You know... there are so many things I want to say but you already know what´s in my heart. I miss you more and more as times passes us by. I always wonder who adult Jess would be today. For one thing, I know you would have been an amazing Titi to my kids... and probably get them into a lot of sneaky trouble. Until we meet again... just know that I hold you in my heart every day. I miss you and I love you!!! Forever and a day to infinity and beyond!

Dear Jessica

We miss you a lot, and will always remember you. Although you're not here with us, we will always wish you a happy holidays as if you were. I love you, my hugs are with you. - Judy

I lived a regretless life, until the day I found out of the horrible news that one day, the day I heard you were gone...after that point, I live with one regret, that I never truely got to know you and spend much time with you. I'll always regret that... my thoughts are with you always. - Russ

I don't even know where to begin... I still miss you as if you just left us yesterday! I can't believe it's been so long. I still drive by the old house and have to remind myself that you won't be trying to chase my car down Grand Ave. just to give me a hug and say hello! It gives me some comfort knowing that one day we will meet again. I live with some regret too though. I wish I had made more of an effort to be there for you but sadly I can't change the past. I love you Jess and will miss you dearly for all my days on this earth! On a happy note, I've had twins, they are almost a year old now. My girl already has a bubbly little attitude like yours. LOL! But they both keep a smile on my face. Keep watching over us all. Until we next time... <3

Wow it felt so good to hold you and feel those warm hugs you used to give to us all. - My dream - We were playing catch in the middle of the street and we were a pretty good distance from each other & you kept rambling on about Josh. I kept asking you what you were saying because I couldn't hear you, so you came stomping like usual and threw your mit on the street and said MAAAAAAAA I'm so happy for Josh. Then we were no longer in the street playing catch we were laying on my bed. You just stared at me touching my face and telling me how much you loved me and missed me and how happy you were for Josh but not explaining anything so when I asked why are you so happy for Josh you looked up and said it was time that you had to leave I grabbed & hugged you and begged you to stay for just a little while more. You said No Mom I Have to go or I can't come back. Then when you moved from the bed there was a beautiful baby girl laying there asleep & I asked "Jessi who's baby is this?" You crawled back and said Oh I just have to give her butterfly kisses and tickled her cheek until she smiled & then you were gone. I opened my eyes and still could feel you in the room. I stayed up most of the night trying to figure out who is going to have this baby girl, and savor the warm hugs you gave me.
I miss you so much my heart hurts.
Love you
Mom

Another year is coming and going like a speeding train. So many things passing by so quickly. But missing you each day still moves like a slow turtle.
Sassy came to the house yesterday and M.J. kept calling her Auntie Jessica showing her pictures of you and saying see there you are Auntie Jessica I missed you so much. Sass got so quiet she just sat there and read books with her just like you used to do with her at that age. It's so funny how M.J. knows so much about you. Thanks for showing us all through her that your still around keeping up with the family.
I love you so much baby.

Hi Baby!
Wow 50 wow.. It's gonna be hard to celebrate without my 2 favorite girls with me. I would love to see you if just to hear you say my name would be the greatest gift of all. Sometimes in life people don't realize just how much they have always looking beyond to find something more then what is right in front of them. I always appreciated you may not have gotten along 100% of the time but never were you ever out of my thoughts or my heart. And you always knew this. Gosh I love you so much. And I pray that I get my birthday wish.
Kisses

Jessica Emily..... (i wanted to write you this wkend but my internet was down but i sure did pray for your family :0) )
its crazy how time goes by so fast... five years Jessie...and so much has happened... its hard to believe five years ago i would see you cartwheeling in your socks down the hall at school, yelling at Mrs.Gearon :0) or singing your favorite song at the time i remember 2 of them being "go shorty its ur birthday by fifty cent" lol or J.Lo "all i have" .... i look baack and realize what precious children we were.... five years and life can change drastically... you still come into my thoughts often and when i hear R. Kellys 'I wish" i think of u and my grandmother... i believe that the memories i have of u are not based about how long i knew u that caused me to be so affected by ur absence but instead the person u were in life and how u brought me smiles n joy through exchanging advice (as young as we were), and appreciating eachother as the young girls we were.... i could only imagine the joy u brought to the ones who really had to honor of being there with you and for you for years.... but resting in the Lord's presence is a priviliege.... missing u may hurt at times... but through the pain there is joy... some joy be the memories we shared w you, other the anticipation of seeing again, and others the thoughts of u still very close to us.... whichever may apply the truth is you were and still loved... i thank God i meet you... you will never be forgotten to me.... your gonna always have a special place in my heart becuz you planted yourself there in life & now u will always remain.... :0) I love you still not for all the memories but for who you were.... until later xoxo God bless your family... c.martinez

