Jessica is the daughter of my best friend of 27 years. Jess is like family to us and we couldn’t be more proud of her. Her grades were spectacular and although she could have had her choice of schools she chose to attend the University of Iowa in the fall to be closer to home.

Congratulations, Jess! We’re all busting with pride. And thanks for being such a sweet girl all these years. You do your mother proud! Have a fun, carefree summer, Kiddo, you deserve it!
