The 12 year old Orange County seventh-grader, called “Jessie” by family and friends, lost her 10 month battle with cancer on January 5th, 2012.
Jessie and her parents started The NEGU Foundation, a nonprofit organization to raise awareness of pediatric cancer, support sufferers and raise money for research. The foundation sold and provided thousands of “JoyJars” stuffed with candy and toys to sick children. More than 3,000 were sold and distributed in 27 states last year.

A celebration service is scheduled for tonight at 6pm inside Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, where Pastor Rick Warren will lead the memorial service.
If you can’t attend, please set aside a few minutes tonight to say a prayer for Jessie’s family and friends during this difficult time.
