To say that Jess was one of a kind does not do her justice. She was one of those people who seemed to always know exactly who she was (even when we were teens), felt comfortable in her own skin, and lived her life on her terms. She was the first person to teach me what friendship without judgment looked and felt like, at a time in my life when I needed it the most. She loved big and was fiercely loyal, and oh how she could make me laugh. Belly aching, cheeks hurting, tears streaming down your face kind of laughter. She will be so missed.

I still tell the story from almost 20 years ago, when we went to the movies to see Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. About an hour into the film we turn to each other and say, “are they going to talk like this for the whole movie?” We burst out laughing so hard, if it weren’t the middle of the day and the theatre completely empty there is no question we’d be asked to leave. We couldn’t make eye contact for the rest of the day.

Or the time I was heading home the night, as I walking out the door of their Newton apartment I said, “bye, talk to you later.” And Jasmine, who wasn’t even talking yet waved and said, “bye, talk to you later!” We spent the next two hours trying to get Jasmine to repeat something, anything we said again, to no avail.

She was just so easy to be with. So much fun. But she was also there in those moments that weren’t fun, when you needed a friend and didn’t have much to give in return. Like when I spent two days in her bed in so much pain, and she took care of me. She even called my doctor to make sure I had what I needed.

I’m so sad that Jasmine and Desii won’t have her with them as their children grow.

You’re so loved, and so incredibly missed already. Thinking of you always, Jess ♥️♥️

Jessica:

We simply never got to know each other; but I knew your mother Diane fairly well. She would defend you till the end when ever any body threatened or commented about you.
I knew your father too; he seemed okay on the few times we ran into each other.

We all have regrets and failings; they're what make us human.

Melinda: I only met Jessica a few times when you two were very young . I do remember her to be very outgoing. I am very sorry for her passing far before her time. Manny and I are thinking of you at this most unbearable time. Remember Jessica at your most happy thoughts. It may take some time but it will come eventually and at that time you will cherish those memories

Jess was like a second mom to me in middle/high school Jasmine and I were in separable and she always welcomed me into their home. There are no words to describe the sadness this has brought. I wrote a poem for Jess and her family.

It is true
that there was no one like you
And may never be
Forever we will try
To understand why
You had to leave
We will cherish our time
Always on our mind
Your spirit stays free
For the love that you gave
Made your kids feel so brave
And I hope that they will see
That you are here beside them
To have no fear and guide them
As they navigate each day
Stay true to yourself
Because anything else
Will not matter when you’re old and grey
We can find a bit of peace
With acceptance and at ease
You lived your best life each day
In the moments we that feel you
We know it is the real you
And Remember it will all be okay

Rest in Paradise

Jess, I'm devastated to hear of your passing. You and I became fast friends and I will miss you everyday. We hadn't seen each other in the last few years but we always talked about making plans and getting together. My heart hurts that we never got that chance again. If I would have known a few years ago was the last time I'd see you, I would have hugged you longer and a little tighter. You were a unique soul that brightened any room you were in. Always fun loving and caring. I will truly miss you. I love you, Jess. R.I.P
