My sweet Jessica,
I don’t even know where to begin. I am so unbelievable saddened by this while trying to remember our happy fun childhood memories at the beach, Sea World, Grandpa Bill and Grandma Donna’s pool, as well as our happy adult memories.
Remember when my Dad put me in time out and you came over, sat next to me and kindly told me not to worry and don’t be so mad at my Dad but to remember “you’re not in trouble for what you said, it’s how you said it.” I still think about that. You were my cousin but you always acted like a big sister to all of us, mentoring us and helping us.
We just had that crazy Hurricane Milton and you messaged me and asked me and Brad to come up and evacuate to MS so you would know that we were safe in your house and out of harms way. I told you we had already made plans to go somewhere in Pensacola. Looking back, I wish to God we came there. I don’t believe I could have changed anything but we could have got to have that one last trip together. 💔
I still look at our other messages where we don’t say anything but “I love you and miss you Cuz” / “I love and miss you too Cuz”.
Yes, we had our ups and downs but what family didn’t. I’ll miss you terribly and be upset at this senseless tragedy for a while but I’ll treasure our happy times and try to honor your beautiful legacy the best way I can.
Give my Dad, Your Dad, and our Aunt Debbie big hugs from us. We will see you soon. Also, come to me in my dreams and let me know if there’s Tito’s in heaven.
Love always and forever,
Cory

Jessica was so fun to work with, she always had such a light that drew people to her. I met her when I was 15/16 working at Mom’s. Eventually she got to meet my kiddos and I’d run into her once in a while in Wichita. I loved her no BS attitude and she always had a hug for me no matter how long it had been since we’d seen each other. Lots of love to her family, I truly cherish the time I got to spend with you all as a teen and the positive impact it made on me. <3

Such a beautiful soul, awesome friend and amazing person... When we were teenagers we found ourselves blessed to be able to go through a tough time in both of our lives together. I'm so grateful we had each other to lean on.... and we had A LOT of fun together too... before, after and during all that! I remember you playing "The Rose" by Bette Midler on the piano for the little old lady named Pearl at the hospital we were both at. That song has and will always make me think of you, only now it will make me cry but that's ok cause I know you'll be watching over me and we can sing it together. I will cherish that forever... Love you sis

Wish I would have got to see you again Jess. I will cherish all the time we got to spend together. It has been a long time since I saw you but you have always been a best friend to me. We would just pick up right where we left off whenever we talked to each other. I miss you so much. Until we meet again.... I love you...

You will be truly missed, I remember you hanging out with all the girls in my neighborhood and kicking it together growing up, you was always there to listen during some hard times and gave great advice in my life when we got older and couldn't never repay that.
because of life we drifted apart these last few years. I Wish Shawnda and I could have had that last visit from you, we had alot to talk about.

Man this is hard for me to write. My condolences to you mama and the family and friends. Boy o boy did we all have a great time working with each other when I started at tanners. You were so kind and so easy to work with. You always had a smile or I'd hear your laughter when you was behind the bar. You was my work sister and ill never forget you. Rest easy my friend/sister till we meet again lov you

Mom, GG and the rest of the family, I am so sorry. Words don’t bring her back but knowing that she is always with you & now watching over you brings some comfort I hope. I love you all very much & am praying for you so hard!
