She became a second mother to many of their friends as they all played outside in the backyard. Jessica loved to read mystery novels, solving crossword puzzles, and knitting blankets.  Some of her favorite hobbies were making baby blankets for new arrivals, and warm winter ones.  Her face was always bright around her grandson, Thomas. They spent lots of time at the movies and going to amusement parks. Sesame Place was the top of the list.
