Jessica Uhl Obituary
Two teenage sisters from Collinsville were identified today as the victims in a fatal crash on Interstate 64 Friday.
Jessica Elaine Uhl, 18, and her sister, Kelli Christine Uhl, 13, died after an Illinois State Police trooper -- cut off by another motorist while en route to an earlier accident -- crossed the I-64 median and slammed into the Uhls' car near Scott Air Force Base.
Both Uhls were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which injured three other people involved in the accident, according to the Illinois State Police.
Autopsies were performed on both Uhls, who lived with their mother, Kimberly Dorsey, at their Collinsville home, said Bob Shay, the St. Clair County chief deputy coroner.
Trooper Matt Mitchell, 29, was airlifted to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, where he was hospitalized for serious but non-life threatening injuries. By this afternoon, Mitchell's condition had been upgraded to good, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

I moved from Illinois last August, and I just heard the news today. I worked with her for a long time. We were not close, myself being 10 years older than her, but we often made small-talk and had quite a few serious conversations about the future. I was so happy that she was going to college. Now I'm finishing college and wonder why it's not the other way around.
In my 28 years I can count on one hand the truly decent people I have known. She is one of them.

I don't know your family, but it just breaks my heart that your family is dealing with a tragedy such as this. I have two daughters of my own, and I can't imagine the pain you're dealing with. May God bless all of you and help you through this time.

When I was a Sophomore, Jessica was a Senior, and I always found her so intimidating. Jessica was the kind of girl that knew what she wanted and didn't let anybody stand in her way. Then, I finally met her and realized how nice of a person she was, she then went out of her way to say hi to me in hallways, and at soccer games, and social events. I began to become close to Jessica, because we hung around some of the same people, you would never see her angry or sad, always happy. I bet she's still smiling now.
The last time I talked to Jessica was the last home soccer game this year, and we talked the entire game, although the game seemed long then, I now realize how short it's all been.
Jessica-- I will always remember everything you have taught me. Thank you.

Tears will not wash away the pain of your loss, but hopefully, the love and prayers being wrapped around each and every one of you will make each breath, each step, each new day a little easier until someday you can all turn your faces into the sun and smile again. Please do not get lost in the grief. Believe me it is a dark place to be and hard to find your way home again once you get there. Remember, when you are tired give into the love not the sadness.
May God give you the strength you need to move forward.
November 29, 2007
Dearest Uhl Family,
Your loss has touched so many of our lives. Losing a child is never easy, as I have lived through the pain for 23 years. The days do get easier and the pain lighter.
I share with you a poem that was shared with me during the loss of my little baby girl. It has helped me through the years and I hope you find some comfort in it as well.
There once was a procession of children marching in heaven.
Each held a lighted candle as they marched and sang.
Their faces shone with happiness.
But one little girl stood alone.
“Why don’t you join us, little girl?” one happy child asked.
“I can’t she replied. “Every time I light my candle, my Mommy puts it out with her tears.”
May God Bless You All!

I do not know you I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy for the passing of your daughters. I have experienced the loss of two daughters myself and the anger will pass and so will the grief to a point that you will move on. Remember what your daughters would want , not to grieve but to remember all the good and happy times. No amount of sadness will bring them back, but they are now Angels looking over you all and taking care of each other and sitting side by side with God. May God Bless you and you will remain in my prayers.

Although I've never met any of you, I can't stop thinking about Jessica and Kelli, their parents, other siblings, grandparents, relatives, friends and teachers. My brother lives in Shiloh and is stationed at Scott AFB, so I am familiar with the area. I am a mother of two and cannot begin to fathom your loss and pain. I am so very sorry for what you're going through. My heart goes out to all of you and to your community. May your faith and God's love carry you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for the rest of my life. With deepest sympathy.

Jessica was a very dear friend of mine, and like all, I am sorry to see her pass from this world. There are many good qualities about her that every one loved. She always had a smile on her face, and was never judgmental. She was an amazing person. I not only got the priveledge of going and graduating from school with her, but I also got to work with her. She was a hard worker, and never gave up. Many people are mourning the passing of her as I am, but I think that we need to keep her alive. Talk about her, remember her, cherish the impact that she had on all of us. This is a tragic time in all of our lives. This is something and someone that we will never forget. She has touched all of our lives. As long as we remember her, she will live on. We can get through this, fulfill her dreams and hopes, take them into our hearts and hands and do as she wanted to do.
My prayers go out to the family and friends of all that knew her.

It breaks my heart to know that someone I just graduated with is gone. But I pray for her and her sister and all of her family members. I am deeply sorry...But trust me...they will be well taken care of.

We don't know each other but being a mom of two just hit home. My deepest sympathies go out to your family.
I lost a brother when he was ten It took me a long time to understand why God took my brother at such a young age. There isn't a day that goes by I think of him. Thirty five years later I finally accepted the fact why God took him. He took him to be one of his angels to look over me and my children. Every night when I look at the sky I see that bright star and smile because I know he's looking down on us. Your daughters are safe and in good hands.
May God bless you & your family

Though you don't know me, as a mother of two teens, I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. I am saddened by the story of the tragic accident, knowing that every time my children leave in their cars, it could be me receiving that horrible news. Reading the condolences left here in your daughters' memories are proof that they touched many lives and left lasting impressions on those who knew them and also those of us that did not. Hearing of your losses only serves to remind me of the importance of living each day as if it is our last and how perfect strangers can reach out to help each other in times of need. During this holiday season, let all who read this remember that it is not the "stuff" that we have that makes an impression on others, but the interactions with others and how we live everyday that makes us into better people and create lasting impressions. May the thoughts and prayers extended here be the comfort you need to get through this and know that you are not alone in your sorrow.
