Jess quickly won our hearts the first time we met on Easter of her senior year.  We used to tease Daryn about going to his cousin’s for Easter and coming home with a girlfriend! She always had an amazing smile, giant hug and genuinely cared about how everyone was doing.  We loved hanging out at the house together; watching movies; barbecuing; enjoying the stars.  When she started coming to LSM and Living Hope, even though she and Daryn were no longer dating, we were all so happy to see her; the friendship never ended… it only continued…

Jess… you are so missed.  The way you would smile with your entire body; the way you always called me mom; the giant hugs… I will be one of the first in line to hug you for a hundred years (after your family) when we get to heaven!

I love you!

Mama Cheryl
