My beautiful friend Jessica it was a pleasure to have such a wonderful classmate and friend with a heart of gold. Even when I when I moved away you made sure we remained in touch. I will always remember the days in band or HOSA class with all your jokes and your special laugh that most likely ended in a pig snort! You showed me the true meaning of being a friend and that no matter what you hold love ones close to your heart. For that you will always remain in my heart and truly be missed. Gone to soon
My Beautiful Cousin Jessica, May your soul rest in peace. I will always remember you by that sweet smile and warm heart.
You were one-off the kind and fun to be around. You will be in our hearts forever ♥
Condolences to my family and knowing the Lord will bring comfort to all of us. Remembering her wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts.
May she rest in peace. Love you.
Jessica and I were friends in high school but had lost touch. She was always such a light in the world and I know she will be missed dearly. Here is to all the great memories and times spent together until we meet again.
Jessica was always such a sweet friend to me. I have known her since we were eight years old, and we grew up in church together. Sunday School, Missionettes, and the youth group were wonderful times. Jessica was so much fun, I loved her dearly.
I am so sorry to hear this. I saw her a year ago at Nederland graduation. I was so happy to see her. She was a beautiful little girl and a beautiful woman. My heart hurts for all the family. My God give you peace and strength.
