
When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me.
In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed.
When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold.
When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me.
As I dream of you.
Mom

Something akin to a maiden strayed
from this marriage of song and string,
glowing radiant through veils of spring; inside my ear a bed she laid.
And there she slept. Her dream was my domain: the trees which enchanted me; vistas vast and nearly touchable; meadows of a vernal cast and every wondrous joy my heart could claim.
She dreamed the world. Singing God, how made you that primordial repose so sound she never felt a need to waken? Upon arising she fell straight to dream.
Where is her death? O, will you yet discover her theme before your song is eclipsed forever?
Abandoning me, where does she go? Something akin to a maid.
Jessica, we love you.

THE FINAL RIDE
The act of dying
is like hitch-hiking
into a strange town
late at night
where it is cold
and raining,
and you are alone
again.
Suddenly
all the street lamps
go out
and everything
becomes dark,
so dark
that even the buildings
are afraid
of one another.
I miss you so much -

In my younger days
This wouldn't have been so hard
I would've just shrugged it off
But now it's tough
I'm not so rough
I've got a little ways to go
It's not over yet, I know
But it feels
Not so far away
In my younger days
This still would've knocked me down
But I would've just bounced right back, you know
Now I'm a statistic
But I'm not fatalistic
I'm not yet resigned to fate
And I'm not gonna be ruled by hate
But it's strong
And it's filling up my days
In my younger days
I would've just chalked it up
As part of my ongoing education
But I've had enough
Been through some stuff
And I don't need any more misery
To teach me what I should be
I just need you back

Hi, baby girl...
As this fourth anniversary approaches, I am still so sad and still miss you so much. I would never have thought this kind of pain was possible before you left us. I miss everything about you...the way your vanilla perfume always lingered after you had left the room, your voice, your laugh..all of it. I miss you. Three little words cannot adequately explain the pain in our hearts.
There is much joy in your children, who are so like you and who are finally beginning to heal a bit. They are wonderful, sweet, funny and kind. We adore them.
There is also joy in knowing that you are in a better place and are guarding over your children, who need you. They have come to remember you through us and we are so grateful for them. Thank you for the gift of these children.
This is a time of grief and Thanksgiving and we offer them both up to the Lord.
Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.
I love you,
Mom

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through
Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame
It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there
Such a short time you were and such a long time you've been gone...I love you so much --- Mom

Dear sweet Jessica...OMG...(just in case your outta touch - that means Oh My Gosh)...October is approaching and your birthday. You were taken away from us, so we can't have a party...but know that we are thinking of you, missing you and loving you! Your children are in good hands right now, going to school as they should be, being taken care of, and loved. They need nurturing, guidance and learn how to respect. They are being taught what has been lost since you were taken away. Keep watching over your Mom and Dad, and your children. They need you...even if you make your appearance know by opening your locket, or a butterfly following the moving van...doens't matter how, but they know and see that you are there. We love and miss you very much.

Sweet Child of Mine,
Your Nana will be coming to you soon. I hope that you and Grandpa will be there to meet her in the bright light of heaven. To have her birthday girl there would give her much peace.
Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you, miss you intensely, feel the pain of your loss and pray for you. Please pray for us to have strength.
Your children are as well as can be expected. We are making progress with them. They are wonderful, a joy to be with. We love them so very, very much and are doing our best by them. Slow progress, but slow and steady is the way to go. We are doing what you want us to do, and we love doing it. Thank you for leaving these two wonderful gifts to us. The look (and act) a lot like you, which brings us solace, even if it's an occasional misbehavior. They are our joys.
I love you, my child.

Jessica and Drew
We always saw a likeness between Jessica and Drew Barrymore, in looks, humor and spirit. Watching Drew brings us a strange connection to our lost Jessica. Watch Drew and you will catch a glimpse of Jessica, I kid you not. We no longer have Jessica but through Drew we can see how she may have grown in life. Rejoice in the spirit of Drew, as she is as close to Jessica as we can get in this world.

