JESSICA PLATT On Sunday, February 10, 2013, Jessica passed away unexpectedly at the age of 22. Jessica was a cheerful and enthusiastic young woman who could light up a room with her smile. She is sadly missed by her friends, family and especially by her grandparents, John and Donna Lee. Jessica attended Epiphany Children's Centre, Riverbend Community School, Seven Oaks Middle School, Maples Collegiate and presently, the U. of W. and Trailblazers. From an early age she was actively involved with charities, fund raising and often featured in the media. Jessica lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed being at the lake, riding her Freedom bike, eating out and most of all, being included by her friends. In recent years Jessica has been an avid fan of country music concerts, Moose and Jets hockey and Goldeyes Baseball. A service of remembrance will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 23, 2013 at Neil Bardal Funeral Centre, 3030 Notre Dame Avenue (across from Brookside Cemetery). In memory of Jessica, donations may be made to Children's Rehabilitation Foundation, 633 Wellington Crescent, Winnipeg, MB R3M OA8. NEIL BARDAL FUNERAL CENTRE 204-949-2200 www.nbardal.mb.ca

One of my favourite JJ memories is watching her and my grandpa killing themselves laughing at family get togethers. They always had such a blast together. She always made my grandpa so happy! J.J would often come visit me at the Skateboard shop I worked at and would be beaming every time I saw her. She had such an amazing and intense energy. I feel very lucky to have had JJ as a buddy. I will miss her dearly. She was a very cool little lady! - Posted by: Sheena Crookes (Friend and family ) on: Feb 22, 2013

I was honored to have worked with Jessica from grade 6-8 at 7 Oaks Middle School. She showed me what courage looks like, what love feels like, and what loyalty should be like. She was a girly girl, enjoying listening to music, looking at magazines that featured film stars, and listening to her friends talk about fashions. All of us, that had the honor to work with her will miss her a great deal. My heart goes out to her grandparents.

John & Donna we are at a loss for words to say what we have in our hearts with the loss of your greatest joy on earth, JJ. May God walk beside you as you mourn your loss and somehow bring you peace. John you were one of the best parents I have ever known and you brought JJ up living a life of joy, happiness, adventure and many, many happy times. We could see it on her every time we saw you together. Donna, you filled JJ's life with such love and saw that she was included in everything she could possibly want to do. You both brought the greatest gift God could give to anyone and that is love, patience and joy! Peace be with both of you. We love you so much! - Posted by: Dorrie & Harry (Cousin) on: Feb 19, 2013

Jessica, the world will miss your brilliant smile and your infectious laugh. I remember the many times we spent together either at school or that infamous camping trip with the grade fives at Riverbend. I only wish we had brought that tree back with us. You will be missed totally and remembered forever by Ryan, Tim and I. - Posted by: Val Surbey (Friend) on: Feb 19, 2013

Jessica was one of the most amazing children I have ever had the privileged of caring for and spending time with while I was the Site Manager for many years at the school age before and after child care center she attended. She was such a happy energetic child, full of great positivity and eager to try new things. She easily made everyone around her smile and laugh. She had many friends. She was very expressive, vocal, outgoing and had the kind of confidence that most people only dream about having. Even at a young age she knew what she wanted and had the drive and determination to ensure that her life experiences were full of the things she felt were important and fun to her. I loved that about her. Even though I was not able to stay involved in her life I thought about her often. I would smile thinking about all the laughter and fun filled memories that we had experienced together with her childhood peers and other Early Childhood Educators who were also lucky like me to get to know her. I was certain that as she grew up she would experience many more fun filled adventures along the way, and accomplish many great things. It sounds like she continued to lead an enriched full life, doing just that. John and Donna, though you may not remember me, I just wanted to say that you were amazing with Jessica and the love that you have for each other was clearly seen each and every day. I am very sorry for your loss and even though I know there is nothing I can do or say to make things better please know that the two of you and Jessica impacted my life in such a way that I never forgot about you and I never will. Jessica was very lucky to have you for grandparents and I feel lucky to say that I got to be a part of her life. Thank you for that. She will continue to have a special place in my heart always and forever - Posted by: Natasha (Child Care Provider ) on: Feb 18, 2013

Dearest JJ, We loved sharing every birthday, Christmas, and special event together! If we had plans to go on an outing, we always asked if you would like to join us. We were disappointed if you were unable to join us at an event. Our most enjoyed moments, besides birthday celebrations were shared at the Annual Cerebral Palsy Stationary Bike Race, the CP picnics and festive gatherings, various events at the Children's Rehabilitation Centre, sledding, swimming, hanging out at your cottage in your very special Winnie the Pooh room, and riding our Freedom Concept bikes together at the zoo. Boston Pizza will never be the same without your squeals of delight, your tremendous humour, and your joyful, bubbly spirit! We shared so very many happy times together! These precious memories will help fill the void as we learn to go on in life without you. And JJ, thank you so much for so very generously sharing Grampa John and Gramma Donna with us! We won't let them be lonely! We'll make sure we carry on the tradition of chicken fingers and curly fries! You blessed so many people, made MANY people smile, including those we'd come across as we met on outings! This world will never be the same without you, but we look forward to the day when we will all gather, where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, and no more physical limitations! - Posted by: Morran Clan (Sibling Wannabees) on: Feb 16, 2013

Jessica: We will all miss that brilliant smile. I have many wonderful memories, not the least of which was the camping trip with Riverbend school at the B'nai Brith campsite in Kenora. You were so loved and will be so missed. Love Val - Posted by: Val Surbey (Friend) on: Feb 16, 2013
