Dear Keith and Family,  We wish to express our deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear daughter. We were on vacation on the day of the visitation otherwise we would have been there .  Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.
Your friends, Robert and Michele DeShong

Jessica had a smile that said it all!  I was blessed with her in classes and labs as one of her Fundamentals Nursing Instructors.  Jessica had a way of turning the stress of nursing school into a doable challenge! Her positivity radiated.  Jessica always added great depth to conversations as she critically thought through nursing scenarios. Jessica would have been a great nurse!! Jessica’s spirit will always be remembered.  My thoughts go out to her family in this time of loss.  May your memories bring you comfort as Jessica’s smile helped all that surrounded her. I am truly sorry for your loss.

I only knew Jessica for a semester in nursing school. In that time, we had labs and clinicals together. We bonded and shared laughter. She is a fun, loving young woman. She would have been a great nurse. I will remember you and the times we had ❤

Keith and Terry I am so sorry to hear the passing of your daughter Jessica. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. She was a beautiful young girl.

I did not know Jessica long as she was only with me for a semester in nursing school in Fundamentals of Nursing.  I went back to look at the emails she sent, mostly about school work; however, what a gentle soul that has been lost.  I think she would have made a wonderful nurse.  She will be missed by all!

Over the year’s, it’s hard to think of a time with Jess that didn’t come with a smile. She was so full of life and brought out the best in those around her. She will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. 

All my love to Jess’s family and friends during this hard time.

Our first memory of Jess was at her Aunt Denise's pool, "cannonballing" into the water with her blond ponytail streaming behind her. She was always laughing and gleefully leading her cousins in a pac,  during family get-togethers. As she grew older she met life with enthusiasm, throwing her considerable energy and skill into sports, excelling in so many areas.

Our hearts go out to Keith, Terri, Paige and Michael, but also to her extended family and many friends. Hers was a life full of "firsts" and joyful experiences. Jess made memories for those whose life she touched. She was welcomed into Heaven by God and those who went before her. We can all be comforted by knowing that Jess is there laughing and waiting for those who love her, to spend eternity. Blessings, prayers and love to her family and friends.

Jessica was an absolute fire cracker! She was energetic, kind, funny, and full of personality. Being best friends with Paige growing up, there aren’t too many memories I have that didn’t have Jess in them. Wherever Paige was whether that was by the pool in their backyard, on the soccer field, softball diamond, or the basketball court, Jess was there either playing or cheering us on. My heart goes out to the Yeager family during this hard time and for the days to come. Rest easy Jess, and make sure to shine through the clouds! 

One of the most genuine and radiant souls I’ve ever had the privilege to encounter. More than friends, you’ve always felt like family. Your heart and bright spirit spoke for itself. From teammates, to roommates, to forever soul sisters I will hold every memory near and dear to my heart. Thank you for your smile, countless adventures, and endless love over these last 10+ years. I’ll hold on to them forever. I am sending my deepest love and sympathy to the Yeager family and all of her friends. 

When I saw the obituary online, I was totally stunned and heartbroken. Jess was was a rare gem that created her own path. She could make you laugh at the most inopportune times and shine against the brightest sky. My heart breaks for the entire Yeager family.

Sending prayers to all on this great loss.  May God wrap his arms around your family during this tragic time.  RIP Jessica Lynn Yeager

My deepest sympathy to the Yeager family! I remember Jess as a freshman at Eastern Technical soccer. She was very talented. She stepped in as a freshman and played very well. She was very confident in her ability. She got along well with her teammates. Hoping and praying for strength and healing for Paige and the rest of the Yeager family! 

Jess was one of fiestiest players that I ever coached at Eastern Tech. She never backed down from a challenge. Condolences on behalf of her former Eastern Tech teammates.

My best friend. My burst of light in a dim room. I miss you so much already. We just made so many plans. Everyone was so proud of you, I was just telling you how proud of you I was. We were just celebrating you passing your midterm after you buckled down and studied all day and night. I’m so sorry Mr. Keith, Mrs. Terri and the whole Yeager clan including her puppies and cats. She adored all of you more and anything in this world.  

Words cannot express the deep sadness we feel about the loss of Jess. From the moment we met her as a "fireball" til now, she was such a ray of sunshine. A smile and laugh that could light up a room.  Even though our girls went in different directions after high school, I am  so glad they reconnected and continued the beautiful friendship that they shared. Keith, Terri, Paige and Michael, our thoughts and prayers are with you . We love you Jess! Rest in peace sweet baby girl
