Jessica left this world on the wings of an angel to be with God. She was our beautiful princess. We were blessed to have had her in your lives for 16 years.

She gave us joy and love beyond all reason. We will hold her in our hearts forever. She will be with us always.

Our Jess was loved by all those that surrounded her in her life. She was a warm loving caring child with a great sense of humor. She fought a valiant fight throughout her life. She will now be able to rest.

Jessica attended Del City Elementary and Kerr Jr. High. She was active in fast pitch softball where she pitched and played second base. We know she is now in heaven where she can run with joy again.
