Sending love on your birthday xx

Sending love, I’ve been thinking about you all today xxxx

Another year and always in our thoughts. Thinking of Brenda, Tony, Polly, Hannah, Grandchildren and all the doggies at this sad time. Dance little angel like no ones watching xxx

Wherever you are Jess, we send you love and hugs on this your 19th birthday.  Dancing with the stars and a sprinkle of blue glitter wherever you go.
We love you always and forever xxx

Another year and another birthday. 19 years old today. My delightful baby girl gave me fulfilment as a Mum. Without her by my side is excruciating, not just on your birthday but it can be any day. I'm relearning to live with my sorrow and my pain. I try very hard every single day to remain friendly and smile. Say good morning or bom dia in Portuguese even if others don't reply. No one can ever know what people hide behind their smile. For many of us we do not want to share our sadness with everyone we might meet. My relationship with Jessica was and remains very special. Her joy, her sense of fun and her laughter. Infectious. Her maturity and her willingness to try to fit in. Try to belong. Try new things. Trying to find out about herself and others as she grow up. Her brightness can never, ever fade. It continues to shine everywhere. We must all learn to look that's all. The sunshine, the stars, the moon, the rainbow, the flowers, the birds and the butterflies. Love you to the moon and back. For all eternity.....Mum xxxx

Happy birthday Jess I miss you ❤️

To Brenda and Tony,
Wasnt sure what to put then saw this on fb and knew it was the sign I was looking for.

When tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart ❤. Luv and hugs Sxx

You have all been in my thoughts today, sending love to you all xx

Beautiful angel. Forever missed and Brenda, Tony, Polly, Hannah and family always in my thoughts. God bless little one

Sadly I never got to meet Jess but feel I have got to know her through the beautiful personal tributes. Clearly an exceptional, much loved and loving individual whose character shines through in every tribute. The memory of Jessica will indeed be with you all forever. With love xx

On your 18th Birthday beautuful Jess X
You will always be that little Ray of sunshine leaving your sparkle everywhere for everyone X
One of our favourite memories is the Lawsons regular New years eve visits! It was never very long before your sweetie radar went off Jess and off you would go to see what you could find in the kitchen X A young Gracie making a quick escape upstairs under the beds then you following her..
Lots of fun, lots of laughter, thankyou for that Jess we loved it.
We love you always.

Jess, we knew you from being a baby and watched you grow in to a special little girl. Forever in our thoughts, an angel too beautiful for this world! Yesterday would have been your 18th birthday and as my twin grandchildren approach their 18th in a few weeks time it makes it all the more heartbreaking to realise all the special moments that have been lost. And yet in your short time on this earth you had a wonderful childhood with the best parents anyone could ask for.

7 years of the best friendship
i had the honour of been friends with Jessica for a full 7 years, spending all them years laughing together, dancing together, crying together, making up our own secret language, and games.
Our year 6 residential holds so many amazing memories i was on the bottom bunk and you was on the top, always staying up giggling when the teachers told us to go to sleep and lots of adventures. The memories we have will last a life time Jessica and will always have a special place in my heart. Happy 18th Birthday i wish you was here to celebrate with us but i know you are celebrating somewhere in heaven, you truly were one in million.
Until i see you again carry on dancing and been the brightest star in the sky, forever and always xx

We had the privilege of knowing Jess for such a relatively short time. This bundle of energy, a beautiful girl. To all of her family, those who were special to her, and loved by Jess, we will have a connection through her, and will remember her forever

Hello Jess,

I was privileged to meet you at about a day old in the hospital, you were so beautiful and so perfect you completed and complemented the whole of the Lawson family and you were and still are loved so very much.

I knew you as you grew up and I saw you grow from a tiny baby into a beautiful young girl. You had the fortune to belong to a family who enjoyed life and took you on many adventures.

Today on your 18th birthday you should have been celebrating with your family as both you and your dad shared this special day. I’m certain cake and probably a takeaway (as you couldn’t have gone out) would have featured in the Lawson house along with balloons and music.

Jess wherever you are fly high young lady, dance to your song, sprinkle this land with your sparkles be that rainbows or feathers or robins I will always look for them and know that you are safe.

Jess we love you and we always will, thank you for being part of my life.

Love
Al xxxxx

Today is Jessica's 18th birthday. I know we discussed the plans for it many years ago. Because her sister Polly was 5 years older....Jess always talked about when it would be her birthday. What she wanted to do compared to Polly's birthdays. Her 13th her 16th and her 18th. I remember telling Jess that 2020 was a big year for celebrations in our family and I had every reason to organise something special. Not only Jessie's 18th today but also my 60th and our 20th wedding anniversary on 22nd March 2020. So...of course our plans for this year included a revisit trip to Las Vegas where me and Antony married on 22nd March 2000. How exciting would that have been. To renew our vows with Polly and Jess by our sides. That hasn't happened and actually couldn't have happened because the world turned on its head with Covid in 2020. Never project too far ahead for your future happiness. Be in the moment. No one knows what may happen.

This message was written 2 years ago today...but I never managed to complete this website. here is what I'd written...Today is my beautiful daughters sixteenth birthday. How exciting should we all be feeling? The planning, the scheming and the partying. I know her so well. Food and dancing would have played a massive part in the Party of all party’s. A disco, lights and I think a massive chocolate fountain with fruit and marshmallow kebabs. Yet whatever we should be doing ... we’re not. Jessica was born on her Dad Antony’s 40th birthday 2002. To share a birthday is very special. To not have Jess with us today is excruciatingly painful. Yet it is now 16.50pm and we’ve got this far. Filling our day, making press announcements. Speaking to journalists. We have not forgotten anything that has happened and despite moving away we have not ‘gone away’. Strange for me today as Polly at the dentist this afternoon and now at the hairdressers. Then tonight if we can push through we go to the cinema with friends who have invited us. Special friends in the Algarve who try hard to support. So.. we will see. Ending this day doing what Jess loved. Watching a good film and probably eating sweeties. drinking orange Fanta and popcorn. Love always and forever Mum xxxx
