We met online many years ago and instantly bonded over writing. We would share stories and she helped me in ways I could never repay. An endless love she had for people she cared about. We would joke about her and Tyler visiting Australia and her wanting to swim with sharks. I would tell her she was nuts. She once saved me from a really dark place and I am forever grateful to her. What a huge loss to nit only her friends and family, but to the world. Rest in peice you beautiful person.
I met JJ in 2015. In one of our darkest moments and she greeted me with love and was able to turn me from hopeless to hopeful. Fast forward and we still are keeping in touch, but we start a friendship I’d never know I’d have. She gave me the hard truths about who I was surrounding myself with and after I dropped the dead weight she was right back there. We spent New Years 2020 together then had weekly movie nights. We celebrated the 2020 SuperBowl together and she was more than irritated when I came over wearing a Tigers jersey to a football game. Then Covid hit and we spent our time at parks hanging out when the world was at a stand still. She used to brag how she as essential and told me not to get within 6 feet of her. Eventually, she found Tyler and was head over heals in love. She wrote a published book and my girlfriend and I were never so proud of where she came from to where she went too. Summer of 2023, we finally arranged to have a dinner after years of just snap chatting daily. We lived an hour away and kept in touch the best we could though life was throwing us different hurtles our way. Katie, Caleb, and I packed up the car and drove to southgate to have dinner with jj and Tyler. Even with a medical condition she continued to be a gracious host and cook for not only all of the adults, but also was worried about what our autistic child would tolerate eating. We played our usual game and I gave her a gift of her book printed on wood. I told her I would get her another one once the book was published. Her eyes lit up and she was determined. You were the best friend any one could have asked for. You really are going to be missed. Our snap streak that we kept up on consistently (if you don’t know it goes up by 1 day after both parties sent a picture) was up to 1168. For the past few days I’ve been blowing up your Snapchat and messenger telling you it’s urgent for streaks. This morning, the told me our streak ended and gave me 1 saving Grace to restart it. I did and I got pumped I could not wait to tell you. Then I saw the news. My heart is broken. You were an amazing friend, person, wife, daughter, and aunt. I can’t wait to meet you again and hear “Welcome to my humble aboad” one last time. 💔
I'm so sorry for your loss.
