Friend of a lifetime
Jess had one of the greatest senses of humor I have ever known. Although we laughed at everything, Jess never laughed at anyone or made anyone the butt of her jokes. She accepted all. She was happy to just be. We used to love to talk about our dogs. We went on a girls trip once, just to get away. Jess read her book, I swam and listened to my iPod and Holly played sodoku. We had a blast!! It was one of the best times. Although Jess was new to our friendship, you would’ve never known. She was just so easy to be around. A true blessing to anyone who had the privilege of knowing her and laughing with her and singing Madonna with her ha! Will miss you terribly Jessie!! Always thought we’d have more time. Never expected this. God Bless you always my friend. 🌈🐾💕

Growing up with Jess
My childhood memories with Jess are priceless. From shared birthday parties to indoor guard practices - from making up dance routines to riding around in her pink cabrio – from her love of rainbows to playing with the cat ‘Stretch’ at our cabin (we’d put him in a bucket and pull him up the side of the tree to the treehouse….looking back, it wasn’t our smartest decision)... and when we would play private investigator, her play name was always “Tia Ashley” and she was always in charge of our office paperwork. Her light was infectious – and I will forever cherish the memories we made together.
I pray God graces you with comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. And when I see a rainbow, I will forever think of God’s promise and Jess’ smile.
Hugs to you all.

Fond Memories
I will remember Jessie as a fun loving sweet girl who had fun Halloween parties at her cute cozy home. She always included her sister's friends and we always had so much fun standing out in front of her house watching the parade. Another memory is the beach weekend in Ocean City, Maryland. Will always remember the "dance party" and going out and watching "Mrs. Brady" pole dancing at Secrets. We laughed all night!!! Jessie was fun to be around and the kind of person you wanted to be around. Her infectious smile and calm demeanor were so likeable. Heaven has gained a sweet, kind and loving angel for sure. RIP
