I think of you all the time and hope your family is well. I didn't know you but always looked forward to your posts and was so sad when you passed. You were one courageous woman and I will always remember you.

I still think of Jessica often and how i always looked for her updates. I soo wanted her to be able to get better. I think of her son and how he is doing. I hope that all is well with the family. Jessica wanted you to know you are not forgotton and many still remember how couragious you were and how hard you fought.

Jessica - so many of us who were around watching your story unfold, praying for a miracle, and saddened when you left us are now just "anonymous" names on your surgery support page. Even though our names may be forgotten by the glitches of cyberspace be assured that we haven't forgotten you and what a fighter you were. You endured so much and left behind more than just your son and other family members. You left a legacy here too. I hope your family is doing well and that the cherished memories of you bring them comfort today. DD

1/24/07 I am new to OH and currently considering WLS(lap band). I've read through all material on this site as well as the memorials. Jessica O's was different. An angel page mysteriiously flashed on my screen prior to her page coming up. I scrolled down and seen it was quite lengthy. As I decided to close it and read later, the page would not close so, I read it in it's entirity. I am so sadden and griefstrickened at this time. I feel a sense of regret for not having the opportunity to meet such a beautiful,strong mother,wife as Jessica. I could sense her strength and desire/will to live for her son Zeke....it was no longer for Jessica as any reader perceives Jessica was tired of the fight but, found strength and desire to live solely for her son Zeke. To me, Jess was saying...."SIMPLY OUT OF THE LOVE I HOLD FOR YOU MY DEAR ZEKE, I AM WILLING TO ENDURE THIS SUFFERING I AM IN!" What a sacrifice some might say but, I am sure we all know the strength/depth of a mothers' no limits/condition. Oh, how I wish I could have known Jessica and assist in any/all ways possible. If there is an educational fund set-up for Zeke please post it so we all at OH could fulfill Jessica's wish and make it possible for Zeke to be taken care of. Zeke, please know how much your mother loved you and KNOW she is with you spiritually always as I am sure she is with all she encountered and all whom is struggling with WLS. I wish her family my deepest/heartfelt condolences. I will keep all of you in prayers!

Just reading Jessica's accounts of her life after her surgery makes me feel as if I knew her. She must have been such a brave strong woman and faced with so many obstacles that it makes me appreciate my family even more. My heart breaks for her family but I know that in heaven Jessica has to be finally at peace and no longer in pain. Rest in peace Jessica...

WOW I have been away for a while and I had no idea she had passed. She was such a loving and caring sweet woman. We talked a few times and even though she was struggling to make ends meet with all medical bills wanted to donate something to my site. I am just sorry that I was away for so long and did not know. I will definately pray for her family she was a special person!!!!

The hundreds of posts here and on boards all over the Internet will stand as a testament to Jessica's life, and to the thousands of lives that she touched. I have been following her story for over a year, and I was moved to let her know that I was praying for her. I continue to pray for her, and her beloved family.

I was going to call Jessical yesterday to see how she was doing as it had been awhile since I had talked to her. I thought first I would see her profile to see if anything had been updated to talk about when I called her. I was horrified, crushed and my heart broke when I learned that she had passed away on the 14th of Nov. If a person ever deserved to live it was her as she tried so hard to make it. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Jessica's family and friends for the loss of such a beautiful, sweet young lady with so much to live for. The short time I knew her I admired her so much for her strength and will to live. She really pulled at my heartstrings and I hope and pray that her family and friends find some comfort in knowing how much she will be missed and that there are a lot of people whose lives she touched and encouraged. God Bless you Jessica, we will all miss you!!! I lit a candle for you today and may your light shine forever and ever. Sue Harvey

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of Jessicas passing.As a mother I can relate to her wanting to fight the good fight for her son and I admire her so much for that. Although I didnt know her before, after reading her journey I feel like i did. She was such a strong woman.My sympathy goes out to her family and you all are in my prayers.

I am so so sad to hear of Jessica passing. I have been following Jessica's journey on OH since her surgery. We talked many times about our problems with our WLS. She gave me strength and support to keep fighting through her words. With all the complications we both are having from the WLS she helped me so much. When no one else wanted to here of the complications one could have with WLS she helped me to see we were not alone that many are suffering from WLS just like us. My Thought and prayers are with your family at this time. Pat C
