Jessica C. Vega

We would like to thank everyone for being here today; family, friends, co-workers, clergy and community friends. Your hugs, laughs and friendship have kept the family strong during this heart breaking time of grief.

We often think of death as something way down our path of life. We never thought we would be thinking of Jessica as a precious memory at this time of her life. It was a shock and still seems unreal. Death came way too soon.

Jessica was born into a loving, close knit family. She was an only child and cherished from the beginning. Her mother, Barbara, brought her up to have strong values and integrity. Growing up, Jessica and her mother shared an unbelievable bond. A bond that was never broken.

Jessica had a wonderful childhood and a zest for life. “She loved life.” She was a good student and had great plans for her future. She loved going to the beach and getting “that summer tan.” She loved hanging out with her many girlfriends, the arts and going to museums, she loved travel and going to family gatherings.

Jessica attended college at the Art Institute of Philadelphia and then graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelors in Marketing.

Jessica married the love of her life in 1995. She had an unbelievable love for Felix. They were perfect for each other. Both were kind and generous, both loved their families and they shared so many common interests. Jessica loved her new family; the Vegas. She very quickly came to admire and love the family bond the Vegas shared with each other and the loving, welcoming way they brought her into their family.

They were married for four years when Felix the IV was born and then in 2002 Alexander was born. Together Jessica and Felix taught their sons to have a strong family base and to always be respectful going forward in life. The love she had for them was amazing. Her sons, husband and mother were always her first priority. It was an extremely proud moment when her son Felix started college this past fall. She was so impressed with his mature decision on which college to attend. Education for her sons was very important to Jessica. She was so proud of Alex and his many talents and his projects which amaze everyone. She felt there were no limits to what her sons could do.

Jessica was a professional business woman and had a wonderful career in marketing. She worked for Legend Property Management. She was the Director of Marketing and Property Management. She was very fortunate to be able to work from home. This enabled her to donate more time to her family.

We all have different memories of Jessica but one thing we all have in common was the love she had for everyone around her. She had a calming way and knew the right things to say during trying times. She was strong and her generosity was remarkable.

In closing, we are so grateful for the brief time we were able to spend with Jessica and to know the angels are rejoicing because one of their own has rejoined them. So, we bid our Jessica a farewell and say goodbye to her physical body but we know her spirit will be in our hearts forever. Rest in peace Lady Bug.
