The loss of Jessica truly saddens the heart. Her congenial spirit, encompassing kindness, and loving nature imprinted on everyone she met. The cherished memories of our close companionship during elementary and middle school times remain vivid and comforting during this heartbreaking moment. May her virtuous soul find eternal peace.

Some say that you die twice. First when you leave this earth, this conceptual reality. The second is the last time someone mentions your name and carry’s your legacy and your lessons.
People come and go within our lives and there’s no control over that, but the love they give us and the things that you learn from them stay forever.
I’ve never seen someone fight as many battles as my mother has. She has always struggled so hard to be the person she wanted to be, but never was able to achieve what she truly wanted. Mental illness is commonly overlooked by people who don’t deal with these immense struggles and difficulties in life.
Most people will never experience rock bottom and heart shattering pain that you can’t recover from. I want everyone in this room to realize no matter what struggles you deal with in life. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, your relationships with your friends family, and lovers are the most important things in life and do your best to never take them for granted. This world owes you nothing, you can loose everything you have ever known in a snap of a finger. You are truly lucky to be here today and have the chance to make a decision and manifest anything you believe in.
My mom was one of the craziest, goofy, over enthusiastic, and at times annoying people I’ve ever met. she was deep and complex, and hard to handle. It was hard for her to have control over her emotions but our good memories will forever take me so far in life.
At her true best all she really was is a care giver, someone who would do anything for you to make sure you were okay even if it made her life more difficult. She was definitely a mama bear, if you fucked with her kids or her family I would recommend walking away. She was the coolest, she could be down to earth and an open minded person. She was open to opinions and new ideology. I taught her a lot about life because we kinda grew up together in a way. She always wanted to have fun and make the best of every moment she could control, I can relate to that so deeply, I genuinely believe everyone should enjoy and cherish every second on this planet because you’ll never know when it will be your last.
My mom and grandma loved me more than anyone on this planet and I hope they know I’ll never take that love for granted because I don’t know if I’ll ever find a love like that again. The past few years she always loved to remind me on how I saved her, and that her kids were her purpose in this world.
Well mom you may not thinks so but everything worked out because all your children are amazing with good hearts, good intentions, healthy and have a fighting chance at whatever future they want.
My mom dealt with the same struggles as I do, such as trying to figure out how to be more responsible and get our shit together and do the best we can for the people around us even when you’re fighting such hard battles on the inside.
I’ll never hold any resentment for my mother for anything she’s ever done in my life. Without her I wouldn’t be here, she brought me into this world, put clothes on my back, made sure I had food, and always found a way to give me everything I ever needed. She had so much love in her heart so much spirit and I’m so happy she’s at peace and doesn’t have to carry the pain and weight that she’s had on her shoulders for countless years.
I will forever tell our stories and memories together till the day I die so she will live on in my heart and into the hearts of the people who are a part of my life. I encourage everyone here to cherish every memory with the loved ones in your life and make memories you won’t forget. Be kind to people. You never truly know what someone is going through. Do you best to live your life as if It could be your last day.
Mom I wish you knew how much I love you. I pray that your spirit is at peace.
Your son, Tyler