HYMN TO HER
Let me inside you,
Into your room
I've heard it's lined
With the things you don't show
Lay me beside you,
Down on the floor
I've been your lover,
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter,
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother,
When everything's gone
And she will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
Keep beckoning to me,
From behind that closed door
The maid and the mother,
And the crone that's grown old
I hear your voice,
Coming out of that hole
I listen to you,
And I want some more
I listen to you,
And I want some more
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
Let me inside you,
Into your room
I've heard it's lined
With the things you don't show
Lay me beside you,
Down on the floor
I've been your lover,
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter,
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother,
When everything's gone
And she will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
And she will always carry on
Something is lost,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
I love you, daughter.

It is one of the mysteries of our nature that a man or a woman, all unprepared, can receive a thunder-stroke like the notification of a beloved's death and live. There is but one reasonable explanation of it. The intellect is stunned by the shock and but gropingly gathers the meaning of the words. The power to realize their full import is mercifully lacking.

I know your leaving was not your choice
We were too far away to hear the pain in your voice
Your pained and frightened cries
As you died
Alone
Without us by your side
I imagine them in my head
The tears of fright, the moans of pain
Knowing we would never see you as you again
We take comfort that someday justice will be done
As in the east rises the sun
It is so hard to wait
Until it is, the pain will not truly abate
We understand that you are in a better place
Dressed in white silk and frothy lace
You are our angel
As you were from your cradle
Our baby girl
So full of promise
Now adorned with heavenly pearls
Your heavenly robes unfurled
Your children and sister love and miss you
As do we, too
But we have patience and perseverance
To see this through
Inspired, as we are, by your Inner brilliance.
God's will shall be done
For you and your children
And something will be begun
We promise you, our baby
Our wonderful beauty.
Requiescat in Pace, our child
Until we meet again

Dear Jessica: I carry your picture inside a locket with me at all times, it is in my cup holder in the car, and there are days that you are very noisy. And on your birthday October 12th I was on my way back from Dallas, and you certainly were noisy. I talked to you and told you that I knew it is your birthday, and told you how much we missed and loved you. You finally settled down and got quiet again. Keep watching over us, and sending signals that you are there. Your parents are doing OK. The struggle everyday to cope with losing you. They channel their grief in the right places to help others, I admire what they do and how persistant they are. They miss you so much! Love Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jack

Sweetheart,
I love you so much and miss you so much. Your children are with me and they are thriving. They have so much of you in them, they simply glow from the inside out. They are wonderful and sweet and I shall miss them, as I miss you, when their vacation is over. I wish you were only on an extended vacation and I could look forward to seeing you again - but then, maybe you are, on the ultimate spiritual vacation, safe in the Lord's arms.
I love you, baby girl, best friend, wonderful, loving mother...we all miss you.
Love,
Mom

It would have been better to let her leave in peace
----------------------------------
Shes getting older
Yeah, shes getting wise
But a change has changed the girl
Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother
So she'll do the best she can
But what about the other
What about the man
Resignation
In her sighs
Is a sorry indication
Of how time
Can brutalise
Take away the hope
And the will will follow
Take away the faith
And goodbye tomorrow
She had her dreams too
But how can she pursue
Her ambitions, be they great or small
You took her wings and flew
But remember when you're through
Your rise was due
To somebody else's fall
When the hard parts over
And the kids are almost grown
You'll be their big hero
Whenever you make it home
Shower them with presents
Things she could never buy
Delight them with your stories
About the great big, great big world outside
But dig -
Its cold to hurt a woman
Chill factor to the bone

I love you so much and miss you so much. Holidays like Memorial Day have taken on a new meaning - who is interested in potato salad and baseball when there is a grave to tend and grief to deal with?
I love you, I miss you, I wish you were here, with us and your beautiful, sweet, intelligent children.
Happy Mother's Day, as well. Maybe the poet had it wrong...instead of April, May is the cruelest month.
All my love,

Today I am missing you so much that I think I can't go on. I know you are with God. I will continue to help Leonard and Debbie try to get justice for what happened to you. I will do whatever I can to help them and to make sure your children are safe.
We all love and miss you.

