For Jessica Wheeler

A chapter in the book Tributes

Jessica's Song and Dance Party

by Debi Pick Marquette


Our Jessica's been writing since she learned to hold a pen

She knew already then, she'd write again and then again

Her first poem she had published in school paper at age nine 

And it would not surprise me if she soon had books to sign



Jess went to a performing school, Ed Center for the Arts  

And she'd perform and sing in town; she would play many parts 

In college, radiation therapy, her career plan

That's where she met love of her life, her husband to be, Dan



Then they would start a family, first sweet Morgan was born

And Jessica could barely stand to leave her every morn

So she put her career on hold to be a full time mom

And their life in Connecticut, at that time was still calm



Then sadness came upon them when her sister, Kelly died. 

And Jessica had never felt that kind of pain inside

Then thankfully their little newborn Camryn came along

And Jessica knows that her girls both help her to stay strong



Once Jess and Kelly wrote music when Kelly was alive

But Jess would Stop ~ she wasn't even sure how she'd survive

Then early Twenty Twenty Three, she came to FanStory

And now she writes about her loss and how it came to be 



Three poems and a short story published, what a winning streak

Congratulations, keep using your wonderful technique

So dance through life with your loved ones and do it cheek to cheek

And Happy Birthday, Jess, we love you and think you're unique
