Jessica's bell is F5. When F5 rings, we remember a beautiful, independent, smart, and creative little girl who was always eager to learn new things.
Jessica, often called Jess by her loved ones, was a bold, loving little girl who was the bright spot in the lives of those who knew her. She was independent, and a natural born leader. Her family liked to call her their "little CEO", because she was constantly planning, asking questions, and figuring out the details. She was smart and creative, which made her a good problem-solver.
Jessica's affable nature and loving spirit turned her home into a sanctuary of familial warmth. As an elder sister to her younger brothers, Travis and Austin, Jessica proved to be a protective and caring companion. She extended her love beyond the boundaries of her immediate family, creating a special bond with her Nana, which was nothing short of magical. The emotional wealth Jessica created within her family is a testament to the person she was - caring, nurturing, and filled with affection.
Jessica's world was one of vibrant passions that radiated from her boundless energy. One such passion was her love for horses. Not just a fleeting childhood fancy, Jessica's love for these noble creatures was profound and genuine. Her weekly riding lessons at King's Bridge Farm fueled her passion further, with every session serving to cement her commitment to riding. The innocent yearning she displayed as she expressed her desire to "ride forever" was emblematic of the depth of her love for horseback riding.
Jessica's fascination wasn't limited to the terrestrial. She held a deep, almost scholarly interest in marine life, particularly whales. Her fervor for understanding these majestic creatures of the deep turned her into a dedicated 'researcher,' filling her notebooks with whale facts, drawings, and musings. This love for life and learning that Jessica embodied was a beacon of her effervescent personality.
Jessica will never be forgotten. A bell for Jessica will always ring at Christmas.