Two days babygirl
OMG I've done so good up until now.
This pain in my heart is killing me.
It's cutting into my soul like a knife.
Forever in our hearts right?
Forever in my soul. I swear Jessi this is so hard to live through each year.
If you only could have been here when I got that e-mail from Marcela omg you would have been so proud of me I really didn't cry too much in front of her but Jessi she thought you forgot about her.
Could you imagine. Remember stalking North & Kedzie that whole week when they told you she was around there! lol Wait till she see all the things you two shared together through the years. Wow and a week before this day. I guess it goes to show you really wanted us to find each other. God Bless her Jessi she needs your hugs and ok give her a special dream too. She would really appreciate it. I swear!
Well let me close my eyes and send you a kiss. Remember forever in my soul forever until we reunite!

Jessi
Its almost another year.
So many things have happened and life has done this whole 360 for me. I have to step back and take a deep breath sometimes because at times my life becomes overwhelming with fear if I'm going too fast or if time is moving too slow. Gosh I wish we were laying on the sofa or bed looking at the celing just talking stuff about all this stuff.
I still talk to you about everything at night. I know you hear me. It's just that sometimes I need to feel you. I need those hugs and those frowns and dirty looks and lifted eyebrow conversations. hehehehe Oh I miss you babygirl so damn much. And life is starting to begin again. But you will always be a part of it Jessi I swear no matter what. Pinky Promise!

Makayla's Christening Day

Mom

November 2, 2008

OMG its been forever since I have written huh? You still love me? I know just like to ask!
Makayla looked so beautiful today. She is such a good girl she just doesn't like your father! (hehehehe) Gosh she crys so much when he goes by her. I think he's just too loud. She likes gentle people and quiet times. She likes to sleep in my bed like you did. She kickes me just like you did. Hey remember right after I got out of the hospital from the car accident and you insisted on staying by my side and slept with me the first night? Yeah I can laugh now about it but damn when you kicked my ribs that were broken it really hurt. lol Well she does the same thing has to have her leg across me. I love when she wakes up and touches my face until I look at her and see her innocent smile so full of love. You know when you have children and do everything with them and watch them grow and evolve into these adults you can't ever imagine loving anyone more than that..... Until you become a Grandma gosh your heart swells with so much love for that little human being.
Remember how we would talk about you giving birth to little Jeramiah Joshua??? lol you always had the name ready. I wish you would have left a piece of you here with me. But its alright I see the things your teaching Makayla.... She likes patty-cakes and He's got the whole world in his hands just like you did. I pray that when she starts saying her prayers that she doesn't get as extensive as you did draging the God Bless mommy - daddy - family - dogs cats strangers man down the block Aunt Pams dog and everything else you could think of in that day. You wanted God to bless everyone who came into your life. And I know your still asking Him to keep us safe. I feel you baby always.
Well just wanted to say I love & miss you tooooooooooo much.
Kisses & Hugs & all my love
Mom - aka - Joyce - aka MAAAAAAAAAA.
P.S. And that clicking with the mouth that Makayla is doing is not funny. You drove me nuts with that and to hear her start that I could only get goosebumps from it!

