Winter, Ryley and Justice. Jessie's Children
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kayla and I am setting up this fundraiser for Jessica's three kids, Winter (11), Ryley (14) and Justice (16). For everyone that knew Jessie her children were her pride and joy. We are all in complete shock of the devastating news and would like to help her children and family during this difficult time. Jessie was one of the friends no matter how much time has passed it was as if you had just seen her. She would give the shirt off of her back for anyone and we owe it to her to come together and do the same. The funds will help the family with funeral expenses as well as help her three children with any of their needs.

This post is extremely difficult to write but I finally feel like I can do it. My sister Jessie passed away unexpectedly some time between Friday night and Saturday morning. At this point we don't know exactly what happened to her but we think that it was due to her chronic health issues that she suffered from. We won't have any answers for at least three months when the results of her autopsy is given to us. We as a family are completely shattered. This came out of no where and we are navigating this tragic event one day at a time. The kids are trying to process what has happened but they are being strong. My sister would be so proud of them. Thank you to everyone that has reached out. I haven't responded because it is just to hard to at this time. I will say that it is a testament to who my sister was because people have reached out from all over the US telling us how loved she was and asked how they could help her kids. There is a gofund me that was set up to help pay for cremation costs and also to help with the kids. We are also in the process of planning a celebration of life that we are going to schedule for her birthday weekend. Anyone that wants to come it will most likely be on May 25th here in Florida. We decided to wait until then so that people from other states can prepare to come if they want to. Thank you guys for all the kind words. Please continue to share pictures and stories of Jessie. Even though it is hard to see her smiling face on the screen knowing that I am not going to be able to see her again in this life, it does warm my heart knowing that she has touched so many lives. Please continue to pray for us and her children as we prepare to do this life without her. We as a family are completely shattered and only time will heal these wounds. God bless everyone that is praying for us.
