In Glenshields. You were like a sister to me and I told everyone proudly that you were my best friend.. to the Rizzuti family and Thexton family, my deepest condolences to you all and may Jess’s memory forever be a blessing. To Marlene & Salvator, please take care of your health. To Craig and Jess’s beautiful girls, please be healthy, happy & successful in Jess’s memory and sending lot’s of love and hugs. To Jess, you are no longer in pain Bella, spread your wings and protect your earthly family. I Love you so much and miss you, life won’t be the same without you in it.

I remember my cousin Jessica in so many ways—her laughter, her warmth, and the way she would turn even the toughest days into moments of joy. She had a special way of making everyone around her smile, no matter what life threw at us. Together with my sister Stephanie we formed a trio always on a special mission in our backyard and basement — running around, playing Sailor Moon, and making up all sorts of silly games.
Jess would greet us with funny names and sayings. She bonded us. I hear her voice now, calling us “Treech.” Jessica brought us together, tight like glue, and our trio lasted. Brothers Jason and Chris would join in too. We are family and those were happy days.
On my birthday last year Jess and I visited Nonno together. We could feel Nonno’s presence with us. He was smiling down on us. Afterward, we went for coffee at the Mall. We sat, walked, and talked for hours. Then, out of nowhere, she handed me a gift for my birthday — a portrait of a lady with a cheeky grin and we both burst into laughter — it was the silliness of the gift. That was Jess—always finding ways to make me open up, laugh, and share my heart.
Jessica loved animals and she valued the simplicity of wearing old blouses with pride. Art, native crafts, and everything earthy and spiritual spoke to her soul. It was natural for her to meet Craig and form a life and family with him. The indigenous ways of knowing and the history of the ancient lands and people fit her like a glove. She was the kind of person who’d talk to everyone, even strangers, as if they were old friends. With Jess everyone was seen and heard.
Jessica is a loving mother who took great pride in her 3 daughters Autumn, Aura, and Athena. She taught them to be good people and to live good lives. She encouraged them to work hard in school and she encouraged their artistic talents. She would show me their writing and drawings proudly. I remember how happy they were when I came to see them and their school performances. Jessica made sure we were there to celebrate those little moments. Her way was to make everyone special.
Please God, Jessica is a huge loss for all of my family at such a young age. I never could expect this. We are all suffering. There are so many moments I will never forget with her. I thank you for Jessica in my life and I pray to see her in the next life. Jessica was one of a kind—full of life, love, and a spirit that touched everyone she met. I’ll carry her spirit, her laughter, her stories, and her warmth with me always and share them with everyone.
Rest in Peace Jessica
I am so sorry to hear about Jessica’s loss. Jessica was a neighbor and we enjoyed many good and warm conversations in the park near our home. She was always wonderful, kind, easygoing and upbeat, with a wide smile and positive attitude. Her daughters Aura, Autumn, and Athena were her pride and joy. She will be missed deeply. My deepest condolences to all her family.
I’m so sorry! I’m going to miss you so much! I’ll always cherish our long talks and all the helpful advice you always gave me. You’ll always have a special place in my heart, and I’ll always cherish the memories we made and the time we spent together.
