Oh Jess...this still just does not seem real. you had so much life to live still. You were a ray of sunshine and lit up any room you walked into. I just can´t believe it I have so many memories with you I will forever cherish. The slumber parties, birthday parties, movies, sledding. We had so much fun! I love you Jess! Always and forever !

Jess I remember the first time we met, we had so much fun. Laughing so hard , when we should have been taking things seriously. I knew instantly we were going to be best friends forever. We wre fighting a tough road but we were doing it together , we have been there for each other in good times and bad. Never once turning our backs n each other. On the phone into the wee hours of the morning , to be there for each there countless laughs over coffee at Starbucks. I won't ever forget any of those times. We weren't able to get together as much once we moved, but our phone bills made up for it. I loevyou so much Jess I will never forget you , your kindness, thoughtless, you amazing way. You will be in my heart forever my dear sweet Sis,

Grief is the hardest thing in life, but you have to deal and go on without you. With Grief I
tell myself that it hurts so bad because of the deep love for the you and it was a true gift to have had you in my Life,
To those Whom loved you there is nothing that can be said that will take the pain of loss away so I won´t even try. I will say too remember the precious time that you shared with A true Warrior indeed. I loved you Jess the miss is great but it was a blessing having known you. There are a whole bunch of Warriors that drew strength from you and that strength will be missed. You fought the battle hard as anyone that I have ever met for a very long time now it is time for you rest as your pain is over. Jessica you are now
an Angel to watch over us your, Family,Friends and many warriors whom you leave behind. I am going to remember your strength for as long as I can remember. Love you Jessica. Peace Be With You and your loved ones.

Love Ya Franny
