I was in Girl Scouts with Jessica, and I will always remember her being such a sweet girl. Even when we were so young, she was always thoughtful of others. It makes me so sad to think about how the world and her family has just lost such a beautiful soul.
My most sincere condolences,
Meghan

To the Bowling Family...
I had Jessica in 5th grade at Humann Elementary. She stood out in her class. A serious young girl with a quiet sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed having her in class. I am so saddened by your loss. She left lasting impressions where she had been, and I wanted you all to know that. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful, gentle daughter Jessica.

I have a photo I have kept framed on my dresser from prom night in high school when Jessica and I and some other friends were dressed to the nines and headed out to have fun. I hope you can remember her in times like those, happy and healthy and fun.

My prayers are with you.
