We still miss you like crazy here...butterflies coming yours and your mom and dad's way soon, coming to visit with the girls on your bday, so give us something to laugh about...love you sweetie <3

I love you Jessica Rose my life completely changed with you in my life And It changed even more with out you here. I love you I will never forget the times we hung out together and I would do anything to go back to those days and tell you how much you meant to me<3

Jessica is in heaven with our Jessica and they are waiting for us to join them in eternity with our GOD. It is so hard to not have them with us and it does seem unfair for them to go before we as parents. I am sure GOD must have a plan for our little angels. We love our daughters and miss them every day of our lives. May GOD be with you Ron and Candy Dey. <3

Jessie it has been 13 months since I kissed you goodby and told you not to be afraid. There isn't day or an hour that I don't think about you and what a wonderful daughter you are. I have so many wonderful memories of you Sweetheart that help me get through the day. Your Dad is so proud of the life you lived, the people you've touched and way you lived the last year of your life. You were so strong and tried to protect me and your Mom from the result we prayed would not happen. You were a brave young woman Sweetie. I pray you are waiting for me in Heaven and need you to help me be strong.
I love you Jessie Rose more than to the moon and back.
Love Dad

Dear Ron and Candy - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. David Doughty just let me know. Words cannot alleviate the pain you and your family are going through, so please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Cheryl Lane, Class of 1964.

Ron & Candy!  Hello thinking of you.  I am hoping you will come to the last class for Grief/Share on 7/5/12.  I have missed you.

I didn't personally know Jessica, but I remember buying a Dey by Dey bracelet at Ceramic Cafe the day of the funeral. It makes me happy to know that the Dey by Dey foundation lives on even though Jessica unfortunately couldn't. Jess, you are an inspiration to everyone you knew you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today on your precious daughter Jessica's birthday.

Dear Ron and Candy, Memories of Jessica's bright smile keeps adding light to the world. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family members.

Ron & Candy:  My thoughts and prayers are with you this week as you miss Jessica on her birthday.

May GOD encourage you today!

I am devastated with Jessica's passing.  So much so, it has taken me until now to put my thoughts into writing.  
Having lost my husband three years ago,  I know how strong memories help the heart heal.  Hence, I send you my memory of beautiful baby Jessica, and how proud each member of the Dey family  was as they held or walked with her in the neighborhood.  
Even though the family soon moved away from Eastbourne, I would hear wonderful comments about Jessica from members of the community.  I know she continued to bring love and pride to her family.  
My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you  Ron, Candy, Brittiany, and Lauren.

I never knew Jess but I've heard a LOT of GREAT things about her! Love you Jess!

*Dey by Dey* - Allie Wilk

Jessica was kind to everyone all the way through school at HVE and her short time at HVMS. She was a friend to all including me although we were not super close friends. She is dearly missed and I can not wait to see her again in heaven. I love you! R.I.P beautiful girl.

I love you Jessica and you will always have a place in my heart!!! You made me see my life differently and I can not wait until we see each other again. You taught me to live every day like it was your last and I am lucky enough to have more time to fulfill my life long dreams. I LOVE YOU!

I never knew her but the way my friend talked about her she sounded amazing and like an angel!

I didn't know who you were, but you were friends with my cousins. I am inspired by you and your strength. You are now up there with God, making sure he doesn't send too much rain on us. We love you! You'll forever be in our prayers.

Ron, Candy, Birttiany and Lauren.
My heart and my prayers go out to all of you including the Grandparents. She will live on in the memories of all who knew her.

Our Prayers and thoughts are with your family during these hard times. My Daughter knew Jessica from school and spoke of her every day. May god bless your family and help heal your wounds. God was the lucky one that day to be blessed with such wonderful company.

Our prayers are with all your family.  Jess was such a joy whenever we saw her.  Take care of yourselves and embrace your memories.
Love,  The Spalding Family

Dear Jess,

I love you so much! I am so sorry that I never came and visited you when you needed friends, and now its too late. That is the one regret that I have. I know that you are going to be looking over all of us until we can finally meet again. Rest in peace beautiful girl and see you again.......

Dear Ron, Candy, Lauren, and Brittany,

I know that I didn't know your family that well but I played lacrosse with Jess and just knowing her changed my life. When ever I thought I had it bad I thought of her and how much she was going through and how stong of a fighter she was. I will forever keep your family in my prayers.

Dear Jess,

I love you. I am so sorry I never got to come and visit you when you really needed friends, and now its too late. I will always love you and I know that you will be looking over all of us. Rest peacefully beautiful girl. I will see you again someday...

Dear Candy, Ron, Brittiany & Lauren,
I will always remember Jessica for her radiant personality and pure spunkiness.  It's been a long tough road, and she was so strong through it all. The love your family has for Jess and your strength this last year has been amazing. Peace and love Jess!
Much love, Christy, Glen, Andrew & Kelsey

Our prayers for your family continue everyday.  We also have a heavenly daughter and know your pain.  Jessica was a beautiful girl, and her light shines bright.

