We are blessed and thankful to have met Jess and her beautiful family when they moved to our cul de sac in St. Johns, FL and became part of our “cul de sac crew”. We shared many laughs and fun stories around winter time cul de sac fire pits, enjoyed 4th of July and New Year’s Eve parties that Jess and Kevin hosted, fun holiday get togethers with neighbors in our cul de sac, and just enjoyed being around her. She had a beautiful smile, a contagious laugh, and though life kept us busy, we appreciated when we were able to hang out and catch up. She was so entertaining and fun to hang out with. We’ll cherish the fond memories we have of her. She is dearly missed! Hugs and prayers to her family.

Jess was one in a million. Quick with a joke but never hurtful. Kind but tough. She handled every situation with such ease and grace. I can't remember her ever being rattled. Anyone who knew her was better for it. I know I am. She will be deeply missed. My heart is broken for the entire family.
