From Jessica's Facebook page:
To the dear friends of Jessica, today she lost her long battle with cancer. Surrounded by her family, she passed on and is now watching over Lilliana and the rest of us from heaven. Please keep Lilliana in your thoughts and prayers.
Jessi's Family
I know I'm not alone, but my heart is breaking. She didn't expect this... far from it; she was hopeful, always so very hopeful.

Re: Jessica Smith
We have another angel watching over us. My prayers go out to Jessie's family and Lilliana.
Her sister called me yesterday and left me a voicemail saying she was not expected to make it through the night. Her Mom contacted the cancer support group that Jessie and I belong to, to let us know, They are supposed to let us know when the services are. I will post it as soon as I hear. I'm sure someone in her family may post something more on here later. Gloria

Re: Jessica Smith
So very sad. I seem to remember Jessica wanting to fight so hard so her daughter wouldn't be left without a mom.....

This is what I feared. I was so concerned when she did not post again. What a sad day! Cancer is unfair. I feel so bad that her beautiful little girl lost her momma! Jess will certainly be missed here!! Rest in peace Jess!

Re: Jessica Smith
Damnit! I just saw the status update and even though I was half expecting it, I was not prepared. My heart is breaking for her family and for Lilliana and I have no words to express the pain this brings me and all the rest of us. She was such an amazing mother and person. All that she sacrificed for her daughter and all her fighting to spend as much time with her as possible...I am truly grieving...I am going to miss her so much!
