    Jessica set a wonderful example for all of us to follow at PMC. She always had a smile on her face. You could always count on Jess. She would help out on any committee that asked for her help. You know she adored Parker. He was always involved with volunteering with Jess at the church which drew all of us in to help as well. She made us all a little bit better just by being around Jessica. Jess will be missed.

    “Let Us Hurry”
    Rev. Jan Twardowski

    Let us love people now they leave us so fast
    The shoes remain empty and the phone rings on
    What’s unimportant drags on like a cow
    The meaningful sudden takes us by surprise
    The silence that follows so normal it’s
    Hideous like chastity born most simply from despair
    When we think of someone who’s been taken from us.

    Don’t be sure you have time for there’s no assurance
    As all good fortune security deadens the senses
    It comes simultaneously like pathos and humour
    Like two passions not as strong as one
    They leave fast grow silent like a thrush in July
    Like a sound somewhat clumsy or a polite bow
    To truly see they close their eyes
    Though to be born is more of risk than to die
    We love still too little and always too late.

    Don’t write of it too often but write once and for all
    And you’ll become like dolphin both gentle and strong.

    Let us love people now they leave us so fast
    And the ones who don’t leave won’t always return
    And you never know while speaking of love
    If the first one is last or the last one first.
