– [ ] My sincere condolences to family and friends. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God’s promise to soon “swallow up death forever” and “wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) Rev 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” To find more comforting scriptures visit http://www.jw.org.

Jessica, Jessie, Jess, Mother, momma, mum. It’s the 19 of November, 2019. Sitting on the edge of the bed staring out the window, crying with the grey, sad sky. I don’t know what came over me to look over these memories others have shared with you, but I wish we all could continue to make more with you. I know it’s not going to be easy, it hasn’t been and never will be, this grief I will always carry with me. Forever missing my mother, wishing to see you again, hear your voice..With each passing year, month, week, day, second, I’m still waiting here, for you to come home, and make us a family again. I love you mom.

Jessie,
I have always admired your strength and courage. It’s so hard to find words, I can’t believe you’re gone. I will miss your laugh and your hugs. It has been a week today and I am not ready to say good-bye. So I will say this, Say hello to Nana and Grampa Aunt June too. I hope you and Jerry are holding hands again. I will see you again someday, until then please be a guiding light to Kennedy and I. It isn’t going to be the same without you, Heaven has another Angel. R.I.P my sweet cousin, I will cherish our memories forever.

I’m not entirly sure of what to say. It’s November 2nd, 2023, over 5 years now, and time passes by, with direction unknown you’ve left us now, but we’re not alone and before you know it, your cup’s overflown you measure no one that I’ve ever known. I know that it’s out of pocket to say that, and it’s really all I can think of saying. I guess all we can really do now is look up to the stars and believe who we are. ‘Cause it’s quite all right, and so long, goodbye. I will miss you dearly, as will the rest of us. You were one of the best aunts I could have asked for.
