Maybe @SHales has more info?

So sad. Jess was a sweetie.

Is this really true? I've followed and cheered her on since 2010. What a sad loss.

I remember her very well from before and after her DS. She was very inspirational. I'm not able to access the video you posted. Is there any info on what happened to her?
This is just so very sad. My condolences to her family and friends.

Larra, others may have more info.

The link is to her story on DSFacts. The photo was a screenshot of her FB posted on OH DS Famiy. I went to her FB profile but I wasn't a friend, so it didn't show to me.

It is so sad when somebody this young passes. This world is really cruel sometimes..

@southernlady I was able to read the stuff from dsfacts, though I was somehow missing a way to access the rest but apparently not. Please let us know if you learn anything more. And thank you for letting us know this sad news.

This is so very sad. My heart goes out to her family.

Very sad. Someone posted on a FB group that they'd read it may have been due to liver failure but it's all speculation. My condolences to her family and friends.

 

[Munchkin]

I heard liver failure too. But I have no idea what really happened. She will be missed! RIP Jessica!

I remember being moved to tears when first reading her story. Only 26, this is so sad! My condolences to her family.

As I recall, she was wise beyond her years and an incredible inspiration. I feel blessed to have known her story and sorry that she is gone.
