When I think back on these times, and dreams we left behind, I'll be glad cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life. When I look back on these days. I'll look and see your face. You were right there for me. In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky. In my heart there'll always be a place for you. For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me, and every where I am there you'll be.

My dear friend Kelly, thank you
Forever Jessica

Loves to make people laugh and can play a jokester better than most. Ultimate goal is to see a smile on someone's face especially when it started out as a frown.

Exhilarating- An amazing personality that is vibrant and effervescent like a magnet you are just attracted to the energy that she radiates

Sensitivity- should be her middle name. Sensitivity and compassion never escaped her attention. In her world, needs are always met without sacrifice and without asking.

Social Butterfly - Loves to have people around and has an uncanny ability to see the true nature of someone's soul. No one is ever left out and essentially everyone has an invitation to be her friend and confidant

Intelligent- Remarkably intelligent and insightful on so many matters regardless of nature with emphasis on martial arts, music, academics, and worldly affairs.

Compassionate- and has a heart of Gold. She is an absolute saint to so many people.  They just have to dig deep into their soul and open their eyes and heart to feel her love and caring.

Ambitious- always wanted to conquer a new adventure or goal. If she wants your attention she will get it some way or some how. If she wants to learn something she will do everything in her power to do so.

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright
As we look to the heavens on this very night.
Beyond the stars, our dear Jessica soars
Embraced by her Savior on heaven's shores.
As the angels protect her and sing her sweet name
We honor her life with the glow of this flame.
So we light this candle for our Jessica tonight
As a symbol of our love and her eternal life.

"The Rose"

Some say love,
It is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love,
It is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love,
It is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
That never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been to long,
And you think that love is only for
The lucky and the strong

Just remember
in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
