I was fortunate enough to work with Jess. Hard worker. Very helpful to everyone. Excellant with customers. She was also a good friend. Very talented. She drew me a beautiful picture I will treasure even more now. Will miss you Jess.
Jess was an amazing ray of sunshine! She was always smiling and positive. This news is so very sad. I am sure she is blessing everyone in heaven with her smile and spunky attitude!
Oh Jess, so many things to be said. But now as you stand there with your grandparents and wonder at the beauty of heaven, know that you were a light to EVERYONE you met.
You are pain free and know you are loved up there, but you are loved down here too and will be missed. Send a butterfly around me once in a while so I know you’re watching me.
Just so sad about this tragic loss of this very kind, talented and creative person. She had goodness in her heart and I will treasure how she refurbished my garden animals forever. I just loved the special person you were and the brightness you brought to our family. We will miss you, Jess. You will add additional sunshine to heaven. She was a treasured Grand-daughter-in-law.
Good people always are taken too soon. My condolences. Some of the only people to treat my like an actual person growing up in River Falls. I wish you the best and you can get through this.
