Today we pulled from the waters of Sarasota Bay a clear glass bottle. We opened it and found a touching note from Jessica's sister Amy. The note was dated 8/6/11 and contained enough information for us to find our way to Jessica's obituary. What a tragedy to lose a loved one so young who had offered so many people comfort from the disease that took her - cancer. We were so moved we made a donation in her name to CancerCare. We put our own note in the bottle alongside Amy's and returned it to the Gulf. We are inspired to spread Jessica's story. We hope Jessica's family and friends are able to find some comfort knowing that even though she is gone your memories of her touch and inspire others.

I knew Jessica in high school. We would talk on the phone late into the night and sometimes to the morning. Even on school nights :o) She was the sweetest most soft-spoken girl I have ever met to this day. We lost touch after school as most do and I often wondered what became of her. I am saddened to find this after all of my wondering. What is left of my heart goes to the ones who knew and loved her better than I.
Rest Well, Jessica.
For Jessica...everybodies angel!

Jessica was always an angel, we just didn't know it. The love she spread was more than her family could hold and it overflowed onto her friends, her community, and all those she met. Her wings took her to her place of rest, her place of peace, her eternal home. If we are lucky enough we will see her again someday, still beautiful and full of youth, she'll also be wearing those beautiful wings!

It seems like yesterday we were riding around in the rain in golf carts around Sandusky Bay and now the sweetest person I've ever met and didn't get a chance to spend much time with is gone. My heart aches for her family and it is with deep sorrow that I send my condolences. I will be thinking of the young girl smiling in the rain on a golf cart. Love Matt and Stephanie.

Weeping willow with your tears running down,
Why do you always weep and frown?
Is it because he left you one day?
Is it because he could not stay?
On your branches he would swing,
Do you long for the happiness that day would bring?
He found shelter in your shade,
He thought his laughter would never fade.
Weeping willow stop your tears,
For there is something to calm your fears.
You think death has ripped you forever apart,
But I know he'll always be in your heart.

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.
