Messages and Favorite Memories from those who love her.
| mom | There's no one really to tell but you, Jess. Cali died tonight. Although you didn't know her, I'm sure she's now playing with Roxy and Cleo. She suffered enough. Just wanted to tell someone. |
| anon | It really does stink not to have you here to share things with. There's so much that you need to be a part of; but you cannot.
Events, happenings aren't as they should be without you in this world... |
| anon | hope to see you soon...miss you and love you |
| unknown | Jess, I miss you so much. Words can not even explain. I miss the way you giggled, and how you were always smiling. I miss how your nose scrunched when you laughed, and you always seemed to have something to say to keep our conversations going. I was young, and now I've grown. I just now realize how much of an impact you left on my life, I'd do anything to just say goodbye. You were a great friend and you will NEVER be forgotten. I love you Jess. |
| anon | Jess is directly to the right as you enter the main entrance to Pleasant Hill. Can't miss the angel she has on the stone. |
| old friend | I had known Jessica since she moved to Leechburg. I enjoyed every minute of time spent with her. I regret that I could not attend the funeral or the burial. Can anyone post where in Pleasant Hill Cemetery she is buried. I would like to pay my respects. |
| anon | How lucky am I to have known someone so hard to say goodbye to.
Forever in my heart. |
| Jen H. | I was Jessica's "Big Sister" through Big Brothers and Big Sister's Clubs of America years ago. I was randomly looking for a website and ran across this memorial for Jessica. I was shocked and saddened to hear this sad news. In the short time that I knew Jessica, she always had a smile on her face and had an awesome personality. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends. May the memories of her help heal the many hearts that she touched. |
| anon | Everyday you are thought of; everyday you are missed. May your smile and great humor live on in those who have been blessed to love you! |
| anon | Thoughts and love to you. |
| anon | See..Your still doing what you do best...making people stop and think, and your thought about everyday. |
| ml | I truly need to have you with me. Missing you everyday, all day... |
| Carrie | I really never met Jessica....but she was a talkive kinda girl in my high school and she always hang out with her friends.... I MISS U Jessica |
| anon | Thoughts of you fill my mind; I wait for the day I see you again; I hope and dream that you are still with me and that you are at peace and happy...
You are my heart and always will be... |
| anon | On your Birthday 25 more wishes of wishing you here..................... |
| Aunt Wanda | There is Not ONE day goes by, that I don't think about you Jess. I am always trying to find you in someone or somebody. Thinking that they resmeble you in someway or laughed like you, talk like you, but....that person is not you. You are SO irreplaceable! No one can ever take your place in this world. I Love You and Miss You EVERY single day. Keeps those clouds fluffed up for me... |
| Pcakins | I Think I Remember Jessica From LAHS But I'm Not Sure I was In 8th Grade Then Anyway Jessica You'll Be Missed By All Who Knew You. |
| anon | Hi; miss you Jessica Perry (JP). |
| anon | :-( Always missing you and what you meant to us/me. |
| anon | No day nor holiday will ever be the same without you, girl.
You will always be remembered for you giggling laugh, and cheerful smile;
The uplifting aura that you would bring into a room.
Tears will fall each and every day and no hour will go by that you will not be missed. |
| Michelle Primer | First thing I thought of when I saw her face is she is a reflection of YOU ~ before your heart was broken.
