Jessica Huey Memorial

     Jessica Huey was my big sister.  Her death was a result of a domestic dispute with a man that she trusted. My sister was a helpless victim of domestic violence. She was taken from our family too soon and we are trying to cope with the realization that she is no longer around. My family can not comprehend how something so unimaginable could happen to our sweet Jess. 

 

     She was a fun-loving, hilarious, and innately good person. She helped me build so many skills, and taught me so much.. She was always proud of me no matter what situations I had gotten myself into, because she knew she had taught me how to make it through. Jessica always prepared me for the curveballs that life could throw. She was my cheerleader or my stand-in therapist when I was feeling a bit anxious about something. Jessica was my role model, my best friend, and my big sis. In her 31 years she helped and loved anyone who she encountered. Her passing has left an empty space in our hearts, and it has severely affected her two sons Alex and Cameron.

 

     Alex is a precious six yeear old boy who looks exactly like Jessica. He has TONS of energy and will always play if you're feeling up to it. He loves his mommy very much. At her funeral Alex asked to help carry his mother to her final resting place. Watching a six year old boy carry the back end of a casket is one of the most heartbreaking images that I could ever imagine, and I hate to say that I witnessed it. He says he can't wait to play with mommy again in Heaven.

 

     Cameron is a high school freshman with big dreams and a bigger heart.  As he goes through the transition into high school, he is now dealing with the loss of his mother as well. Cameron is an intelligent, and caring kid who is quite wise for his age and has a good head on his shoulders. This catastrophic event has caused him to have to grow up a bit faster than anyone had expected. He aspires to go into the Air Force Academy and possibly study engineering. He has impressive goals that we hope to help him fulfill. 

 

     With the loss of their mother also came a loss of a second income. My mother and I have opened up a savings account for them in our names to help out with this loss. With the advice of my aunt, I decided to open up a PayPal account to make it easier for people who want to help to donate. 

 

     This is a painful time for my family and we are extremely worried about Jessica's sons. Financial issues and the hard times that accompany them should not be an issue for a child that has lost his mother, so we are hoping to reach out and collect as much as anyone is willing to give to make sure that these boy's dreams are not halted in any way. The funds will be put towards school supplies, clothing, food, and tuition costs for whichever ivy league school that they decide to grace with their presence. (Haha)

 

 

             Your boys love you, Jessica, and they hope to see you again one day.

 

We miss you so much, beautiful.

It is harder to breathe with you gone.
