Jess-
I love and miss you so much. I can't believe that you have been gone almost 6 weeks. I don't know how I am going to get through the rest of my life without you My Sister. Please always remember that I will help to raise Sierra and Brody the best way that I can and will treat them like my own children. I will always remind and teach the kids about the wonderful person you were and on just how much you loved them. You will never be forgotten; I can promise you that much. I will be there for Sierra when she goes through the really big events in her life like getting married and having a baby and will also be there for Brody during his big events too! I will never even try to take your place, but I will do my best to be there for them almost as well as you would have been there. I really am having a hard time knowing that you are gone. I have a really hard time at night because either you would call me on your way to work or I would call you. We just had that understanding. Also, I am going to miss talking to you at work and goofing off together. You are deeply missed by so many and I wish so very much that things were different. I love you so much and will miss having you here as My Sister. No one can ever take your place or even come close. I really miss you more and more everyday. Cadence asks about you everyday and I continue and plan on teaching her everything about her "Auntie Jess". Gavin did not have the pleasure of knowing just how much fun and loving you were, but I am so grateful that he at least got to meet you! Always remember that we all miss you so much, but I now realize that GOD thougt that you were ready to go home to him. He must have needed a young and wonderful Angel like you. I also know that you are doing well because you are up there with a lot of our wonderful family. Please tell all of them that I miss them too and to say hi to them for me. I love and miss you so much! Please help all of us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you!
Love,
Your Little Sister Erica

JESS, I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I ENJOYED OUR FRIENDSHIP. I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU AS THE LITTLE SISTER THAT I NEVER HAD. YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD EVER BRING A SMILE TO MY FACE WHEN THE DAY WAS NOT GOING SMOOTHLY. YOUR SMILE AND YOUR WIT WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN SO THAT I CAN TELL YOU FACE TO FACE HOW MUCH YOU MEANT TO ME.

To Jess's family/friends,
Jess will be truly misssed. We have a lot of funny memories working together at St.Luke's. When I remember her, I remember her smile and her laugh, always making a joke. I also remember her always speaking of her children. My prayers go out to them. She loves you sooo much.

Jess will be missed terribly. My deepest sympathies go out to her whole family. I grew up with Jess as a child and a young adult, we graduated together through all of our schooling, always laughing and having a good time. I will always have the memories. As adults we went our separate ways but I thought of her often. I will always cherish knowing her and you her family. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

I'm greatly saddened by this terrible loss. Jess was a classmate and friend. She always had a way of making you laugh and putting a smile on your face. When you graduate you tend to go your separate ways and if your lucky you run into those great friends again someday. You never expect to hear of such a loss at our young age. I guess if we can learn anything from Jess, it is not to take life, family, and friends for granted because in the blink of an eye it can be gone. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and more importantly her children. With deepest sympathy.

I don't really know where to start. I am having a real hard time so far away from everyone. I am there with you all-just not there in person. I don't understand why this had to happen or turn out like this and I never got to say goodbye. One of my best friends for so long and my only sister-in-law and I just am having such a hard time with this. I love you Jess and I pray that we all see some kind of justice in this tragedy. Jean, Mark, Erica, Jay, Cadence & Gavin(who I have not even got to meet yet), Sierra, Brody, and last but not least-DAVE. My heartbroken and lost brother. My heart just breaks. Times like these- I wish I wasn't so far away. I love you guys!!!!! If any of you need me/anything- I am just a call away. Dave knows the number. Even if it is to cry- please know I am here for all of you. I remember having lunch break with Jess when we worked at mayfair and her sending Dave to get mashed potatoes and gravy at 2am when she was pregnant with Sierra. When Jess and Dave brought Domino in to Ashby's at Southridge to show me the puppy she bought Dave. How we used to give the kids tubbies together and went cruising in highschool. We need to remember all those good memories we have because that is what she wants us to think about right now. I don't know what else to write right now besides how bad I am heartbroken over this and how much I- and all of us- will miss her. I love you all and pray for everyone that knew her to get through this in one piece. Love you always, Bri, PJ, Trevor, Vance & Gracei

Erica, and the entire family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have had the joy of meeting Jessica several times, and know that she was a wonderful woman. Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for you Erica and the rest of the family. My heart goes out to you and of course Sierra and Brody. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. I know that you will need support, and please know that I am here for you, and just a phone call away. I live only 5 minutes away.

