Jessica Simone Memorial Fund

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Jessica Simone. Our family is heartbroken. Jessica was a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, and a shining light to everyone who knew her. She touched the lives of so many and it is our turn to give back to her family in their time of need. We are raising money to cover the costs of the funeral and memorial services for Jessica's family as this passing was completely unexpected. Any excess money will be donated to her son Josiah's future care and education.
