Her circle of friends and extended family was a cherished part of her life, and she took great pride in celebrating milestones, offering support, and simply showing up with a smile and open heart.
Even in her passing, Jessica continued to embody the compassion that defined her. Through the gift of organ donation, she gave others the chance to live—a final, selfless act of love that reflects the core of who she was. Her legacy lives on not only in the lives she saved but also in the hearts she touched with her enduring kindness.
