Jessica had an artistic streak and used her welding skills to weld bits and pieces together into wonderfully creative pieces of art. Jessica also loved music and her jeep. Her all-time favorite hobby was fishing. Jessica had a warm personality and always thought the best of people. She loved being with her family, playing games and having fun. Jessica, you will be missed by all who knew you. We loved you dearly.
