Jessica was a fun-loving person who loved life. She was always there for her friends and family. She loved singing, music, dancing and just being with her family. She was a kind heart with a good soul.
We are so very sorry for your loss of Jessica. Our deepest sympathy goes out to our her family and friends.
Even though she was our ex-daughter in law, we still texted to one another sometimes and we loved her so very much! She will truly be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with loved ones.
We did not know your loved one, Jessica, but we have borne the grief of losing a 21 year old son and we can encourage you that as time passes you will be able to remember more of the good times with her and dwell less on your loss.
We found that each person grieves in a different way and at different times, so we encourage you and your family to allow for those differences in the coming days.
We are of the Christian faith and even in our pain we came to understand that God is still sovereign. May you find comfort as you walk through this “valley of the shadow of death” and may friends share their good memories of Jessica with you.
Christina, my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry you are having to go through
this. You have my love, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days
to come.. Try to draw strength from your family and friends and concentrate on
all the wonderful memories you’ve shared with Jessica. Remembering you both
with much love Elaine Bozarth
My sincere condolences to the family and friends. May the God of all comfort take hold of your right hand, fortify you and help you at this time of great sorrow. Isaiah 41:10
