About 7 months ago our lives changed forever when we all received the devestating news that our Jess had decided to take her own life. 7 months on from this day none of us can say it's getting easier & sometimes it feels that it's getting harder and harder to come to the realisation that we will never see you or speak to you again.
As Jess doesn't have a resting place or a memorial a group of her closet friends have decided to take on the challenge and get Jess the proper memorial in which she deserves.
We have finally found the most perfect spot for this being located at the Bunarong Memorial Park. The plaque/memorial spot will be located on the edge of one of there beautiful lakes which is really a sight too see when you go down there & also a beautiful spot where you can be reminded of the times you shared with Jess.
The only issue we are facing with this is the cost as we didn't expect it to be this much so a small group of us thought we would start one of these fundraisers and really see what we can do to help get Jess the memorial she deserves & also a place for anyone to go down pay there respects & remember Jess for the truly amazing presence she had on all of our lives. Please don't feel obligated to donate, if you do it's much appreciated and anything you do donate is greatly appreciated.
This place will also be a representation for anyone suffering with mental illness and depression. We want to get the word out that it's okay to not be okay & that you are in this world for a reason because if you choose to leave it doesn't make the people you left behind feel anything but sadness and guilt that they were not there for you in the darkest of times. There is always somebody there for you & always light at the end of the tunnel, it will get easier just use your support network and speak up!
Thank you on behalf of a small group of Jess's close friends for taking the time to read this & thank you for any donations we may receive, anything is appreciated and won't go un-noticed.
This is for you Jess, we love you & miss you every single day.
