How lucky are we to have shared part of our lives with such a beautiful soul! So cool, intelligent, fun, accepting, interesting, open-minded, funny, sassy, one-of-a-kind. All that and the biggest heart too!
Jess and I spent a lot of time together in one of the best decades - our twenties - before I moved.  
So many great memories that include:
Lipstick. Enchiladas. Halloween parties. Vegas. Star Trek. Canada. Pet bunnies. Thrift shopping. Smoked salmon. Purple dress. Green kitchen. Red hair. 80s nights. Probiotics. eBay. Costumes. Roulette. Rings. Chicken Bryan. Zip lining. And weddings…
In one of our last messenger conversations she told me that I “deserve to be happy”. She was a genuine friend who always wanted the best for everyone! 

Prayers for Helena and David. My mother also passed too soon (I was 7). I know there’s nothing I or anyone can say that will make it feel better right now. She would want you to be strong but it’s ok to have not so strong days too. That hole in your heart - it can never be filled by something outside of you (trust me I tried many things). But it can be filled by your love. That means you get to keep loving her every day. Love doesn’t need anything, not even physical presence. Love only gives. Fill your heart up and your mother will live on. She lives on in my heart too. 
♥️


I am shocked and sadden by the news that such a bright light has been forever dimmed by a medical emergency. So young and so much more to give. Love and prayers to all that had the pleasure of knowing Jessica.
I first met Jessica as the new "Cleaning Lady" at the company I worked for. Once a week we would exchange some of our life experiences and weekend plans. over time I came to know a very strong and determined independent Woman; Loving Single Mom; Student and entrepreneur. Oh, and don't forget fun loving and tough. a get the job done kind of person.
She loved her children and worked hard to provide the best life she could for them and gave them very a very strong foundation to build their lives on. Helena and David, I have watched you both grow in so many ways over the years, when you came with your mom on cleaning day. At first you sat quietly while your mom did her job. Then you pitched in and helped more and more as you were able. I know it is going to be difficult with such a loss in your life, but please be the best "you" that you can, continue to make Your Mom Proud. 
Jessica, Job well done!

My heart is broken, Jess. The thought of never laughing with you again is inconceivable. I will miss you always 

I know Jessica at work. She is a wonderful person to work with. We just had a nice presentation for the entire group just few weeks back and still cannot digest that she is no more with us. She is very passionate about what she does and kind.  I hope her family gains all the strength to recover her loss and may god be with her family and her soul rest in peace.

What do you do when you hear news of something so shocking it takes your breath away? Share joyful emotions to ease the sorrow. 

I grew up around the corner from Jessica and I always thought she was so cool. An eccentric and rad personality and energy. Her Mother Rosalie was the pillar of cool who was raising a cool daughter. My heart center is feeling so much pain trying to understand why things unfold the way they do in this life. I don’t know. What I do know is this family deserves to be held with the energy of love, inner peace and healing. Jessica was a strong woman and an awesome soul. My deepest love and condolences to Rosalie, those sweet kids, Zack and all of Jessica’s loved ones. 

With Love,
Amber 

Where to begin….we had some fun times Jess!!! The laughter we shared was so genuine, just like you! You were a resilient, motivated individual who did whatever it took to make things happen! Our inside jokes were so stupid and hilarious, and I’ll never forget one moment of the times we shared together! I know you had so much more life to live and I’m so incredibly sorry you were taken so soon. Your memory will live on thru all of us, but especially your children! I’ll never forget you! 

Jessica and me are colleagues for almost 6 months. She is always been a good team player and very confident when she does something. Really, it is shocking to hear!! 
Still can't believe this and I am still waiting to hear from someone that this is a fake news...... :( :(

May her soul rest in peace !!

Rosalie my Heart is broken for you and your family. Terrible tragedy. We LSHS family are here for you. Always remember Jessica Ann will Always be in you Heart Forever...Memories live on. R.I.P. Jessica Ann

We have known to each other;
And worked only a few months together;
I am also like your brother;
Though from a nation that is farther!

You have always been admirable;
Made all your work be adornable;
Leaving your family stranded is, miserable;
God being so cruel is, unacceptable!

Us, in our lives, ride a bumpy road;
In pursuit of chasing a mirage, and soured;
Couldn't believe you hastily hit expiry board;
We cry and mourn as you reach your heavenly abode!

RIP Jessica McKinney


I am extremely sad to hear about Jessica passed away very unexpectedly. Myself and herself worked together for 6-8 months.

Very sad and big setback to her family  members, MAY GOD help on her soul rest in peace and give strength to her family members in settling soon!!!!!



Jessica and I had a class together in high school. We sat near each other and got in some pretty wonderful pre class chats. She was funny in that way that catches you off guard because the humor is so casual. We were not close friends but went on a couple of adventures and she really made me feel like I was part of something cool. This is perhaps a boring memory but even today I am appreciative of her kindness and humor.
