"I met her in an online game, The Sims Online. And at first I wasn't sure she liked me." These are the opening words in the story "Angels Among Us" in the Book Digital Soup Online.

She became a very special friend to me, even though I never met her face to face. She became a very special friend to everyone she met and this is true even after her passing. To read her posts on the Utopia Skye forums gives you a sense of who she was, and still is in our hearts.

I could say a milllion words about Jessie. I could tell you how special she was, how beautiful, how loving. But none would do her justice. I cannot speak in the language of the heart, I can only give it expression through others...

and if you were with me tonight

I'd sing to you just one more time
a song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live

may angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
("Hear You Me", by Jimmy Eat World)

I miss you Jessie, your words, presence, and spirit continue to this day to move me.

And I have yet to encounter anyone who moves me so. Thank you Jessie
