My dearest Jessica,

My sincere, loving thoughts to the King family. You have suffered a great loss.

Like many others say, "You changed my life and me."  I met you during our junior year of college at MUSC.   We were both transfers from Clemson University.  We met in the swimming pool at the ugly cinder block dorm. You were in the pool with a drink and acting pretty wild.  I was drawn to you.  We became best friends very quickly.

I was a quiet, more reserved person.  I didn't know how to let it all hang out until I met you.  Thank you for bringing this joy into my life.

A Few Favorite Memories:
-Going skinny dipping and being pulled over by the police.  We had to lay our clothes on us to "look like we were clothed."
-Eating chicken in the dorm where I ate the cartilage (chicken nubs), and you ate the actual meat.  I grossed you out.
-Going to the bathroom at a dance bar and sitting on the bathroom sink.  The sink fell off the wall and started spraying water everywhere.  I didn't know what to do.  You did.  "Just leave."  And we did.
-Eight weeks in Europe (the Toga party where we were dared to jump in the pool, Spin the Bottle, dancing on table tops, helping me find another lost hotel room key, seeing the sights.
-Fun at our first apartment where I wanted a "weekly chores list," and you didn't.  No chore list was ever made. The all-you-can-eat pizza challenge on the submarine with our Navy neighbors.  We won! Spending all of our money on our first day at the apartment buying clothes at the store down the street.
-Visiting you and Steve in San Francisco.
-Most importantly, laughing and hugging and being together.

I miss you.  You and your zest for life will always be remembered.

Love forever,
Beth

So sorry to hear this news. I know Jessica fought the good fight...and my prayers and best wishes for grace during this time go out to my friend Steve as well as Jessica's siblings Julia  and Gerrit...and especially her two daughters Kathleen  and Julia.

I worked with Jessica at Mission.  She was delightful to be around and I have many fond memories of her.  She loved her family more than anything.  You will not be forgotten, Jessica.
