My deepest sympathy to the family. I had many conversations with Jessie and enjoyed every one of them. We both owned shops and had lots to talk about concerning our challenges. I learned a lot from her and she was a wonderful lady. I will miss her and our talks.

Jessie You will be sorely missed, you touched many lives including mine and Tammy's in ways only you could do. We will always remember the good times and the bad, and the kind words you had and friendly advice. We love you and will miss you always.

Ricky Najera

It is still so hard to realize you are gone. Gone, but never forgotten. I feel very privileged to have known you. What funny and good times you, Glenda and I had.. Even the night you and I went to eat after closing the shop for Valentines Day. We were both so tired but didn't have enough sense to go home. We just had to go eat. There would be a few I could mention, but I think they will have to remain private between us. You will be missed by so many. Prayers and love also for the family left behind . Love you Jessie

Jessie, you were not only my best friend, you were a mother to me. We shared everything together. We knew each other better than our own family knew us. We could finish each other's sentences. We knew what the other was thinking. We were so much alike, it was scary. You helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. You always gave me the best advice and you never looked down on me when I made mistakes. I love you so much and I'm so glad that the last words we spoke was telling each other "I LOVE YOU." I already miss talking to you every night before I go to sleep and I really miss waking up to your phone call each morning. I will miss you forever and will never forget you. You made such a wonderful impact in my life.

Tammy Najera

Jessie, you were always a good friend. We had a lot of fun together. I will miss you my dear friend. You were special to me. Thank you for teaching me how to design flowers. You taught me something I would not have been able to do otherwise. You were a true blessing to me and I will never forget you. Rest in peace my friend and I will see you again. I love you, Denise

Annette & Family, So glad I got to meet your Mom, Jessie. Her spirit was bright and I so enjoyed her. I do understand your grief so my prayer is that you reflect on the good memories and God give you and your family peace. With love, Lois

Lois Peters

Jessie, we love you & always will. You were more than a friend, you were a member of our Family. You took me under your wing and taught me about the florist business. You & Jeff are responsible for my going to college to earn a degree in Horticulture. Without the two of you pushing me, I never would've continued my education. We've laughed together so hard so many times. We've broken down and cried together many times, too. Throughout all the ups and downs, you've been a rock for me and I can only hope that I was for you as well. Jeff & I love you, Jessie. We always will. You were an inspiration to us and all who knew you. You'll never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