Erica, you know you are like a sister to me. I want you to know I love you and constantly thinking of you. Elvis and I are praying for you and your family. Jessica was so full of spirit, funny and loving. God makes no mistakes and he has taken one of his best Angels home. If you need me, know that I am here. It is with great pleasure to have known Jessica and she will be missed. I'm just a block away if there is anything I can do.
Love always, Elvis and Georgette

Mark and Jean. . .You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Jessica. I have memories of "the little girl across the street" that would always smile and wave when I saw her. If we had an opportunity to speak, she always was polite and happy. No parent should have to go through the loss of a child. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Jess, There are so many things I’d like to say that if I wrote them all down it would take days to read it all. I have known you my whole life and there wasn’t a day I didn’t consider you one of my closest friends. From the days where we had to meet at the corner and our moms would watch us cross the street so we could play too just a week ago...you always meant a lot to me. Even when some times were hard and we didn’t talk much I knew that if I needed you, you would be there. You were great at making people laugh and would drop everything to help a friend in need. The memories and times we shared will be with me always. Words cannot explain how much I am going to miss you.
To Sierra, Brody, Dave, Mark, Jean, and Erica: My deepest sympathies to you all. Each and every one of you hold a place in my heart and if there is anything I can ever do, please know that I will be there to help in any way I can. Sierra and Brody, I can’t tell you how sorry I am that you have to go through this loss. Your mother loved you more than anything else in the world and was so proud of you both. Please know that she will always be with you, protecting and watching over you.
My prayers go out to everyone that knew Jess. The memories everyone holds of such a fun loving person will make her live on forever.

Jess, I will always remember you with a smile on your face and on the verge of laughing. You were always goofy, fun-loving, and sweet. You were the friend that could always make me laugh so hard I cried. I have so many memories of you (some of which will remain our secret forever!) - from sleeping over at Uncle Bill & Aunt Carol's to sitting on the couch before Homecoming with your pantyhose over your head. That's the picture of you I'll keep with me always - in my head and in my heart.
To Jean, Mark, Erica, and Dave - I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the horrific heartbreak you must be dealing with. Please know how deeply Jess was loved by so very many people.

It may have been awhile since I've seen or talked to Jess, but I will never forget her. She was crazy, compassionate, ALWAYS full of energy...I could probably go on and on. She is unforgettable. Probably one of the best people you could be friends with or related to. My heart goes out to Sierra and Brody; and all the family and friends who will miss her dearly. I'll miss you Jess!! (Our birthday will never be the same.)

My sincere sympathy to all of Jessica's family.I worked with Jessica at St. Greg's, in the grade school and the Confirmation program. We connected years later when Sierra prepared for her First Communion. I am grateful for the laughter Jessica shared with me.
God's blessings.

To Jessica's Family:
Hello, I had the pleasure of meeting Jess about 4 weeks ago,and I have to say that we had had a super time together. We talked about our children and our goals in life.There was a sparkle in her eye and determination in her voice as she spoke about her dreams.When we got on the topic of kids she light up.I got the impression that she was a very good mother and she loved her kids more than anything in the world.She wanted the very best for them.There is nothing that compares to a Mommy's love, hugs and kisses.I am so sorry for you.Sierra and Brody,please always know that your mom is watching from above, and you both will always be her most prized gifts.Your mom loved you both more than anything in this whole wide world.Never forget her smile.

Jess, we all love you so much. I'm already missing you. You were like a sister to me. Your parents were my second set of parents. There were several years that we were inseparable. Then there were a number of years that we did not communicate. Regardless, I'm glad that we got the chance to reconnect more recently and I'm glad you got to meet my son. I'm so sorry for your family and I will pray for them. I have a lot of silly memories of rediculous things that we did, usually out of boredom. I will forever hold them close to my heart. And I will never forget the time you lit your underwear on fire. You will be greatly missed.

To the family of Jess - Despite the differences between our families, my heart breaks for you. Shan and Jess were good friends for many years and through high school and I considered her another of my children. I have many fond memories of Jess as a friendly child, a fun-loving teenager and devoted mother. There are no words adequate to convey my thoughts, Jean. No mother should have to bury their daughter. My deepest sympathies to your family during this time of sorrow and tragedy. God bless you.

I worked with Jess and will really miss her. I will never forget how she could make me laugh on a busy night. Also, when I was going through tough times in my own life a few months ago, she was there offering to lend a hand. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time.
