Jessica was a great friend to me. She was someone I admired and respected. I considered myself very lucky to have met her and became her friend. She was always warm, caring, supportive and positive about everything. I will miss you Jess tremendously. I will miss our eating out and going to movies or just hanging out. Rest in peace Jessica. You will never be forgotten

Words cannot capture the depth of sorrow for the loss of Jessica. Since high school, she was always a true, caring and amazing friend to me. I will always remember the great times we had together hanging out. She was a positive influence and lived a life of kindness, dedication and integrity. She was a close friend and she is greatly missed. Rest in peace dear Jessica.
