Can't believe it's been a year since Jessica's been gone. I still see her smile and hear her fun remarks! Merry Heavenly Christmas, Jessica! ☃️🌟🎄
#gonebutnotforgotten 🌹💖

It  has been a year now since Jessica passed away, and I miss her a lot.  But I think of all the fun things we were able to do together, and all the memories we were able to create!  I was very blessed to have Jessica in my life, and I am thankful for that every day!

Dear Jessica,
We wanted you to come to Japan. And we wanted you to visit many places together. And we wanted you to enjoy many Japanese foods together. And we wanted you to talk a lot together.
But we can meet you someday in the world with no-border.
We will never forget your smile.
All Japanese Iida family

My dearest momma,
Words cannot express the loss I feel.  You are my rock and strength, I will forever be thankful for the moments we have shared with one another.  I thank God for bringing Irwin into your/our lives.  The last 22 years have been the happiest and most fun filled for both of you.  I feel lucky to have witnessed the love between the two of you no matter what the situation.  You will always be forever remembered as the most loving and giving person and I'm honored to be called your daughter.  Fly high momma, run, swim and jump with all your precious angels, until we are together again.  
I love you and miss you,  Lisa Christine


Our father George Iida loved Jessica also. 

Dear Jessica,
I loved your out-going spirit. You made everyone feel comfortable and accepted. You always had a word of kindness and encouragement, thinking the best of others. You were able to lift up our spirits and made us smile with a quick joke or witty comment. 
Thanks for saying things as they are, yet with gentleness and love. And thanks for making us feel so special whether with a generous gift, a delicious meal, a caring conversation, or a quick "take care, I love you."
Your caring, loving, and friendly spirit will always be remembered. I thank God that He brought you into our lives. You definitely are a blessing to us all. Looking forward to seeing you in Heaven. We love you!

Dear Jessica, 
Wow, we sure talked alot on the phone and in person! There's a hole in my heart. Rick and I cherished having you as our "sister". You were so kind and considerate to us, always.  I loved your dry sense of humor and your joking ways.
Most of all you made Irwin the happiest man on earth! Two peas in a pod.  Glad we witnessed a beautiful loving relationship as you and Irwin were the perfect couple for one another. 
Gosh, we will miss you so much. I keep thinking I will see you in your apartment,  popping out of the bedroom, "Hi Rick and Rona!" Your big warm smile, those red lips, always meticulously dressed!
I'll never say good bye but someday will say, "Hello Jessica."
You ALWAYS said " I Love You."  We Love You!
Rick and Rona

I always enjoyed my time with Aunty Jessica. She was so kind and caring, and she had that witty “Iida sense of humor.” I’ll never forget how loved I felt when she encouraged me in my singing and told me that the world is my oyster. I will miss her positive light, but I’m so glad that I got to experience it. <3, Little Jessica

Auntie Jessica,
I will miss our long conversations about life and all the good things around it.  As the "black sheep" of the Iida clan, you ALWAYS made me feel good about myself, you made me feel loved and that I was  okay.  You added so much to our family and you made my Uncle Irwin so happy.  You will be missed horribly Auntie.
May you rest in peace in God's arms.
Forever in my heart.  


My dear sister Jessica, you have been by my side for 73 years. From the beginning we have shared a life time of adventures together with laughter and joy, along with the  tears. Sharing our true thoughts with what life presented to us. I am so grateful to have a precious sister like you honey.  I so much will miss our hours and hours of conversations and our sweet sleepovers for a week at a time laughing into the wee hours.   You have always been such sweet support for not only me, but so many.  With such a beautiful soul inside and out,  sharing your gift of concerns and generosity and love to all of us.    
You and Irwin who were simply made for each other  to enjoy a wonderful union together with so many adventures,  laughter, and excitement and always helping one another in any difficult times . Along with sharing that  sweet excitement with so many others, bringing more joy to their lives . 
  I miss you very much sweet sister. 💞 I love you forever.. Nicki 

Your life together was beautiful to all who know you. May I extend my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. 



Jessica, I will miss your voice of reason along with your joking around at our fun Iida get togethers! Thank you for being so upbeat and encouraging even when you were in pain. 
Rest peacefully now in God's loving arms, my sweet sister in love!
Love & Aloha, 
   Lee Anne 



Dear Jessica you have been a dear friend for over forty years. We had some great times especially on New Year’s Eve. Weddings dinners birth of our grandchildren l could go on forever. I am going to miss you very much. You were a very kind and generous person. I know I will see you again some day until then be with your love ones. 

Thank you, Jessica, for your warm kindness and loving personality. We are blessed that my Uncle Irwin brought you and your family into our lives, and it was a joy seeing how happy you made him. You will be dearly missed.
With fond memories,
Geoff, Tula, and Chloe Iida

Jessica was always so beautiful, inside and out. She always dressed beautifully and brought wonderful insights to conversation. We love you, Jessica.

Jessica will always be in my thoughts. We shared many good times and a few difficult times  over 40+ years  of friendship. 
I will miss her terribly. 

My Dearest Jessica has meant so much to me these past 22 years.  We shared so many memories, travels, experiences, and good times.  We did everything together as she completed my life.  As I look back at our life together, she continues to make me smile, laugh, and appreciate all that we did.

I will miss Jessica dearly, but I have 22 years of fond memories to be thankful for.

Jessica - I Love That You Are My Wife!!!!
