can't think of anything that's worse than losing a child, and there are many
of us out there who have had to endure this. The only thing that I can say
is that if you ever need a "listener" or a person to whom you could express
your grief, please contact me at

sustain you for the rest of your life. She sounded like a gift from God,
and my heart goes out to all of you.

Dear Debby, Dawn, and the family of Jessica. Your lives were truly blessed
with the too short life of your sweet angel. She touched so many lives and
changed the way people viewed a handicap child.

brings. Our hearts and prayers are with you. I can see Jessica in Heaven
with her big smile and in the loving arms of God.
