I am so sad for your loss. My mother passed in February & we received a card which gave me solice. The idea is to know that our loved ones are having Christmas with Jesus this year. All is calm and all is bright and we should celebrate their new found peace. Sending much love and many hugs. Please share with your father.
Jesse you have been my friend for 30 years. We have been neighbors and lived together and through thick and thin we have continued to be friends. Words cannot express how much love I have for you! I have enjoyed the last months of your life and being able to talk to you and let you know how much you mean to me. You have touched so many people and will NEVER be forgotten. I will hold all my memories with you dear to my heart. Your family and friends are in my thoughts and we are all very lucky to have had you in our lives. I know you are in heaven having a reunion with your gramma, my gramma Helen, and my mom. Love you always my Jesse! XOXO
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember Jessica smiling and dancing in Marsha’s car as a beautiful happy baby girl.
I knew Jessica from the Outpatient Lab at Warren General Hospital. In December 2006, I fell coming out of church and I fractured my humerous, two days later I was diagnosed with pulmonary emboli in both lungs- I was in the hospital for 11 days- at first I needed blood drawn every 2 hours, and Jessica was one of the lab staff that came to my bedside in the middle of the night, and was so gentle and kind- even if I needed to have a pediatric needle in my hand- she was always so upbeat and positive..after I needed to have my blood drawn every day because I was on warfarin for at least 2 1/2 years- the lab staff seemed like family to me- Jessica would tell me of her educational pursuits, she and her brother buying a duplex and renovating it- it was as if I watched her achieve her goals with time- she helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I was so saddened to run into her at a garage sale in Pleasant Township and she told me of her stage 4 diagnosis! I was so shocked, she was telling me her status – after giving comfort to so many people and helping with health issues and now she was facing a very critical issue of her own.. God Bless her soul! My Sympathies to all of her Family, friends , co-workers. I am honored to have known her and she has touched so many Lives in a positive way! Rest in Peace !
