Her sisters were her best friends. Jessica loved the OU Sooners, gardening, baking, and her most recent hobby: crocheting. Even though she’d just taken up crocheting, one would think she’d been doing it her entire life. Jessica and Richard enjoyed attending their church, Life Church, in Edmond, OK. They also had many friends with which they spent a good deal of time. Jessica had many close friends she played Bunco with each month. She adored these ladies and cherished her time with them.