Without You
Without you
I feel like a
George Harrison song
Without you
My feet are encased
in cement
I cannot move
I cannot think
Without you
Every conversation
Turns to you
Your friends call
They are a comfort
They call seeking comfort
I don't think you knew at all
How well you were loved
And by so many
Without you
There is no peace
There is no quiet
From the memories in my head
Remembering the sounds
My body made
When we were told you were dead
It was incredible that you
So full of life and love
Unbelievable that you were gone
Without you
There is no more normal
There is no more peace
So I sit and wait
For justice, for dignity
Then I will finally know
That though I am
Without you
In this life
You are with me
In my heart
And I will have peace
And I will no longer be
Without you

They asked me for a poem
But there is something
Now lacking in my soul
I can't write as I did before
Your loss has been too terrible
The injustice has been too great
I am stripped of words
We are left
Alone
Together
With our heavy sighs
And our broken hearts

Dear Jessica: As we left church this evening, after singing Silent Night, Holy Night....and lit each other's candle, I thought of you and prayed for you. You are missed so very much, and on this Eve of the birth of Jesus Christ...we pray that you are resting easy in the arms of our Lord, and that your parents can find some peace in the new year. We love you and miss you! Love, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jack.

Dearest Jessica,
I was deeply saddened when I heard that you had to leave, but I know you are not gone. You are still with all of us whose lives you touched. You are in our memories, in our hearts, in our dreams.
You are our Dream Weaver. From your ethereal realm, you remind us of all that is good. For you the hurt, the pain is gone. Only the happiness is left. In time, with your help, our hurt and pain will join yours and we will be happy together in the dreams you have woven for us. You touched our lives and now you touch our souls.
For that I will be eternally grateful.
Merry Christmas
Your Cousin,
George

As this second anniversary approaches, know that we love you and that we are more dedicated than ever to you.
That was quite amazing the other night - I love you, baby girl, please know that and know that in my heart all wrongs have been righted.
If you're in a travelin' mood, come see us on Friday, we'll be there for you.
I love you and miss you so. You are free to go, but I also love having your arms around me. Stay in the light, but do visit from time to time - the children still love you so much. We are doing what you want, please know that, in our own clumsy way, wen are trying to carry out your wishes.
All my love,
Mom

Sweet baby J - things are a bit difficult at the moment, but your presence is always with us and things will be done the way you wish them to be.
I love you and miss you terribly. I cannot pick up a phone and talk to you and this horrible second anniversary is approaching - but we WILL endure.
Love,

Jessica, my sweet,
Happy 30th birthday. I love and miss you so much, your Dad and I are still not doing well, missing you so bad. The good news is we have the kids next week, so they can learn more about you. They miss you and your care.
I love you, my sweet, and I love your children and will always try my hardest to do the best for them, as I promised.
All my love,
Mom

Dearest Jessica...Hi, it is me Aunt Sandy. Guess what, your Mom and Dad have your babies, Samantha and Nathan for some well deserved time together. Your Mom and Dad are so excited, that they are able to spend time with "part of you", that they can hardly speak. I am so happy for them. Remember this little note is between you and I. I want you to know how much they love Samantha and Nathan, and I know that they will have a wonderful summer together. Rest easy Jess, they are in good hands as we know you are in the hands of the Lord. All is Well! AMEN

