Hi JJ! I never got the chance to meet you, but I wanted to tell you who I am! I'm Royce, and I'm dating your daughter Luci. I wish you were here to see how big she's grown and how successful she's become! I'm very proud of seeing how strong she is, and I'm sure you would be proud of her if you were still here with us. She loves you and misses everyday! Here are some pictures of her, all grown up! :)
Our hearts break for you and your family. All the time we spent with JJ, Molly, & Luci at the YMCA showed us what a great and wonderful person and mother she was. The girls were always so happy and bubbly and JJ really loved being there with them. She will be dearly missed by all the lives she touched with her smile. We send our thoughts and prayers to you all.

I have thought about you nonstop since hearing the news of your passing. I know we didn't know each other well, but every time I saw you, you had a big smile on your face and could make anyone feel comfortable. You seemed to find fun in all you did and your smile was contagious. I am thinking of your husband and especially your sweet girls, who will have to grow up without their beloved mommy. I am so sad for your daughters, the absence that you have left in their world is unimaginable and heartbreaking, but I know you will be looking down upon them. I'm so so sorry that you aren't here to enjoy the sunshine and smell the flowers blooming anymore. I will take more time to stop and enjoy the little moments, to hug my daughters longer and harder and to find positivity in everything I do, as a tribute to you. Rest in peace JJ.
I am so sorry for your loss. JJ was such a kind,caring person and will be missed greatly.
I will always strive to be like you. A wonderful friend, a beautiful wife, and one of the best mothers I have ever seen. The loss is inconceivable. You are so loved and will be so missed
JJ, I hope you know how much we all love you! You touched so many of us with your warmth and happiness, you're welcoming attitude and your smile. I will never forget what an impact you made in my life in such a short time. Our friendship was cut way too short, my friend. I love you.
Kris, JJ adored you. She spoke often of how much she loved you, how hard you work to support her and the girls. You made her so happy. Life gets busy, but I am so happy that you all went on your Spring Break trip, so that you could spend time together. She was so excited to do that with all of you!
Luci and Molly, Your mama also adored you! She waited a long time for you to come and I am so saddened that she did not get to enjoy you for as long as she should have. I will do my best to be by your side, to remember her with you, and to give you hugs, although I know they will never compare to mamas hugs.

Kris, Luci, and Molly,
Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. J.J. was truly a blessing to all who knew her and her love of the three of you is well known. I heard a song yesterday that made me think of her - "Live Like That" by Sidewalk Prophets. J.J. did live like that, pouring her love and care out to others and lighting up our world with grace, humor and joy. May the presence of Christ give you peace in the days ahead.

Sending sincere condolences to you all. I do not know the family but anytime I hear of the loss of someone close to my age, it always makes me reflect on my life. My heart goes out to the husband and young children. May you find comfort and hope in God's promise to very soon bring about a changed condition on this earth where sickness and death will be a thing of the past. Rev. 21:3,4.
Dear J.J,
I know we didn't know each other very well, but every even we saw you at you were truly a light in the room. You always had on a beautiful smile and were always so full of warmth and joy. I'm so glad for all the time that we got to hang out together, like when we had pizza at the preschool fund raiser. Your daughters are so lucky to have such an amazing mother. I loved your FB posts, and talking with you there. I was so shocked, we'd just texted each other a couple days ago. Your grandma and I had planned to put in a strawberry garden at your house for you in the girls on Friday, but now we only get to see you one more time. It breaks my heart. Your family trip looked like you had an amazing time, and I got to see you commenting on gods light coming down in big rays through the clouds. I'd like to think you will be most amazing light of all up there now. You live on in two amazing little girls. May you find peace and solace.
Love,
Holly, Ana, Eliza, and Emma Brezynski/Smith. <3