Maybe somehow, someway, someday....you can carry that smile for her here on earth..... SHE IS a part of you and if you can do this for her, I'm sure HER heart will be UP LIFTED ........ and you'll both be blessed. |
| anon | 2 yrs today
:(
Missing you more than ever Jess. |
| Mom | Yesterday I 'told' Jess that if she needed Roxie or Cleo to go ahead and take them...she's let us have them for SO long and they are so old now. Roxie passed through the night. I guess Jess needed her favorite girl. I'm sad, but also glad they are together now. |
| Aunt Wanda | This is the 2nd Christmas without you Jess. Christmas will never be the same. A very big part is missing and that is YOU. You are missed so verry much. But you will never ever be out of any of our thoughts and will be close in our hearts forever. I Love you and Miss you girl. |
| Kim McB | I miss Jess and all the energy that she held in that tiny body. Her spirits were always high, her goals always in her midst, and her happiness spread to everyone. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I can't believe that any of this is real. I'm so sad for her family. So many questions unanswered and no doubt anger or frustration for what has happened. She'll never be forgotten by anyone. That wonderfully positive spirit will always be present. She'll make sure of that! |
| Friend and Neighbor | Time will never heal a wound, but maybe allow us to move forward with a greater appreciation of life. A reminder that each day we know there are no guarantees. No chance to do this day over, no guarantee of a tomorrow. I hope remembering Jessica can help us all to live each day to the fullest and try to share love in this world the way she did. Such a beautiful person.... so hard to understand. Live each day knowing that you will never have it to do over again... make the most of each one. |
| BILLY | MISS YOU

| anon | Miss you, Jess |
| Tara (Walker) Eiler | When I heard the news about the accident, I couldn't believe Jessica was involved. It took awhile to sink in. There's so many questions left unanswered and a void left in so many lives. In school, Jessica was ALWAYS the one that stood out. She was constantly laughing and giggling. Her nose would scrinch up..you couldn't help but laugh with her. She was always so happy-go-lucky, outgoing and friendly. We always got into trouble together in Spanish...too much talking. Long rides home from football games always seem to fly with Jessica around. I remember when she got her wisdom teeth out, her cheeks got so puffy...I was terrified to get mine out! She just laughed and told me it wasn't that bad. She was an angel on earth...now she's an angel in heaven. You are sadly missed and often thought about. |
| Patrick C Akins | I Never Really Met Jessica In School But I'll go Out on a Limb and say My Sympathies Go Out To her Family and Especially To her Brother Chris I'm sorry About your Loss and My Prayers Are with You and May God Be With You Through These Hard Times. |

| "Ma" "Mom" and "Dad" | Happy Birthday, Jess.
Today is my Jessica's 23rd birthday. It's the last entry on her calendar and a very difficult day for me to get through, just like any other day.
I want all of you that have posted here to know that I come and read this and appreciate your words greatly. Yes, Jessica was a very special person. So close to our hearts. It still seems all so 'unreal' and like yesterday that this happened. I still wait for her to walk through the door or to make that intermittent call throughout the day just to say, "Hi Mom!" There are too many memories and 'favorites' for me to write them all out. Too many things that we are missing out on and going to miss out on.
Know that Jess was a happy girl, that sadnes eluded her, she never held to any anger...she didn't know how. A trait that amazed us and truly encouraged US to be more like her. For those traits in her, I am grateful.
Please, when you think of her, pray that God holds her in His hands and that her smile and laughter are carrying on.
Our hearts break daily for our girl.
Thank you all, again, for your responses here. Thank you Clint for doing this board (it helps).
Happy Birthday, Jessica! |
| Julie | Just want you all to know Jessica will not ever be forgotten. I still ride past her grave even though I didn't know her personally. I notice all the loving gifts left for her. The snowman was so special. I really thought that was sweet. God be with you all who love her and she will live on through you! |
| Becky | Jess was a part of our lives for many years. First as neighbors,then her family moved to Leechburg so we looked forward to every summer they would come and visit .We will never forget her. She will always be in our hearts. We love you Jess! |
| Ben | First, Thank you Clint for doing this, and you knew that I loved her. I have been her friend for more that 11 years and more, and I will never get over this. All I can say is that she knew how much I loved her and when I find Vince when he gets out of jail, cannot say anymore.
JESS I LOVE YOU!!! |
| Penny | I don't know Jess, but I feel as if I do on some level from talking with her Mother and reading all of these loving replys. She truly sounds like one of a kind! It is not only a loss for her wonderful family, fiance and friends but for the whole world! The world is a far better place with people like Jess in it. Heaven did indeed get another Angel but she is still here with everyone also........in all of the beautiful things that surround us!! Her extraordinary love and spirit will never be gone!!
