I am so devastated over this news. and so so sorry for the loss of this beautiful girl. Sending love and hugs and please call me if you need to cry/talk/laugh. LOVE YOU.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had choir with her. I remember hearing her sing and thinking she was amazing. I remember her speaking for class president and saying that she loved mostaccioli. I remember her critiquing the singing so it would be perfect. She had a good heart, good personality, and just brought so much to the room. I consider myself lucky just to even have heard her sing. Rest easy Jova
