She was also especially fond of all of those who cared for her at the Community North Cancer Center. Visitation is Sunday, January 2, 2011 at St Simon the Apostle from 6:30-9 pm.

Dear Family of Jessica’s:
Please don’t be sad, your daughter, sister, is still alive in my (our) heart and is not gone. She floats above the stars and is playing with warm snow at the feet of our Lord and smiling and noisy and loud as ever 🙂 How can a person with so much energy and vibrant spirit be quiet…Jess always lives…
I was so happy to chat with her on the phone about 5 odd months ago…I wish our schedules would have permitted to see each other…but she is always in my heart…She is a creative, smart, and cute young lady and a little crazy, and many delightful qualities she possesses… :-))
Love you Jess! See you soon on the flip side! Please be strong Sauter Family, I know that your daughter is doing fabulous now after all that her poor body had to undergo on this evil earth; she is happy right now and she looks down on you guys (her family) and sends much love and prayer’s.
warmest wishes and blessings to you and yours

I only worked with Jessica in the Writing Center for a semester, but that shows you how little time a person needed to warm up to her. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that somehow comfort finds you during this difficult time. I will always remember Jessica’s sense of humor, but I was most impressed by her strength–even following the most heartbreaking news. I miss her. Love and peace to all of you during this sad time. -Emily

it was an honor to take care of jess at my hospice for the time we had her. i had talked with carol fletcher about how things were going and i knew you were changing services and that is totally okay. i worked yesterday and the snowman completely melted. i should have taken that as a sign that jess was gone but i was still shocked when i read her obit this morning. god bless all of jess’s family.

Dear John,Veronica,Emily and Jake, Our deepest sympathy to your family at the loss of your daughter and sister Jessica. Our memory of Jessica is most vivid of her being a junior bridesmaid at our daughter Amy’s wedding. That was in 1993 and it seems like yesterday. We will always remember her and her sweet and spunky personality. With love and prayers for all of you. Joe and Linda Wiesner
Amy Wiesner Dunn says
Dear Sauters, I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear about Jessy. I will always remember Jessy as a rambunctious young lady who used to jump on the couch with Emily when I babysat them. Long miles and years are between us, but I just want you to know how much your whole family means to me.

Brian Daniel Sauter says
I am praying for you guys. So sorry I can not be there with you. Jessie was a special person with an amazing heart. We always joked when she was very young how much she was like Mom (school food drives could always count on Jessie), it is truly amazing how their lifes are now similar in their untimely passing. God be with you.
Your loving brother (uncle).

Sauter family,
You are all in my prayers. I was very fortunate to get to know Jessica @ St.Simon. We may have lost touch but thanks to FB I was able to get reconnected with her. I was glad to talk to her for this last short time. She will be missed by many and will see her again on the other side!
My Condolences,

The Korson Family says
Dear John, Veronica, Emily and Jake,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time. Jessica was such a wonderful, spirited young woman. She always brought a smile to the faces of those around her with her sense of humor and caring. God’s kingdom is brighter because of her. She touched our lives and will not be forgotten. Bob told me after Ed Knoop died that “he has just gone where we are all striving to get to.” I found comfort in that statement and hope it can bring some to you at this time. God Bless all of you.

Dear Emily & family, We only know Jessica through Scott’s brief visits. He really liked her & said she was funny despite everything she was going through. He said she was in so much pain near the end. What a blessing for her to finally be free of pain & for all of you to know she is at peace with the Lord in Heaven! What a sight that must be!!
