Jessica Rekos was a beautiful 6-year-old girl who made us laugh every single day.  She was smart, quick-witted, and compassionate.  She was a natural leader - always teaching and helping others in her class, her neighborhood, and her family.  Jessica was busy learning her multiplication facts, teaching herself about Orca whales, watching movies about horses, writing in her journal, reading books about whales, horses, and fairies, caring for her fish Betty, and playing with her little brothers as she looked forward to Christmas, 2012.  

Jessica's life was taken at Sandy Hook School on December 14, 2012.  The void she left is felt every moment of every day. For over 8 years we ran The Jessica Rekos Foundation in her honor.  Our Foundation is closing down, but if you would like to make a donation to an organization that honors Jessica, please visit: The Jessica Rekos Foundation - Whale & Dolphin Conservation USA (whales.org)