Due to the miles between our homes I never got to know Jessica.  The few times our paths crossed which was when I was visiting, I saw the beauty in her face and the sparkle in her eyes. She had a boundless spirit that was contagious and energizing for your family.  Her life may have been taken early, but her spirit will be walking by your side forever.  Our sincere condolences, Chuck and Linda Kirschner

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

Dear Neighbors,
Our deepest sympathy for the untimely loss of your beautiful daughter Jessica. We can't imagine the heartbreak you must be feeling. We'll always remember her selling lemonade door to door when her stand wasn't getting enough traffic, and her sheer delight when Matt gave her a tip. Her joyful and carefree presence in the neighborhood will be missed. Please let us know what we can do to support you during this difficult time.

Jessica will continue to shine bright in my heart forever... and ever.  She will be dearly missed in the art room of Happy Valley Middle School!!!  God bless you, dear DEY family.  
P.S.  Bet bare-foot in heaven is NICE!!!  Love you all.

Ron, you and your family have been in my thoughts very much so the last few weeks.  I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child but I know that you and your family have done everything in your power to make her last fews days loving,gentle,warm and comfortable.  I didnt know her but from reading her story I am sure she was a wonderful kid who made the world a better place to be.  My heart and prayers are for you and all the people who Jessica's love touched so deeply.

So sorry for your loss, and all of our loss of such a wonderful young lady. God bless you and be near you and fill you with a deep peace that passes understanding.
Richard Lattman

Thank you for sharing this difficult journey with all of us. We are richer for it. You were chosen for Jessica, she was chosen for you.  All of the Dey Family is special in God's eyes.

Our family has not had the pleasure of meeting your family or your sweet Jessica, but my son attends HVMS, and our hearts go out to your entire family.  My son bought one of the Dey by Dey bracelets and since then has worn it every day and is continuing to wear it for Jessica.  I volunteer for Make-A-Wish and am so glad that your sweet girl was able to get her wish granted.  We are so touched by your daughter's strength and bravery as well as your own.  Wishing you peace and strength in the coming days and months.  Dawn, Russ, Hayden, Riley, and Ayla Carver, Happy Valley, OR.

Sending my love to Ron, Candy and family. Words cannot express how I am thinking of you daily and sending you much love. Pamela (Herrold) Ketel.

Ron, It has been uplifting to see how you and your family have dealt with one of the most tragic experiences one can imagine. I am sure that every day Jessica thanked god that she was born to such strong and loving parents. You, Candy, 
Brittany and Lauren have all gained perspective and my regret is not knowing this wonderful girl you have all described so well. God bless you all.

Hi Ron and the Dey family... It's been many years since I've seen you Ron... I remember you through the Craftsman's Club.  I recently read about your daughter, Jessica, via a post on facebook from a mutual friend, Gert Jensen.  My prayers go out to you, your family and to Jessica.  We lost our son, Graeme, in 2000 due to a heart condition, he was 12 years old.  I don't have any words of wisdom, just silence and understanding.  We live a life that our son would be proud of and honor him everyday.  We miss him tremendously, always will.  Again, thinking and praying for your family... My very best, Blair Jones.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Jessica was a beautiful girl and will truly be missed by so many people.  We remember at the football games when we would be there to watch the girls dance at half time, and Jessica would go off to play and visit with others.  Ron would be sitting behind us and he would stand up and whistle and little Jessica would know to come running because her dad was checking on her.  I know she is still listening for your whistle.  We will pray for all of you through this difficult time.

Randy, Gina, Ashlee and Emilee Naranjo

I'm a member of Sunnyside Church of the Nazarene, and we have been praying for your whole family.  I have a 19-year-old granddaughter named Jessica Rose, and she remembers being with Lauren in a choir class at Sunrise Middle School and hearing about Lauren's little sister Jessica.  I know that your Jessica's life was a beautiful blessing to many.  I extend my deepest sympathy to your family, and I will be praying for you in the days ahead.

I did not get to meet your sweet daughter, but I heard so much about her through the Cavalette dance team and HVE where my son goes. My daughter, Shelby is a Cavalette dancer. When they won state this year, I kept thinking how great it was that Jessica got to hear about this, especially since her older sister danced on the team before. I take comfort in knowing now, that Jessica is pain-free, happy and dancing in Heaven alongside God!

Due to the miles between our homes, I never got to know Jessica.  The few times our paths crossed while I was visitng, I saw the beauty in her face and the sparkle in her eyes.  She presented a boundless spirit that was contagious and energizing. Jessica's life may have been taken early, but her boundless spirit will still be walking by your side forever to strengthen your days and comfort your nights. Our thoughts are with you.  The Kirschner Family

I remember cute Jessica Rose running through our neighborhood barefoot without a care in the world. I've always admired her free spirit, especially at such a young age. You will truly be missed sweet girl. I'm always here to lend hugs to Ron, Candy, Brit, Lauren and Byron :)

With deepest sympathy,  the Coutts family.