Ohhh Jessica,
What an emotional/hormonal time of my life. I often have dreams and think of our memories that make me cry like a baby, Horse use to think I was crazy but I couldn’t help it. When I found out that I was pregnant, it kind of explained it all. I guess the main thing that bothers me is that we aren’t able to stick with our plans, it going to be really hard for me to pick a god mother. How about 2 god fathers?? Smile. People often say, outta site outta mind. That’s not true. I miss you sooo much and knowing that you’ll be here spiritually always makes me more comfortable.
I love you Sissi Poo!

jessica -
the last time I saw you - you were about 2 yrs old - how I envied your mom- she had the first girl, but I had my son a few hours before your brother Ernie was born.... I now have a daughter of my own and I wished that some day she would meet you and become friends just like your mom and I. We might not see each other as we did in years before, but I do miss her and think of her the boys and you. Last time I seen your mom it was in target after my dad and brother died. As I sit here crying like a baby I am asking my brother to give you a big hug...and tell you as that you are your mom - she was always able to light up my life. She is a very strong lady your mom - maybe we will connect as I see she writes you often. A blessing in disguise, thank you baby girl. My baby is graduating this may, can you be one of her g.angels?, at some time I hope your mom writes you again and will call me....Cheryl I am so sorry I was not there for you - I was looking for you on your birthday

TWO SLEEPY HEADS

April 10, 2008

Oh Jess! Your mama is going to be a GrandMA hehehehe GRANDMA!!!!
I bet she is loving that. Anyway you guys still haven't sent down those winning lottery numbers. Whats up with that. Oh yeah and don't be giving Steven's kid any idea's heheheh NO HEAD BUTTING ME!

April 8, 2008

I'm missing you Jessi.
It hurts so much not having you here as time goes by. The closer it gets to having Steven's baby here the more it makes me miss you.
Gosh the way you loved everyone's kids makes me think of how much more you would have loved this little lady that will enter our lives forever.
You and Grandma loved babies so much. And I feel so bad not being able to see the love in either of your eyes as she enters this life we all share.
Just make me a promise ok. If you and Grandma can't be here to hold her or make her laugh and feel all that love you would give her, could you please always keep her safe and happy and as free spirited as you were in life. Could you never let her hurt or feel the pain that we all felt when you & Grandma left us.
Give her your generous heart, your radiant smile and that glow of love that each of us have felt at different times in our lives. Let her grow without any fears in life and always be by her side.
I love you Jess.
And I know I really didn't even need to ask because you probably already have been kicking it with her already.
Since she's gonna carry your name I pray she lives up to it! But of course she is Jessi Jr. (smile) I love you too much

Alright, Jessie! Keep it up with that string-pulling...slow and easy positive progress is what we're looking for and so far it's happening...
Maddie Emily is responding to the attention from her Docs, Nurses, Parents and Family (and you know you and your Grandma are such a big part of that)...
The only way I get to sleep at night is knowing that you and Mom are with her...

Thanks

December 18, 2007

Hi Baby!
Hey I Know YOU! (smile)
Gosh I know I promised myself no tears just cheers but man Jessi
Real Talk here....... I miss you!
Even when I write it I feel it in my heart how much I miss you.
I was making cookies all last week for Christmas and as I stood in the living room looking towards the kitchen counter full of cookies I was just imagining you coming over and trying to get me to focus on something else besides the cookies while you just helped yourself to all that you could. I miss you sneaking cookies at christmas. I miss your famous inventory of ornaments to make sure that each memory was in its spot. Remember when I stopped the gold tree and made the frosty tree? You took all your favorite gold ornaments and hung them on your Barbie tree. (smile) You and Grandma were so much alike in so many ways. I have felt this inner peace flow through me ever since Grandma left. I didn't get mad because she left me too I felt good that she had you there her most precious joy to be by her side and guide her. They say there is a reason for everything right? I know how afraid of dying mom was and for some reason ever since you died it felt like you took alot of that fear away. You know what I mean? She never let any of you kids down and I'm so glad to say that I know you were there for her. You helped bring alot of peace to us all.
I love you Jessica Emily
Can I get an early Christmas Present like a hug or a dream?
Too much love & kisses

Hi Baby!
How is the happiest princess in heaven? I know you and Grandma have been having the time of your life catching up and remembering all the happy moments you had together here on earth.
I'm finally at peace Jessi. I know you are ok and I know Grandma is finally happy again. Keep her close baby and always remember that you both are in my prayers daily. I talk to you both all the time and I know you both hear me.
Give Uncle Rick a hug let him know you two are ok this is really the hardest on him and I don't want him to hurt as badly as I did when you left. So lots of hugs and many kisses to my two favorite angels in heaven.
Now don't have too much fun with Grandma and forget to come visit from time to time. Ok?
I love you babygirl

