I am a breast cancer survivor, 17 yrs now, and I still sometimes take life for granted, but then, something will hit me and I realize how very lucky and blessed I am.. This hit me. I never knew you, be we were warriors together. We have not won the battle yet, but perhaps someday.... When I walk the Survivors walk, I will walk for you, I walk for quite a few friends now, but the burden is carried with honor. I want to thank you for this reminder of how much I have let slide, I said a prayer for your children, your family, that they may always carry your strength, your love and your joy with them, rest easy little Mother, they will be ok. I wish .....

To Jessica's Family. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I have many fond memories of Jessica from having her in my class years ago at Lantz District School. She was an amazing and caring person then and it is no surprise to read of all her accomplishments. Jan, Johm, Nick and Abby, may you find comfort in your memories of Jessica.

I didn’t know Jessica at all. My cousin back in Newfoundland shared her obituary as a reminder to live life to the fullest. After reading this I am feeling the love that she had for all of you. Her message had me crying, laughing then crying again. What a wonderful life she has had and yes she is gone too soon. But I am confident that her impact will be felt for years to come. I send hugs and love to you all.

Sending our deepest sympathies. Reading Jess’s obituary was heartbreaking. I remember the day Jess was born and the many visits with Joy and Tam to see your beautiful baby girl. It was a privilege watching Jess grow up on Logan Drive and following her many accomplishments. Jess was an over achiever in anything she set her mind to do. When Jess joined the RCMP she made a visit to our home. Jess soon discovered that Steve and I weren’t home however, the girls and their friends were. Need I say more. I bumped into Jess a few weeks later, I asked her to make sure I was home the next time she dropped in for a visit. We had a great laugh. Jess was an amazing mother, and we know she will live on forever through her children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hugs,
Steve, Brenda, Mandy & Jenna

Janice and John, sending our deepest sympathies. Reading Jessica's obituary was heartbreaking. It is unconscionable to lose a child and also see your beautiful young grandchildren lose their mom. We hope your wonderful memories of Jessica and the special bond and time you will continue to have with her children, will help bring solace. The messages of condolence I have read are a true testament to the amazing officer, incredible friend, and beautiful mom she was. To her husband, Andrew, whom I have never met, you will without a doubt face many hurtles of raising a family without your partner. I hope you can find strength and courage through the eyes of the children as both your and Jessica' s traits shine through.

While I did not know Jessica I too was diagnosed in 2017, and wonder if by chance we actually would have met on the 11th for chemo, or later downstairs for radiation. Or perhaps if we had Dr Young as our oncologist. There is no doubt in my mind that, having read this stunningly beautiful obituary, Jessica you brought more peace and comfort to the many of us who faced cancer all the while dealing with the HUGE emotions of fear, dread but also HOPE. Your selfless donation of your body may be the catalyst for what may turn out to be a cure, or at least, a remedy which secures remission. In death, you continue to inspire hope, and give those of us more fragile-minded a confidence and courage to face whatever comes. Yours is a legacy of grandeur my dear. Thank you. I will keep you in prayer and memory. Gratefully, Theresa MacNeil (former piper with H division RCMP Pipes and Drums)

We were so saddened to hear of Jessica's passing after fighting for so long to beat her illness. Phil has fond memories of working with Jessica when she was a teenager at The Shaw Block Plant. She was a dedicated, hard working young lady who gave the boys a hard time keeping up with her even back then. Although he hadn't seen her in a long time Phil kept tabs on her through her Dad and felt like he somehow watched her grow up. May your memories of her keep her alive in your hearts during this terribly difficult time and always. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May Jessica rest easy now. Her fight is over.

I will always remember Jessica for being so kind, friendly, and my note-taker in a grade at HERH when the teachers were trying to figure out a plan for me and my hand writing that no one could make out. I passed that grade because of Jess' notes that I could study.
She joked years later when I saw her as an RCMP officer (and me as a journalist starting out at the WP): 'You're handwriting is great Pat - because no politician can make out if you're writing something bad in your notebook about them." We had a good laugh.
RIP my friend. You were a great mom. Hugs to your family and friends.
Your mom and wife, Andrew, was awesome and officer. This is a sad day. Now she joins Heidi up above protecting us every day.

I knew Jessica since we were 12 years old and in Grade 7 together. She was always a very smart and kind person. I fondly remember Jessica, Michelle and Joslyn picking me up and going to the movies and going to many High School parties. During University I remember running into Jessica when we both attended a police recruiting session in Halifax. We laughed when two people got up and left when the recruiters said "if you have been convicted of impaired driving, you need not apply". We joked saying that they should have waited a little while longer before leaving. Shortly after we both became police officers. Years later when she was posted to Halifax, we ended up on a couple of investigator courses together and it was great to catch up. I cam say from the times running into Jessica that she loved her children and husband and she was proud to be an RCMP officer. I am shocked and saddened with the loss of Jessica. My thoughts are with her family.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Andrew, Elaina, Carson, Harrison, Jack, John & Jan…Please never hesitate to reach out. We are here for all of you.
Jessica and I met by chance, many years ago (I met Jan at swimming lessons first) and we instantly connected. We built a friendship as we ran at night and our babies slept. We kept each other going - both too stubborn to stop or slow down.
The memory of you Jess, will never fade, neither will your legacy. You will shine through each of your children. I can see you in each of them.
Jessica was a true gem - one of a kind. Witty, honest, determined. Her strength was like no other. Her laugh - it’s engraved in my mind, as are your witty remarks and comebacks. Things will never be the same. I’ll keep running Jess, but tears will be running too.
Rest easy my soul/sole sister.
Love,

She sure lived her life with passion, determination and courage! She also fought her battle with cancer in the same way. Cancer has never had a fiercer opponent than Jess as she fought so hard to stay with you guys. Like an English author once said- a true warrior fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica for a short time and quickly learned she was a ferocious and dedicated worker who took on work like forest fire in a strong wind. She put extreme passion, dedication and pride in her career. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t just at work she took such interest. Jessica loved being a mom, how could you not when, in this day you devote yourself to having 4 children. What ever Jessica did, she did it with great pride and principle. She is a true inspiration for which all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her can learn and grow. Her mom and dad did an incredible job in raising such an outstanding person who contributed to Canada in such a tremendous way, serving communities where she worked with selflessness. Andrew, I can’t imagine what you and the kids had to endure over the last few years. Your strength is beyond comparison.
