A
life so full of love and passion, a life so gentle and
caring
I
did not know Jessica Cowling personally, yet today I
feel differently.
My
husband asked me if I knew of a company called Sleepy
Badger Brands while reading the Sun in Anne Arundel
this morning. I answered, "I am not sure"
as I stroke my keyboard busily trying to answer all
my morning e-mails.
After
a silent moment, I asked curiously "Why?"
He said, "The owner was a 31 year old". I
heard the "was" part, but somehow it did not
register for me, I did not want it to.
"She
baked her treats from her home" continued my husband.
"She had cancer." He read on
I
got up. Pulled on the pages of the newspaper and saw
the picture of a young woman as I heard my husband say,
"She has died."
31-year-old
lover of life Jessica Cowling has died on July 4th,
2002. In pain, I searched for her website on line. The
same black and white photo of Jessica on the newspaper
smiled at me through her company website.
She
is wearing an oversized shirt, her hands barely showing,
her arms lifted as if she is ready to hug everyone,
a heart warming pure smile on her young face
I
sit here now with a black and white picture of Jessica,
which I cannot stop looking at. Jessica Hammill Cowling
lives through her work, family, friends and loved ones.
I
will remember you Jessica...
