She also loved traveling, playing with her cats and dogs and watching superhero movies with her family. She loved watching football with her dad and shopping with her mom. She had a little girl's fascination for unicorns and sparkling rainbows, among other things. Jesika was a proud member of the deaf community. She loved and related to all people and made friends easily. If someone seemed a trifle down Jesika took it as her mission to make them smile. So, don't cry for Jesika today. She'd rather see you smile.
