Im so sorry for the loss of Jessica. I had the privilage to know her when she livedin Galveston. We were neighbors for a while and our daughters played together. Know that the she is living eternally with the Lord and watching over allher loved ones. "In my Father's house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." John 14:2-4
