Jessie, you made an indelible impression on all our lives. You were the most brilliant sister, godmother, cousin and niece. You will live on in our memories and through your beautiful daughters Starla and Aquila.

Our loss is definitely the Angels’ gain, and we can see you now teaching them to dance. We love you to the moon and back, and round again. We are all so desperately heartbroken to lose you.