Hey, Jess I haven't communicated my thoughts to you for such a long time. I know that you are looking down at us and enjoying what you see. I would like to tell you about my baby girl Isabella. She is now 6months old and I'm currently expecting my second baby. It's a boy and I'm super excited. I will visit your mom's soon. Although she does not know! I know that although you are gone, you will never be forgotten and you will live on through the individuals who love and care for you. And with that I say to you keep looking after us, because without beautiful Angels like you some of us would lose hope. Keep shinning bright! Love ya!!! xoxo

Hi baby
We all met up by Ricks house last night to clean up Grandma's things and I came across this letter she wrote to you...........
Jessica,
You will always be Grandma's Little Girl.
We always shared great times together on Paulina Street, you me & Uncle Rick.
Whenever you called me, you relived those memories of all the happy times we had together.
We shared our Birthdays and cakes together every year because you were born on my birthday, this year I'll be alone.
Grandchildren are little pieces of the Heart and you took a piece of mine with you.
We always ended our telephone calls with "I Love You" and our visits with a Hug and an "I Love You".
We were very close. Some of your last words to me were my family will always come first with me.
I love you Jess!
God needed another angel so he took you, it left us with a lot of grief but, you left alot of love.
I love you Jess!
Grandma Emily

Well thats the letter we found in her drawer just thought I needed to share it with you. I know your not sad because shes hugging you now. Too much love for you baby too much.
Kisses mom

OMG aren't you the happiest angel in heaven!(smile)
Wow now I can finally feel at peace with your leaving me.
No one else would I trust to bring me this peace within me now.
I know it was very hard for Grandma when you left. It almost seemed as if she never got over your leaving. She would always question me about heaven and death and your visits. (Like who am I the expert??) hehehe
Well she always hoped that you would remember her in heaven and be right there when she passed. I know you would never let her down.
I love you babygirl and it's time to live a little bit easier now because I know you have the one person who loved you the most in this world with you now.
And may God take a vacation for a while with the two of you together!
(smile)
I love you both dearly

O Jessica
As it gets closer to your day, I sit back remembering the goofy and funny birthday memories I have. I can't help to think WHAT IF... How would we be celebrating your big *21*? I FOLLOW YOUR LEAD MY GUARDIAN ANGEL. Show me the way.
I see my entry back in Feb when I asked if it was Pooh Bear you were sending my way. It must be. I can't wait to see what the little man looks like. I know our Genes our strong but I'm sure he'll have his uniqueness and I'm sure Lil Bro will do a very good job at being a daddy!
Not a day goes by without you by MYSIDE! I love you and miss you mucho mucho mucho!
Gone but NEVER EVER EVER EVER Forgotten!

Goodbye

Saying goodbye is never easy
It's the hardest thing to do
But what hurts even more
Is not the chance to say it to you.

Yesterday is just a memory
Our laughter was sunny and bright
Then clouds started to gather
For you were no where in sight.

You are a great person
and this I will never forget
How you left without a warning
I couldnt say goodbye is my only regret.

Wherever I may be now
Always searching for a friend so true
To place my world of emotion
Handing my friendship to someone like you.

If again I must go there
And experience all the pain
I would do it in a minute
For all the good I would gain.

No matter what my wrongs
You offered only love
Until the day you left me
For your new home up above.

I know you still are with me
Your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present
Our souls will never part.

This is given to you in honor
Of all that we did share
I just wanted you to know, Jessica,
How much I really do care.

You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
I'll be missing you.

