For Lilliana

Postby jmarie » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:44 pm

We just posted this message on Jessica's facebook, and I thought I would extend the invitation to all Jessi's friends on the colon club that are not on facebook:

"Jessica's family would like to put a book of remembrance together for Lilliana. We want her to know her wonderful mother and would appreciate your help! Please message Jennifer Tong with any memories, funny stories, thoughts or pictures of Jessi that you would like to share with Lilli. Thank you!"

I thought that some of you may have conversations/posts with Jessi that you might like to share with Lilli. For those not on facebook, please message me...I am now registered on the colon club as "jmariesmom".

Thank you so much...love and blessings to all!

This is precious. What a great idea! Even though I'm sure words and pictures can't come close to meeting your wonderful daughter, I hope you get many replies that reflect sweet Jessica and make Lilliana proud to be her daughter.

I hope you are doing well!

Sherri- your message box may be full and you may have to clear it out so that others can be received. Just an FYI. :-)

Here is one of my favorite posts of Jessica's - it shows her indomitable spirit as well as an ability to find humor in a tough situation. I loved this spirit and it is a wonderful excample to Lilli.
