Dear Emma, Wayne & Jakob. There are no words that can describe the immense sadness I felt when I learnt of Jessika’s passing. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain you are all feeling. I have such cherished memories of all our years shared at Ronnie Mac House. Jessika never ceased to amaze me with her resilience and beautiful smile – even during the most challenging of times. Your unconditional love and devotion to giving her the best life possible was tangible and touched me deeply and I’m so thankful that you were our first trial family at the Beach House. Those gorgeous pics that Kate took will always be cherished. My prayer for you is that you will be able to draw some comfort and peace from knowing you did everything you could for your beautiful girl and that her life touched many very deeply. Just know that I am thinking of you and sending much love and prayers. Kristen xo

Dear Emma, Wayne & Jakob,
My deepest sympathies are with you all at this time. I too will miss the absolute delight Jessika brought to my life, that I know she brought to yours. I feel extremely privileged to have been a part of Jess’s journey and in your lives too. She was truly an old soul with so many learning for all of us. Her cheeky comments and ideas , strength, determination and courage always brought a smile . I will very much miss the joy she brings to others, her caring and deep understanding. Truly an amazing human which we were blessed to have in our lives. May your memories of her in time bring you many a smile and a laugh, stand in the sun, bask in her warmth and radiance. She will always be with me in her lessons and inspiration in my work and life. Ride the waves and know she is forever with you.