I am saddened to hear of Jessica s death!As a neighbor that has walked past your house daily since Jessica was a toddler..I will miss her beautiful smile and outgoing personality. She would always stop her playing and speak with me as I went by the house..When she became school age she would talk with me and her mom at the school bus stop while her dogs would try to chew on me!   I pray now that GOD brings the comfort beyond our understanding for all the Dey family in the weeks,months ahead....R I P  JESSICA.......Jim Michener

Ron, Candy, Brittiany and Lauren ... I consider you all my family even though we are only related through my sister. Every year at Thanksgiving when all of us adults were having "boring" conversations, Jessica was always cruising around like the sound of lightning. I couldn't help myself but to hang out with her and Amanda. I would laugh and laugh at the things she said and did. Jessica always had so much energy and enthusiasm for fun. Thanksgiving will not be the same but I think this year, we all have a fun crazy game in honor of one of the coolest kids I have met. Thank you for sharing her with me, Quinn and the girls.

Ron, Candy & Family,
So sorry to read about your Beautiful Daughter Jessica Rose.

I will always remember her smile and laughter, and never forget the hugh hug she ran up gave me after her surgery when she came into visit at School (HVE) She was one special girl, whom i will never forget <3       Love Leslie Conachan (IA at Happy Valley Elementary School)

Ron, Candy and family.....My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. I am at a loss for words, so let me just say that Heaven now has the most beautiful little Angel ever. Hugs and prayers to all of you.

Ron, Candy and family;
Unbelievable heartbreak. Please accept our condolences and best wishes to you all.

We remember when your family came to our home after my father passed away and Jessica kindly played and read to our daughter, Ella, whom she had never met. The following evening, Jessica came over and unselfively brought her own stuffed bunny to give to Ella.  Jessica will always be remembered by us for her kind heart and gentle, warm spirit.  May you continue to wear your purple bracelets to honor Jessica and help provide you strength as you travel "dey by dey".  We love you all dearly.

Ron, Candy, Brittiany and Lauren,

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Jessica's spunk, beautiful smile and attitude touched and made an impact on many many lives.  She will be truly missed by all but remembered in our hearts and memories forever.

With caring thoughts and our deepest sympathies,

Ron, Candy and Girls:
We are so very sorry for your loss of Jessica.  Our thoghts and prayers are with you at this time.

Ron Candy and family
Through every moment of this difficult time you are being held close in my thoughts, prayers and my heart.  In Deepest Sympathy

Hello.  My family and I never had the pleasure of meeting you and your precious daughter Jessica, but we prayed often for Jessica for strength for her and you.  We knew her through prayer requests by Alisha & Tracy Lewis at Lynchwood Church of God as well through Kari Deardorff.  We continue to pray for the Dey family during this difficult time.  Her obituary is written just beautifully. We know that the Lord Jesus is loving and comforting you right now.

With sympathy, Rev. Julie Jackson and family

'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.' RIP'  Jessica Rose Dey an angel sent to us here on earth who has returned to our heavenly father.

What a beautiful angel.  When my daughter passed I wished I had kept a lock of her hair.  This could be comforting to you.  God bless.

May your memories be your comfort. Jessica will be in our hearts forever.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences, Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.
Pamm and Les Davis

Our daughter was lost to us on May 2nd of last year at the age of 36, after a four month battle with Glioma Brain cancer.  Unless you have lost a child, and we have lost both of ours, no one knows the pain you are now enduring.  I write this to let you know that the overwhelming pain does lessen with time, it will never go away but it will get better.  Keep living life the best you can from day to day, remember that when you cry the pain flows out and also your daughter would want you to be as happy as you can be.  One day at a time and know others have suffered this unthinkable loss and share in your pain.

I did. Not know your sweet daughter but I know there is a new bright star in heaven named Jessica Rose

To all of the Dey family, we are deeply saddened by your loss and all that you endured while Jessica was ill.  Our son was in classes with Jessica and told us about her brave spirit in the face of so many struggles.   We cannot even imagine what you are going through and wish you peace in the coming days and months.   Kevin, Laura, Justin and Dana Murphy, Happy Valley OR.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.


Ron, Candy, Brittiany and Lauren -   Our hearts go out to each of you during this very difficult time.  We can only imagine the pain that you have had to endure.  Jessica touched so many lives; she is missed by so many.  We will pray for strength and guidance as you face the difficult days ahead.

We are so sorry for your loss.  We are keeping your family in our prayers. Dick and Sharon Williams, Denton, TX

Ron, Candy, Brittiany, and Lauren,
There are no words to express the depth of our sympathy at this time.  Jessica was extremely brave during her terrible illness, as were all of you.   We send our prayers and love to you.
Mary Bodie and Tom Beaver

Ron, Candy, Brittiany and Lauren,

Our prayers, thoughts and love go out to you in your loss.  Our memories of her are very strong - and she will be greatly missed.
