You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Man do I wish we had met Marcos & Jessie sooner, but I will always treasure the great times we spent with Jessie. She was the sweetest soul who made everyone around her a better person. My favorite Jessie story has to be the first time my wife and I got to spend time with Marcos & Jessie together. I was no stranger to the Sanchez house- there have been numerous times where I interrupted Marcos & Jessie’s TV time on a Friday or Saturday night, but this was the first time we were all together. We were going to go to a bar, but we decided some time in the new backyard would be more fun. We spent hours together on the patio and in the kitchen talking and sharing stories. It was such a great night that we will never forget. We will forever be grateful that Jessie was able to be at our wedding. All of these memories are so close to our hearts. We send our love to Marcos, Chris, Estela, Emilia, & Max as well as the rest of their family.

Love always,

Carl & Mere

I met Jessie when we were literally next-door neighbors in the old neighborhood apartment building, with our tiny firstborn toddlers...our Friendship was instant and We both became family & shared much treasured times; as Freinds- as young moms with our children,  with our husbands, the challenges of being working moms,  and our lives...

Our life paths have since moved us to different places...But Jessie is Forever in our Hearts, as are you Marcos, and Children, and Family.. 

Our deep love and condolences are with You All...

Jessie truly made this World a better and more beautiful place...

She is so very much missed... and So very much Loved...

Always,

Lisa, Will & Lily Cook
