Loving thoughts,
Marg WarneTo all loved ones of Jess. What a beautiful lady. I loved the times we shared together… Such an earth mother. To have Jess in your life is indeed a gift. Her presence will live on in everyone Jess touched… I was so proud of the family on the day of her Mass. She would have been so proud of you all. I was pleased I could make it to her celebration.. What a special lady, and now she is in Gods garden with all of those she has loved and lost… Her faith is what made her such a strong, loving positive person…..Love from Joan Blizzard and family…xx
