I am so very sad to learn of Jocelyn's passing. We grew up together at St. Gabriel's, and we lived just a few blocks away. I can fondly recall our playdates, one during which she introduced me to the movie \"All Dogs go to Heaven\" shortly after I lost a beloved cat (it's a very therapeutic movie for kids after losing a pet..). I remember how she helped a new classmate of ours settle in and feel at home in elementary school, and how she taught me to apply makeup after junior high gym class once. She was so outgoing, and outspoken, which was inspiring to me as an awkward young teenager.
I will remember Jocelyn as the girl who could be friends with everyone, no matter what 'clique' they belonged to.. a rare quality for a young girl.
We hadn't spoken in years, but I was glad to learn that she got to enjoy a family who loved her so much during her lifetime.
May her soul rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon her. I will be praying.
