May the love of God creap into your heart each time you think of the time that has been cut short. We are blessed with the time we have today and every day is a kiss from God. To appreciate what time He gives us cannot be seen now. But laughter is what we embrace with each silly memory of a loved one not here anymore........I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling, but is a great fear of mine. My prayers are with the entire family.

Leo and Tracey,
I am truly sorry to hear about Jessica. We lost our beautiful daughter, Rachel, on November 2, 2008. I would love to tell you that time heals all wounds (that's what everyone keeps telling me), but I am still waiting for that time to come. Just keep busy and never let her memory slip away. I know I don't know you very well but if you ever want to talk to someone who knows exactlly what you are going through, please do not hesitate to give me a call. I will pray for Jessica everyday when I pray for Rachel.
Michelle, I am so sorry. Please call me, I would love to talk to you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a precious life. I didn't know Jessica too well but I am a cousin of the Boesch kids and met Jessica a few times. To lose a daughter/sister/friend is devastating to all. May God be with her family and friends and may they remember the "good times" and cherished memories of a beautiful young woman.

I only met Jessica 2 or 3 times but am saddened to see her life over at the age of 21. She barely had a chance to spread her wings and see where life was going to take her.
