Felt drawn  / Jessica Scurock(Leonard)

I also felt drawn to leave a message my deepest condolences go out to Jessica's family.  I didn't know her at all but I came across this doing a google search my maiden name is Jessica Leonard and my mother's middle name is Rene.  Not just that I was born Nov 15th.   I know it is hard for this family to get past this loss and I wander why today of all days i decided to do a search and came across this.  I really hope Jessica had a wonderful life while she was here and again my deepest condolences go out to family, friends and anyone who knew her.  Thank you for the opportunity to leave this message.

An angel?  / Jessica Leonard (None)
My name is also Jessica Leonard and I found your site doing a search.  I felt a bit drawn to write because I have the same name as your daughter and friend. I too grieve the loss of twins and so I understand the heavy sadness.  I wanted to share something with you that I have found. It's a wonderful healing therapy that I hope you will try to use.  It is called eft (emotional freedom techinque) It is great.  I hope you will search it online and figure a way to allow it to help you.  Anyway, I feel a bit of a strange connection to you and your daughter, maybe it's because of the same name thing.  I am sorry for your loss and hope you will find a way to heal.  

Sincerely, 

Jessica Close

I'm so sorry  / Megan (we never met-but I lost my friend in a car accident )
Hey there,
My name is Megan and I lost my friend Laura Sweatt in a car accident on June 30, 2005 at 5 p.m. I know what you all must be going through, for I myself stumbled upon this website after looking for an internet support group. I just wanted to express my grief for Jessica, for by the looks of it, this world has lost a beautiful, bright young woman. However, her legacy is obviously still living on through the ones who loved her so much. I wish you all the best in your journey through healing, and if anyone ever wants to talk I'm always here :)
                                   All my love
                            Megan
God bless laura and jessica Close

A Christmas Missed  / Allan Leonard (Dad)
Jessica you are missed by so very much by your Mom, Melissa, and I this holiday season. You have been in our our thoughts and our conversations these past few days. We all wished we could bring you back here to be with us. Josh Maggard drew a very good picture of you and I on our jet ski for my Christmas present. You would like the picture very much. I hung the picture right next to my desk in the great room. One day we all hope to see and be with you again. Life is just not the same with out you here.

Love Forever,
Dad Close

Happy Birthday  / Patricia Leonard (Mother)
My little angel would have been 23 on November 16, 2006.  Needless to say I was in no shape to write anything that day but I just want to let everyone know that my baby will never be forgotten.  It has been one year today since she left us and the pain is just as strong now as it was then.  Someone asked me the other day how you ever get over something like that.  My reply:  "You NEVER get over it."  You just have to take one day at a time and be thankful for what you still have.  Had I not had my husband, Allan, and other daughter, Melissa, I would have just taken my life as the pain is so deep that you can hardly bear it sometimes.  Jessica, you were our little angel and the sun always shined when you were near.  Happy Birthday BooBoo.  I miss you baby. Love forever and a day, Mamasita Close

Someday... / J. Todd (A friend I never met )
I never got to meet you, but I know both of your parents. I can only imagine how wonderful a person you were, having been raised by two of the most loving, accepting, happy, and good natured people I've ever called my friends.

My daughters are six and four months, and I cannot imagine life without them. I see what Patty and Allan are going through, and I can hardly bear the tiny fraction of their pain that I share... it's overwhelming to even imagine going through it.

I will cherish every day God gives me with my family, and I pray for your sweet loved ones left down here as they go on with their lives, secure in the promise of a loving God that they will see you, hold you, and smell your hair again someday... in a better place. Close

My Angel at the top of the tree  / Patricia Leonard (Mother)
Jessica, You were my little angel at the top of the tree.  You always knew what to say whenever I was down and I always felt good being around you.  You were my little "BooBoo" and I miss you dearly.  With every day that goes by, I feel a greater loss.  I love you so much and long to hold and kiss you.  I can still smell your hair and hear your sweet giggle.  You will forever be in my heart.  I wish it had been me instead of you in the car wreck.  You had just begun your life and had touched the lives of so many in such a short period of time.  This world needs more angels like you.  You will never be forgotten.  I love you, Mamasita Close

Thinking of you  / Melissa Smith

Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26

Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.

Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa

Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand.

Dear Friends In Grief...  / Melissa Smith

The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

Because the Lord has anointed me to

Preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the broken-

hearted,… to comfort all who mourn,…

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

Instead of ashes, the oil of gladness

instead of mourning, and a garment of

Praise instead of a spirit of despair.

Isaiah 61: 1-3

God will heal our pain. He will heal you.

He will guide you as you reaffirm yourself

without your loved one in the new life

he has given you in Christ Jesus.

Dear friends, I am sorry for not visiting

Daily, as I have in the past. Please know

that I have not forgotten you or your loved

Ones. I am still having a lot of pain in my hands,

arms, and neck. I am to have surgery on my

Wrist March 13th. Maybe then I can type

again without my hands going numb.(wish it

was my heart that was numb) Again, please

know that you are always in my thoughts,

heart, and prayers. In Christian Love, Melissa.

"Sweet Jessica"  / Chance Eastridge (Friend)

I loved her like she was my sister.

There are no words to say how I miss her.

No one else has her spirit,

You didn’t even have to be near her to feel it.

 

She was an angel to us who loved her.

She was so special there was no one above her.

She was a role model for me and for you.

I hope my guardian angel is named Boo Boo.

 

When I think of her it brings me tears.

But to know she’s looking down on me, takes away my fears.

I can remember her singing when she was only eleven,

I hope to hear her sweet voice when I see the gates of Heaven.

 

Giving her body back to the earth was an honor for me,

But at the same time it was the hardest thing I ever had to see.

She was so beautiful I don’t dare to compare.

I guess an angel so beautiful belongs up there.

 

Why she had to go so early I’ll never understand.

I guess up in Heaven, angels are on high demand.

I love her family like they were my own.

I hope they can forgive me for ever doing them wrong.

 

Sweet Jessica, it was an honor to be like your Brother.

Sweet Jessica, please watch over your Father, Sister, and Mother.

 

I love you Jessica, and may you rest in peace.

In a land of beauty and happiness.

My Angel Jessica  / Allan Leonard (Dad)

I miss you more and more as each day passes. My hopes and dreams shattered for all time by your early departure. Each and every day I think about the many fun times we spent together on the lake riding the waves on our jet ski. The fun times we all had going on trips to the beach and at last our London trip in October 2005. I am very thankful for all of the times we all as a family got to spend together. We all miss you singing and playing your guitar. Thank you for the tapes and dairies that you left for us to be able to listen and remember. Your beautiful smile, your heart, and personality were what made you an angel. You brightened up our days even when things were not going right. Thank you Jessica for all the great memories.

 

Love,

Dad Close

I'm so sorry...  / Amy Vance
HB told me the sad news last night.  What a terrible loss for your family and the world.  She was such a sweet, beautiful person.  A free spirit, but firmly grounded in maturity.  I can't begin to understand how you must feel.  Just know that even though we're far away, you're in our thoughts and prayers.  I'm so, SO sorry.

Seeing Past Today  / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of-.com (none)
If we could see beyond today
As God can see,
If all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows flee;
Over present grief's we would not fret,
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me.
If we could know beyond today
As God doth know,
Why dearest treasures pass away,
And tears must flow;
And why the darkness leads to light,
Why dreary days will soon grow bright,
Some day life's wrong will be made right,
Faith tells us so.
If we could see, if we could know
We often say,
But God in love a veil doth throw
Across our way.
We cannot see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more,
He leads us till this life is over,
Trust and obey. Close
