Gone but not forgotten. Today would have been Jennifer Kesse's 32nd birthday and even though the Orlando woman has not been seen since 2006, family and loved ones are still planning to celebrate her life.
Kesse was last seen leaving her condominium near the Mall at Millenia on Jan. 24, 2006.
Her family sent a letter to News 13 in honor of her birthday:
Good morning to all and sorry for the blind copy. We, Jennifer Kesse's family, wish to reach out today to inform you that this coming Monday, May 20th, Jennifer, our daughter/sister will turn 32 years old or she will remain 24 forever. This day out of any day of the year is the hardest for our family, even more than the day she was taken, 1/24/2006. It is the day that Joyce and myself welcomed Jennifer into our world with our unconditional love. Jennifer has given us so many things to remember her by and try and live up to. She is our first born and our love for her will never wain, it will only increase as we go on in this life without her present in ours. We will celebrate Jennifer's Birthday as we always do and will, privately. We ask that if you can please donate blood in her name. We, her family are active blood donors and it does save lives.
As we continue in our fight to find Jennifer and bring her home, for the good or bad, we ask that you please pass on her website to all you know, www.findjenniferkesse.com. After the events of the past 2 years as we have seen 5 long term missing loved ones return home, it gives this family renewed Hope that we too will be the recipient of Jennifer being found. She is loved and missed beyond what words can tell or convey.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prays.
Respectfully,
Drew, Joyce, Logan and Katie Kesse
