Last month was full of ups and downs for me. My ongoing frustration which developed into despicable contempt for the Foreign Police, the Kid being stuck in the US, my parents traveling the same day as the plane crashed in NYC, my Grandfather developed pneumonia, and I was informed a friend who had been diagnosed with cancer right after I left, right after giving birth to her first child, was given a few weeks to live. I had a hard few days there... stuff here was a little out of hand, too.
But my situation doesn't even register on the Richter, while Jessica's was off the charts. Mortality, an infant, and a wedding.
She and her boyfriend married 2 weeks ago in a hastily arranged ceremony - they didn't know how long she had... she almost wasn't able to attend her own wedding due to her health. She passed away this week. On Thursday.
She was two years older than me.
I know many of you knew her much better than I did, and loved her dearly, and deservedly so.
My heart, my love, my prayers go out to you and her family, Jeremey and little Elias.

The Sonoma County Superior Court asked that I send an invitation to all of you to attend the dedication of the Jessica Flores Foster Children's Waiting Room on Thursday, June 25 at 4:30 pm at the new Civil and Family Courthouse located at 3055 Cleveland Avenue, Santa Rosa. When the court opened a new courthouse a few months ago, they added a children's waiting room to allow children a supervised safe place to stay while their parents attended court. The Sonoma County Superior Court voted to name the waiting room after Jessica. --
