IRWIN, Jessica Nicole (Jess)

We share with broken hearts that our beautiful daughter Jessica (aged 15) was tragically taken from us on Saturday 27th April 2024 in Samoa.

Our gutsy, determined Jessica who was one of a kind, will be forever missed by her Mum and Dad, Robin and Blair. Jessica’s younger brother Phillip, will miss his sisters cheeky teasing. Loved and cherished Granddaughter of David and Jenene Irwin (Papa and Mama) and the late Bill and Hazel Wilson (Grandad and Gran). Dearly loved niece, cousin and delightful friend to many.

You are welcome to join the family for a service at the Winton Presbyterian Church on Wednesday 8th May at 1.30pm followed by a private interment. Messages to 4 Price Road, Winton 9720

Jessica
When a light is as bright
as the light you shone
there is no such thing
as truly gone

When a smile is as precious
as the one you wore
you live in our hearts
for evermore

When one so loved
Is taken too soon
the love that is left
Could outshine the moon

Beautiful child your time was so short
the memories you leave
are threads of gold
woven through hearts
of those who grow old

Robin, Blair, Philip, Jenene David and Irwin families please know you are surrounded by the love and compassion of the entire Winton community and beyond.We share your pain with the deepest sympathy.