Crazy girl,
I miss you! I luv u!
Things here are a bit crazy but you know how life gets. Only you could make the sun come up each day for us. I miss your crazy ways and giggles and spuratic moments that no other could give me.
Saturday watching those girls act so crazy at the resort in Wisconsin made me laugh so much and remember all the parties and days in our house with you & Stephanie jumping around and acting just as silly maybe even more. Everything was going so good until I seen this look in one of the teachers eyes, that look that Stephanie would have when you could just see her want to get just as out of pocket and crazy as you but that one look where she would hesitate for a moment then continue on acting just as silly as you. That look would always let me know something was going to happen to make me laugh silly. Like the day we went to IHOP! OMG that was too great of a day!
I guess that is probably why I felt this deep sense of loss all of a sudden that brought me back to reality that only you could provide those kind of special moments in my heart,so then I felt out of place and had to leave to go back to my room. It really hurts to be without you Jessi. No matter how much I try to push it out of the way to live each day, I know it's there and at any given moment I could hear one of your songs that you would sing or smell a common scent that you would wear feel a memory come to full focus something somehow someway pushes a Jessica thought to my brain each and every day and remember that the mission you were on was some serious business that you had to live so much of it within those 17 years here. Watching you grow and seeing the woman you were turning into was remarkable. I know the last 2 years were kind of unbearable for us both with your growing pains that were thorns in my side at times but in a way I'm glad that you took advantage of life and lived it so happily (well at least until you got home and had to answer to me) Sorry! but growing pains right? Well I'm just glad you chose to ignore the rules and regulations and got to live so freely. No regrets just alot of love babygirl.
Alot of hugs and kisses.
Mom

Trapped in the glorious years

within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.

Take the reasons,

which once seemed so clear,

but never mind, you have nothing to fear.

For you my friend will be, forever young,

Forever in the heart of memories.



Lost in the glory of all time,

the wisdom was there within that smile,

You see you could have told us,

there within lies the mystery.



So shed a smile, and grin a tear,

For you my friend, will be,

Forever young, Forever young.

Forever in the heart of memory,

We see not through our misery.

Forever young, forever young.

There's a new angel tonight.



As I'm about to take this step in life I pray Jessica that all goes well. Things never worked out the way we planned and that always makes me sad. So much time has went by and there are no words to explain how much I miss you!

I love you B!

July 23, 2006

What a pretty summer day huh?

Remember those lazy summer days nothing to do bored out of your mind? Well, unless you were (BORROWING MY CAR) without me knowing or grabbing the keys and sneaking me away for a ride.

Seeing you drive past with Tina and Maria screaming out the window or singing to me as you guys drove past. Wow big sigh!

You know I was cleaning today and I put one of your bootleg cd's on and gosh the memories of you singing so silly and crazy to me all the time. I sometimes wonder if you really thought that you could sing? (just kidding.)

Well just thought I would stop by to say I love listening to your cd's I can feel you here wanting to sing and jump around and dance through the house like before.

I love you

Mom

Gimme Kiss!

Happy Birthday AGAIN!

Wow it's over and I don't know how to react. I mean I've spent your whole life fighting with you through good and bad, then I spent the last two years fighting for you.

I spent your whole life kissing tears away from pain in your life even if it was pain caused by me or by you, and I've spent the last 2 years crying tears for the pain that you had to suffer through and have left us to suffer through.

I thought that there would be some sense of closure but I feel even more empty inside.

Nothing to celebrate nothing to be happy about.

Still Empty - Still waiting - Still need you.

I love you

Happy Belated Birthday AGAIN!

I want you to know that I miss you SO much... Your birthday is just around the corner and you know that will always be a special day for me. What do you think of everything that has changed? Crazy huh? I'm in shock myself. Life is amazing and it makes me really sad that your not here with me anymore... I pray that everything goes well on the 31st. Got the day off! I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS but I love you even more.

May 2, 2006

Hmmmmmm....... Balloons, Cake, Candles, Presents lots and lots of presents if only dreams could come true. Special, special, special were each and every birthday. You appreciated each and everyone even if I didn't go all out something somehow had to make it special for you. (Well ok maybe we went overboard a tiny bit when Maria and Nicco and I woke you up at 6 in the morning. If only I got that look on tape. Gosh that made me so mad not to have that!) But it's forever in our hearts and when we want to laugh or smile we can just close our eyes and see that Gosh Horrible look of terror as we busted into your room that 16th year of life.

Maybe a hug for Grandma this year huh Jessi, I know having you on her birthday made her really happy but now she won't even recognize her birthday any more without you. So hows about it? Maybe?

And look at Nicco wow 17 already crazy right? Maybe I can do something special for him what do you think?

Well I better close this letter to you I feel the ole eyeballs starting to swell.

Just remember babygirl no matter what we ever went through in life I know it's all been forgiven in death. Eternal hugs and billions of kisses an eternity of just the "Good Times" I can't wait.