When she hears her child
has died
she goes to the kitchen,
fills the sink with
water and suds and
begins slowly
to wash the dishes.
Plate after plate, she
pulls them from the water,
washes them,
then lets them go.
She wishes she could remember
everything she's scrubbed
in the last thirty years--
baby bottles cleaned with
stiff brushes, spoons
and bowls and cast iron pots.It's like breathing now--
Inhale--wash. Exhale--rinse.
Only this grief is new
And not knowing
what to do with it,
she drops it
into the warm grey water.
But she already knows:
This is one well of dishes
that will never be emptied.
Wherever she goes
She will remember
all that she tried to wash away,
all that stained her--
the milk line in the glass,
the half eaten vegetables,
the scrathes, the childhood
boo-boos,the blood.
She cannot wash away
her dead child's blood
That is left to the autopsy
examiner,to the funeral
home.
She cannot wash away the blood
Nor can she hold her child
Ever again.
A plate crashes to the floor,
cutting her foot.
The blood, the blood.

Your message May 27, 2007
Tonight, sitting with Tammy, we had just been talking at last about your secret excursion with her to Jim Morrison's grave at Cimetière du Père-Lachaise in Paris later the same day you had taken her to le Palais de Versailles on the opposite side of the city... She told us about the huge throng of people who had gathered in the cemetary. She quickly figured out what you already knew - that it was the 20th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death, July 3, 1991, and wanted to be there among the action. Tammy had no idea what she was getting into, but you knew.... She said she a wonderful time with you and was glad that she had the opportunity to bond with you that day. We are grateful for that, too. As we talked, The Doors began playing "Touch Me" on the classic rock music channel we were listening to. The notation on the screen was that Morrison moved to Paris in '71, and died there July 3, 1971. Then "Hello, I Love You" was played.
We love you too, more than you can ever know. We love to notice these messages that clearly must come from you. They give us strength and bathe us in your warmth. Thank you so much for your call. We are always listening, call any time.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Dear Debbie & Len: As I read through this guest book, tears streaming down my face. I wish I could make your pain go away, no words, deeds or time can do that. Jessica is so very missed, I read your words in poems and letters written to her. I pray for our family everyday, that we may come to understand the reason for her having to leave us so soon. Know that we love you and Len and that we are here for you anytime.
Love your sister,
Sandy Robinson

I'm like that pathetic little lamp over there in the corner;
Rumpled discolored shade, replete with a couple of tears,
Worn finish, frayed cord.
But trying its very best to put forth a steady light,
All the while, ready to burst into flames at any moment.
I gotta get outta here.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
From Your Grateful Friends

Dreamer. Healer. Catalyst.
You loved not at all wisely.
A knight without armor -
Not even a scrap of steel
To shield your heart
Or hide the scars.
You left behind the enigma
Of your absence
And the sure knowledge
That I shall never meet your like.
If I could, for you,
I would believe
In heaven.

Dearest Jessica,
Twenty six years ago today you were joined in our family by your sister Corissa and you immediately became the consummate older sister, loving her, wanting to hold her, to protect her.
As Cori and you grew together, you became ever more careful of her, willing and able to fight off dragons of any sort for her. She returned your love and as you continued your growth, you became best friends as well as sisters. She misses you a great deal and holds your love in her heart.
She adores your children and they her, she made sure they had a very special Christmas, full of crafts, love and time spent together.
We all miss you so much, sometimes Cori misses you most of all. Let it be known that without you in our family, we are incomplete. Cori's big sister and her protections are gone from this earth, but I know you guard her from above. I love you both.
Mom

I knew Jessica from back in high school. Her, Marci and I were friends and bonded even more when we ended up pregnant all the same time with our first children.(due dates within days of each other.) She was a bright, happy girl full of life. We unfornetly lost contact when she left for KY. I have just found out about her untimely passing, and I myself was living in London at the time working in Cracker Barrel in London. I heard about the paticular situation on the news one night and they never said a name. I had no idea... and what a small world that such a close friend was living so close to me and I didnt even know. Please know that she will be missed, she touched a lot of peoples lives. My Prayers go out to the family... I am sorry for your loss.
