I heard about Jessica's death from a friend of your daughter, Angela. I am so sorry for you and your family. This is a very hard time, but you will get through this little by little. I recently lost my mother and a daughter years ago, I truly know your grief. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. I pray that you find peace in time.

Dear Karen Larry and Angelia, This was a shock to all of us. I meet the girls before we sold the INN when they came up on vacation.I am so glad I got a chance to talk with them. I understand what you are feeling. Remember I lost my son Rob when he was 18. The best advice I can give you is always remember she will always be with you. Do allot of talking to her. Dont be afraid of what you say to her it is a way to work through this. Eveyone deals with this in their own way. I am so sorry!! Lots of prayers will be said for all of you. Love Paula Paul and Darren
