Dear Don and Lori,

Words can't fully express the sorrow I feel for the loss of your precious jewel, Jessica.  She was known to be a bright light and someone everyone seemed to adore.  Although I didn't have the privilege to know Jessica, it is clear that she had an enormous impact on all those who knew her.  May her memory be a blessing for all those who knew and loved her.  

My deepest, heartfelt sympathy. 

Beth Morgenstern-Kuhel

Dearest Frankel Family, We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Heartbreaking. You and your family are in our prayers. Sioux and George Oliva III.

Something like this really puts things in perspective and humbles one when  compared  to everday problems.  I believe that her soul lives on however, and that life for her has just transitioned.  She has lost the restraints of bodily limitations and is soaring.

Ronny and I are so deeply  saddened for your loss.  Please accept our deepest most heartfelt sympathies.

The loving support you have all around you, and time, will help you get back to living life again, and hopefully will bring you peace.  I wish there were words to soften this for you, but there aren't.  Jessica is with God now, and there is solace in that.  In sympathy:  Donna and Phil Soroky

A mother and grandmother

Dear Lori,
I know it has been many,many years, but I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time of your life. I received the news about your daughter via Joanne Humphrey and Pam Swing Baller. May your faith and love guide you through this time of grief.

Lori and Don:
I cannot begin to express my sorrow for you.  I remember the countless times watching Jessica and marveling at her determination.  She always had a maturity...a drive that stood out from others.   Sometimes, people who are very competitive, can't "turn it off."  Jessica could...and did. She supported everyone and had a smile everytime I saw her.  She always wanted to win, but she cared for her team...for her friends..for her family. Those days sitting in the Elite Gymnastics room seem like yesterday - I remember them so vividly.  As parents, you were nothing but kind and supportive of all the girls.  
Simple words cannot express how saddened I am by what has happened.  I hope and pray that your love of God can help you persevere.

We are so sorry for your loss.  We pray that family and faith will help sustain and comfort you during this time of grief.

Our deepest sympathies to you.

It is unimaginable for me to even consider such enormous grief. 
May G-d cradle you in His loving arms and give you the strength to put one foot in front of the other in the days, months and years to come.
May you feel His love and grace, dearest family, as well as the love and support of those around you.

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathy

I can not imagine the pain you are suffering as you grieve the loss of your child. She was so beautiful. Please know I will continue to pray for you both and her brother. I believe Jessica is now a beautiful guardian angel and you will see her again.

Although I do not know you, I am praying peace during this most tragic time for your entire family.  May she rest in eternal peace....

Dearest Lori, Don and family:
There are no words to comfort you today.  I only pray you find solace in the loving arms of each other, and of those who surround you, embrace you, and hold your hands.  May G-d give you strength and guide you through to a new way of life and living; and may you find peace with that new way...as you embrace the memories of your most beautiful daughter.  With deepest sympathy.

Lori,
Terry just shared the sad news with us, we are so sorry.

Love

Dear Don & Lori,

I remember Jessica as a beautiful, cheerful, talented girl. After seeing some of her Schechter friends over the past two days, their overwhelming sadness, grief and shock, it is obvious that she was even more beautiful on the inside.

Rest In Peace Jess.

Love,
