It has been 6 years today since we all lost Jade. I say "we all" because whether you met her or not this world lost someone who was truly the best person in it. This day 6 years ago when I was 12 is the worst day, I've experienced even now at 18 it still is. 
Jade I'm 18!! I heard this song about a year after Jade had passed that said 
"So, I will keep you, day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us"
I promised myself that from that day on that my life is not only mine, but I will live it for both Jade and I. Everything I do is for her. So, Jade WE turned 18!! 
I love Jade so much, my love for her has never once wavered. I miss her so immensely it hurts so bad every single day. She was the person who was so kind to me in a time all I needed was for someone to be kind to me. Now, she's my best friend and someone who I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I love you so much Jade. Anyone who is struggling today you are not alone; Jade is someone how deserves to be missed. The last thing I'll share is a quote from a song that Jade and I listened to over and over, whenever we hung out or we were on Facetime this song played at least once. I love you Jade and I miss you so dearly. 💙🐰🌈

"I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met an angel in person, and she looks perfect tonight."

Our granddaughter, Jade, was the most remarkable, kind, compassionate, thoughtful young lady.  The pride we have always had in her will be forever in our hearts and minds.  The last three years since Jade entered the Heavenly World, has been so heart wrenching, missing her every moment of every day---never ever missing a day she isn't thought of with such a heavy heart.  The memories of Jade will always be intact and cherished.  Your children should not have to face the trauma of losing their child, nor should we ever have to experience the loss of a grandchild, niece, cousin, friend---Jade was all that and more to all of us who loved and knew her.  With all my love, sweet Angel Jade, I miss you and love you more than these words can convey.

Jade and me met in the first grade we where always playing together but she moved we didn’t hangout as much I always talked about her to my mom asking to see if she can hangout then one day when it was take your child to work day my mom took me she said she had a surprise for me I immediately thought it was a dog. She kept denying it once we got there mom pointed to. Girl who look familiar I asked who that was she said it was jade I almost started crying I ran up to her and gave her a hug I said hi to her dad to and after that we started talking again we couldn’t always hangout because she lived far away but we acted like we never stopped talking the day when I heard jade had died was the worst day in my life i couldn’t stop crying and to this day I still can’t stop crying I still talk to dena and I wish I could give them a big hug and dena if you are reading this and you’ve been texting I’ve been grounded 🙃 I miss and love you guys so much💕💕💕💕

  Love

It’s been almost a year since Jade has passed, we were at the peak of our friendship around this time last year, she was the only person I talked to all summer,  we would FaceTime very very often, she made that summer one to remember forever. I’ve always been a shy kid and making friends is hard for me. when I met and got close with Jade she welcomed me with open arms, we bonded over how alike we were, we liked the same music the same influencers and had the same humor. It was astonishing how alike we were. I made so many close friends through her. One day in summer she made this random group chat where I met some of my favorite people in the world. I considered her one of my best friends. I’m very thankful I got to know and be close friends with the Jade Perkins. 

Yesterday was Jade's birthday and I felt my chest lock when I remembered her smile.
Jade was an amazing person to be around and I can't even begin to describe how many times she made me laugh.
I remember the fun we had during science class when we'd show each other memes in the beginning of the day. I always felt that the day would always begin well with her seated next to me.
We always hung out together when we were invited to a party and sleepover. We hung out all night watching My Hero Academia videos. It felt so nice to hang out with someone with such light radiating from them. 
I'm so glad I was able to spend such an amazing year with her and I'm so happy that she was such a great gift to many.
Jade will always live in our hearts and we will never forget the times we have spent with her.
Thanks.

Jade was one of my closest friends. Today is her birthday and it was very hard on me and her friends. We spent our lunch hour talking about her and then Lennon shared a personal story about how she felt when she passed. That got us all sobbing. We all love Jade so so so so so so much, and we all miss her to the moon and back and way more than that. She was the one who stood up for me while I was being bullied. She was the one that always made me laugh. We were supposed to have german together. I loved her so much, and I'm praying for her family. We miss you.😭💔💕💕💕💕

Jade was a extremely awesome person. Her birthday is tomorrow, so her friends, my friends as well, and I will be having a small memorial. I am very sorry for everyone's loss. She will forever be in out hearts.

One of the most important thing we would do for each other is just give each other things. Almost everyday, I would give her a cookie and she would tell me a joke. It was practically our little tradition.

I knew Jade through her cousin Kallie and I had the pleasure of meeting her a few times, and even though I didn't know her very well, she was always awesome to be around. She was so sweet, funny and kind and she will never be forgotten

Dear Perkins Family, 

I hope you all are doing well. Personally, I've known Jade since kindergarten. We were really good friends through elementary but we got separated through middle school. She was always so loving and she'd always manage to put a smile on peoples' faces. She was a generally fun person  to have around. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that she's in a better place now with love and happiness. 

I send you my regards, 
Alicia Almanza

I attempted to share our memories on one of the foam hearts supplied at the Hyatt, however there just wasn't enough room for everything we wanted to say. I heard my own thoughts &  feelings being conveyed as I listened to your amazing family describe your beautiful Jade.

We always knew she was special. Our entire family noticed. Jade was one of a kind. Her golden heart shined through so strongly that it even gave a golden glow to her gorgeous green eyes, her radiant skin tone & her gorgeous thick hair. Her beauty, inside & out, was striking. 

It only makes sense that a heart that pure was meant for so much more than any of us could have ever imagined. Jade was graced with the ideal family.  You helped care, nurture and carve her beautiful soul into the perfect angel she was.

Craig & Danae, our hearts go out to you. We're constantly thinking of you . Wishing you feelings of comfort, hope in the midst of sorrow, moments of peace, and memories of joy.

Dear Perkins family,
I am so sorry for your loss.I have known Jade since first grade.I know it is hard to lose a loved one but she is in a better place now with no pain.It hurts to know that she is gone, but she will never be forgotten.I hope you all feel better soon.

Dear Perkins family,
I’m so sorry for the sudden passing of your sweet Jade. I never got the honor of meeting Jade, but she became friends with my daughter Lennon in 6th grade at Century. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to you two for raising such a kind, caring, friendly young lady.  Jade came into Lennon’s life at exactly the moment Lennon needed her.  Although their friendship was short it is a friendship Lennon will cherish for her entire life.  I pray somehow you are able to find peace in you sorrow. Lennon and our entire family have been praying for you nightly and sending you our love.  Please let us know what, if anything we can do to help ease your pain. 

Dear Perkins family, we are so very sorry to hear about Jade. She was a darling young lady with the sweetest disposition.  Our hearts are grieving with you as we send prayers for peace.  
Much love, 
Barb and Dave 

Two years ago Jade became one of my daughter's first friends in martial arts. The two were adorable together especially when they were getting called out on their shenanigans. When Jade moved into the advanced class she was missed but my daughter still had hugs for her when she would see her. News of Jade's passing was devastating. Our hearts and prayers are with her family.