Jess....you are a gem!! |

| Clint | Please forgive the message that was displayed here Wednesday night. Someone immature posted this message. He was in the High School Library at 5:03PM Wednesday night and we will find out who it was. Sorry for anyone who had to read the message. |
| Rachel Gibbon | I didn't really know Jessica personally, but everybody can see that she was a very loved person. My sympathies to her family. Chris, you know she'll always be around, just look in your heart, and I'm so sorry. |
| Cynthia | I couldn't ever forget Jess,
The glimmer on her face reminded me of an angel
Who could say they didn't like her,
They probaly haven't met her
My favorite girl, always taught me about her two loves
Cleo and Roxie,
Jess will never die in my heart |
| Lori | Jess was always so nice and pleasant when I was around her. No matter what was going on she made me feel welcomed. I will never forget the time we croched together. I had just moved here and it was nice to have someone I called a friend. She will be greatly missed AND greatly remembered. |
| Abby McClure | Jessica was a very patient and loving girl. My only experiences with her were working at JD's Roadhouse, but we shared alot of laughs. You could always find her reading a book when the day was slow, sitting in the back break room. Sarah McLachlan's lyrics say it best "I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by. Weep not for the memories." Jess was truely and angel, she has touched my life and I know she will remember the great memories she has, and I will remember the great ones I shared with her. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and Brian for all that they have lost.
|
| Chris Perry | This is her baby brother jess will be missed VERY MUCH
as Amber Callen said "only the good die young"
"Rest in Peace"
Jessica |
| Jim Dunmire | From myself and Family, and the Staff at JD'S Roadhouse. We Love and Miss Jessica very much. |
| JORDAN | I REMEMBER EVERY TIME SHE WOULD LAUGH SHE WOULD HICCUP. SHE USED TO READ TO ME WHEN I SAT ON HER LAP. SHE WOULD BABY SIT ME AND MY BROTHER KYLE. JESSIE WAS A GOOD COUSIN. AND I WILL MISS HER ALOT. |
| Aunt Wanda | Jessica is and will always be my favorite niece. Jess holds a special place in the heart of my whole family. I truly loved watching her grow up even though it was 600 miles away for the last 15 years.My visits with Jessica were always the high points of my trip. All the shopping for prom dresses I will always cherish. She looked great in all of them Jess would always give up her bed for us and never complain. She was the most beautiful baby with big brown eyes and those chubby cheeks. Jess had grown into the most beautiful woman inside and out. I will miss her cute gigglely laugh and everything about her. I know Jess is in Heaven. I can't wait to see her again. I love you Jess and I miss you more than words could ever say. |
| Valarie | Jess helped corrupt me in band camp... and showed me many possible ways of ditching without getting into trouble. She was almost always smiling and could find the best in any situation. There were times it seemed she knew things that most other people did not--she saw more, listened more, felt more. We had a grand time working together this summer, even as short-lived as it was. My sympathies are with her family, Brian, and everyone else whos lives she touched. |
| Christine M Kane | i didnt personally know her, but from what i have seen she seemed like a sweet , loving girl with many freinds who cared for her. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers, Your an angel now jessica..... |
| amber callen | me and jess worked together at the poolwhenever we were younger. constant sarcasm kept us smiling even when the hot weather got to us. we had some good times at 108 Ontario, in Edinboro, and no matter where her presence, happiness was not far away. "only the good die young", isn't that the truth. you will be greatly missed jess.
|
| Jace Criswell | I met Jessica in my SECOND year of P.O.T class. She was always smiling and trying to make everyone else around her smile. She was a GREAT person. There should be more people like her in the world today. Jessica you will be missed you were ONE OF A KIND!
|
| Alessa | I just wanted to say its so sad how u truly dont know the meaning of friendship and life until it is taken from you. Jessica was a gr8 person and will always be remembered. Peace be with her and her family. |
| Kelly Davidson | Jessica was my first, true, best friend, and I'm forever changed by who she was and what she meant to me. We did everything together, and I will always hold onto those memories. I am so sorry I recently didn't get the chance to see or talk to her, but I am certain she is in a good place, and that she's being given all the love and happiness she deserves. I'll miss you, and I love you!
|
| passion4pucks | I didn't know Jessica, but our condolences go out to family, friends, and all who knew her. |
| Clint | The way she always made funny animal noises when she laughed. And when you would point them out, she would laugh even harder. Also her desire to be best friends forever, no matter what happened. She always talked about us talking about the old days when we would be 30, 40, 50. She tried so hard to bring us back to friendship when our lives would slowly drift us apart. I am very happy that she had Brian in her life and she was very happy with him. He is a great guy too, a perfect match for Jessica. |
| Cappy | She was the best, I would say perfect...She is going to be greatly missed. She always helped me with all my pets, she was my friendly vet. I'm going to miss that great smile and her great food. She would do anything for you. The memories I have of her are going to last me a lifetime. I Love you Jess! |
