On Friday, August 16th, my sweet niece Jessica, passed on and is now in heaven watching over all who loved her. Jessica was only 36 years old. Jessica was such a beautiful girl inside and out, always caring and tender and filled with love for all those in her life.
Jessica on her daddy's lap with her mother looking on.
One Halloween Jessica had no costume, so my mother and I made her one--
she was the centerpiece of her own picnic table.
Jessica always had a lovely smile and laughing eyes.
One time Jessica wanted to wear my swim suit top, so with a lot of manipulation
I managed to get it to stay on her.

Jessica was a beautiful woman, in and out, and always cared for everyone in her life.
She adored John (aka Spook) and her daughter, Emma Rose.
After my husband died, Jessica kept telling me that she wanted me to be happy;
to hold on to all of the good memories, but be happy.
"You deserve it, Aunt Rose."
I will greatly miss my little Jessica.
This song is for Jessica and all who loved her.

TO WHERE YOU ARE sung by Josh Groban
Who can say for certain?
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are my forever love
And you are watching over me from up above?
And you are watching over me from up above?
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream?
And isn't faith believing?
All power can't be seen
Here inside my dream?
And isn't faith believing?
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Everyday
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Everyday
'Cause you are my forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
A breath away's not far
To where you are
What a lovely eulogy. Such a tender tribute. I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh Rose, how sorry I am to hear of your loss. Jessica's photos and your remembrances of her make her death seem so personal to all of us. How unfair such things seem when young people, who have so much to live for, are taken. I am sure your presence in her life gave her joy and the security of loving support. Alice
