    Ill always remember Jazzy for her beautiful smile, outstanding personality, motivation towards life. The deaf community who knew her are stunned by her immediate death. We pray she is in a much better place; soaring high with the angels. Until we meet again~ Jasmine Jahan Zachary: Forever missing you.