I love you tooooooooo much

Bestest Friends Forever

Hi Baby,

Well another perfect Mass from Father Richard and yes his eyes all aglow from the crowded church. (You really can pack em in there huh?)(Smile)

Your day was beautiful & your friends are even more beautiful. You know you always wanted Stephanie and Evelyn to be close and you did that babygirl they are like your two older sisters and that is so beautiful to see how they share so many memories of you and no one can ever change that. You know its funny because I used to say your brothers gave me those girls but in actuality you did Jessi you are the one that brought the closeness and love between us together. When I think back on all the crazy times we had together one of those girls were usually around with you making me laugh or touching my heart with a surprize (Please Birthday Breakfast in Bed is not included!(smile))

Thank you Jessi for leaving me the girls I need them.

You know another thing that I did at the Cemetery on Tuesday? I looked around and seen so much love there for you it's amazing and wow to see Nicco there thats too much love, that took alot for him to do and I love him so much for it keep staying next to him I know hes gonna do great with his life.

And how about your other family? The whole family was there I bet you were doing cartwheels to see all of them there for you huh? There is alot of love there for you babygirl Ma & Pa miss you just as much as I do I see it in their eyes you were their daughter too and that is so beautiful to know that they helped to make you the person you were growing to be. I give a big thank you kiss and hug to the Mendez family I feel so much of you and Maria when I go to their house, it's as if you and Maria were truely sisters. I feel you there.

You know when it rained that night, I sat by the frontroom window thinking what a beautiful day we had and how happy you had to have been to see everyone together for you, but all of a sudden when it rained, I felt so sad because all I could think of was you crying because you missed everyone. You know each person that you gave the opportunity to let them into your life, you left them with a piece of you. Each person that knows you has everlasting memories that you made special for them and that is so remarkable baby. That day I looked at each of your friends and I could see you in all of them. Even Andrew I wish you would have had more time with him. I know you guys would have gotten alot closer now that you have the same friends that is so cool to hang out with your family something you always wanted.

Maria, Tina and Cory are the hardest to look at because when I see them I still look for you. Thank you Jessi for leaving me with the most beautiful people in the world to share you with. You chose your friends so wisely and they are really good people to know because they love you mama and forever I will see you in their eyes, hear you in their voices & stories and I doubt it very much if any one of them will ever forget you.

I know I shouldn't blame the Easter Bunny for what happened but the thought of Easter kills me it's like I have to relive your death twice for some reason and the hardest is Easter. I hide from everyone and everything that day, but I made a promise to Father Richard I promised him that I would go to the Easter Mass that he is having for you at 9:00 a.m. you see even Father Richard can't forget you. Do you realize how special you are? God Bless you babygirl & look for me in church.

I love you Jessica Emily and thank you so much for not leaving me alone.

Mom

April 11th wasn't so bad. I felt sad but you've mad me stronger. I can do it! As we get ready for Easter is when it gets hard for me. April 11th is just another day... That Easter morning will NEVER be forgotten. The baskets, the eggs, all that stuff. It has a different meaning now. The day that Jesus came and took you away. Life is not the same. Never will be without my Sissi Poo!

I miss you ALOT!

April 6, 2006

Hi Babygirl!

It's me!!!!!!

Missing you sooooooooo much.

I had to go through some of your things the other day to get a few things for next week and I pulled out your journal that you wrote for me when you were in Puerto Rico with Maria that one year and it took me pretty much the entire day to read the whole thing but I did. It was something that hurt so bad to read because part way through it well kinda like the 4th page is where you starte writing how much you missed me and by the 6th page I could feel your tears for me. By the 8th page I could feel your longing for me and it tore me apart because to think what a 2 week vacation did to us and our hearts, how could 2 years come and go and not to even be able to have a phone call or a letter or a touch or a smile.

But anyways...........

I love you!

Hay Jessie,



Its been a while, but I've been extremly busy with school, work, and the baby. Hes getting so big. You see him? Hes amazing as always. I was looking at my pictures that I had taken at my birthday party at Smith last year. And Neca had your t-shirt on. It just brought back so many memories.... I know that I didnt know you as well as most of your friends, but what I did get to know of you will always be cherished!

Remember me, and know that you will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Your Friend,

Yessenia
