My Heart is with you sweet Jess. Always has been and always will be. Sing sweetly and dance joyfully on the streets of gold praising our Father. I will keep your smile in the forefront of my mind until I can hug you again. Your loving touch will forever impact this world. I will always be grateful for the help you gave during my darkest motherly/grandmotherly moments. Your loving, encouraging spirit was such a blessing. I was so looking forward to getting together with you, me, Magen and your beautiful mom for that luncheon we talked about. It will make our reunion in heaven that much more joyful. Hug Jesus and my Gran for me and remember that I love you my precious special angel.Â

Words can not express our heartfelt sympathy, but you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you all.
Sending prayers of strength, peace, and comfort. May God wrap his loving arms around your family and guide you through this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Steve and Shirley, Heather and Keith and family. So sorry for your loss.
I’ve known Jessica for just a couple of years, and within that amount of time she was always so so sweet and beautiful! I met her through my brother, they were great friends, and from that point on, it was like I’ve known her for just as long as he had… The last time I had the joy of hanging out with her, she bought me an infinity ring, and I didn’t know how to except it, but now that she’s gone, I can except it with love and care, as a little piece of her… May God bless your family Jessica, and you will be missed!
Farewell love, and you will be missed!Â
God bless all of you and praying for God’s peace and comfort. Marilyn and Joe Ed Johnston

To Jessica’s family. I just heard news and my heart broke. I think of all the time in the gym and the fun we had. I could see her anywhere and she always had that beautiful smile shining bright. I’m sure it’s shining bright as she walks beside our lord. Prayers for you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Â I wish I could have met Jess as this picture reflects her beautiful smile. Â I am a cousin on the Petrovich side and live in San Antonio. Â My Mother was George Torma’s sister (Irene) and I grew up in my younger years with George, Steve and Frank Torma when they lived in St. Louis. Â I am so appreciative that Frank let me know and I will keep Jess and her family in my prayers. Â Diane Alder Doege

So sorry for your loss you are all in our prayers. David Richard and Jo Beth Richard
I offer my deepest condolences to the Reed family on the passing of your loved one. Throughout this pain, Jehovah God understands your loss. Isaiah 25:8 says that “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all facesâ€.
Until those promises are fulfilled, I pray that this scripture brings a measure of comfort to the family during their time of bereavement.
My deepest sympathy for your loss. May you find comfort in Jehovah God’s promise to swallow up death forever and soon end all our suffering. (Rev. 21:3-5; Isa. 25:8) Peace to you during this difficult time.
Psalm 34:18 “God is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
