Jessica was truly a very amazing woman! She was always kind and thoughtful to others. She was never rude to anyone and was always willing to do whatever it was to help someone’s child be safe. She did this in such a passionate way and was never too busy to help out another Mom.
Jessica was taken from us on 11th November 2007. She left behind a husband, two beautiful daughters and many family & friends.
Jessica touched so many people’s lives on the website BabyCenter.com, especially the November 2002, December 2006 and the Car Seat Safety Boards. The boards will never be the same without her.
Some comments from friends about Jessica:
“I still remember the 1st time I really talked with Jessica, she was talking about putting Nora in Natalie’s Britax Marathon and getting a HBB booster for Natalie. I told her about extended harnessing and offered some suggestions and she took off from there! She was our Queen of car seats on our December board!” (Heather ~ 8/77 - December Mommy and friend)
“I met Jessica on my November 2002 board. After telling the board about the Kyle David Miller Foundation, Jessica, became very interested in learning about extended harnessing.” (Carrie Mommy to 2 boys)
Jessica became a huge advocate of extended rear facing and extended harnessing. She helped Carrie with promoting her Car Seat Safety page on My space (www.myspace.com/carseatsafteynut). Jessica would give pictures of her girls to promote extended harnessing and rear-facing. She couldn’t understand why someone would want to endanger their own child’s lives.
Jessica loved her girls so much that she wanted to do everything she could to protect them and as many others that she could! Her knowledge that she shared with so many is bound to save lives.
Jessica, may you rest in peace, we love and miss you!!!!!!
