  3. Scott, I was so sorry to read this obituary and am praying for your strength at this time. Jessica was quite the character that I enjoyed being around. I remember she bought her hula hoop to Myrtle’s one time and I had to try it too. I even ordered one but was not as faithful using it as she was. She did love her animals too but loved you most.

  8. Dear Scott,
    I just found this site. Stephen had contacted Rachel when Jessica died, but I had no contact info on anyone. You all had my prayers and sympathy.
    Jess was such a wonderful girl! Kind, loving, smart, caring, funny. Memories of her shine in my life. The kids remember her mostly as the best lady at the ice cream shop. They always talked about her, she didn’t know them or us from Adam at that point. She was just being her usual, super-duper, self. I can see her, standing in my kitchen, eating the hamburger spaghetti sauce, because she couldn’t eat the noodles. See her sitting on my sofa, talking about life, music, beliefs, how and why to live, how to enjoy life and love. And laughing. Always laughter.
    I don’t think I have ever been happier for two people at a wedding. I remember the emotions strongly to this day. You two were beautiful to watch, to bask in the joy reflected off of you both. I know that the love you and Jessica share still grows day by day, even though you are physically apart for the time being. And that the love comforts you in you loss.
    I am so sorry she died so soon. You have my continued prayers and sympathy.
    God Bless,
    Jill
