  5. Jess you lit up the world with your infectious laugh and gorgeous smile!
    You were a beautiful woman who always had time to sit & chat with your children’s friends and always so interested in everything we were doing.
    (I remember how devastated you were when the dog took a bite out of my new skirt, when you lived in Norman Street!! )
    There will be many gardens that will miss you, but will live on for many years because of you.
    Jess you will be loved and missed by so so many.

They say you reap what you sow and Jessica sowed beautiful seeds to make such a loving family and reaped with their respect and care of their wonderful mum. Know that so many persons and friends will be thinking of you all and have you in their prayers.

  29. To 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
