Not only is Jessica Melissa’s sister but she is also her best friend. Melissa wouldn’t picture herself going through this experience without her sister by her side. She is the one that Melissa has always looked up to and could confide in with everything. Jessica is the one who has always had her back and best interest at heart. Favorite Jessica memory: One of my favorite moments with Jessica was when she did a tribute video of me for my 21st birthday. I remember crying like a baby! She put so much time into that video it was just amazing.
