"Reannan, Carlie, and Joey, I am sorry for your loss and am thinking of you. It is never easy to lose a sibling, especially one so young and full of adventure. Maureen Drees"
"My coworkers and friends at the BCH ER lost a dear friend and coworker. Jess was always kind to me and never made me feel inferior. She always could make me laugh and when she would sing part of a line of a song, I would finish it. I would love when she would show up for her shifts, armed with snacks and her quick wit. She was calm in stressful situations and always so fun to work with. Jess taught me so much in the short year that I got to be a part of her life. I will never forget her and am still in shock that she is gone. I am thinking of her kids and family as they face the road ahead without her. ?? Sending you all love."
"Fly high. You are loved and will be remembered. "
"I am so very sorry to hear this. You have our deepest sympathies and may God be lifting you all up and caring for your needs now until you can see through your tears and remember happier times spent with Jess."
"I am so sorry for your loss Jane, Lilly and family. Are thoughts and prayers are with you guys."
