R.I.P Jess, I'll miss you always!

On July 6th I got the worst news I've ever gotten. I received a text message from Timi telling me to call her...this is very unusual for the fact that I know she HATES talking on the phone. I call her and she tells me to sit down before she tells me anything....now I KNOW somethings wrong.
My second semester IU roommate and good friend from the Marching Hundred, Jessica Ruiz, died in a car crash on the 4th of July this year. Here's what her cousin wrote on her facebook about what happened that night...

"A witness has contacted the family and informed us that a 27 year old was driving a BMW and he wasn't from the area. He had ran the witnesses off the road so they chase him down to get a license plate number. The said they were going 90mph just barely keeping up with him. He took the curve going around 120 mph when he struck Jessica's car. Jessie's car was launched air born and turn around in the field. The witness ran to Jessica's car and told her they were calling 911 but they couldn't find a pulse. The lady stayed with Jessie holding her head in case she was just unconscious, and then her car burst into flames. The couple broke into her passenger side window to get Jessica out but the engine was in Jessica's lap and there was no way to get her out or around the engine. They went back to the driver side window and Jessie was smashed between her steering wheel and the driver's side door and the door wouldn't budge. There was nothing they could do.

The couple said the man that killed Jessica had alcohol on his breath and wasn't aware that he had even hit Jessica until he saw that his own car was wrecked. He was air lifted to the hospital but only sustained minor scrapes and bruising."

Here are some links to the papers and news channels that are running her story:

I don't even know where to begin on how amazing Jessica was. I met her last year in the Marching Hundred. She played piccolo so I saw her a lot for the fact that the piccolos hung out with the clarinets a lot. Right before the second semester began she told me I could move in with her. She knew that I didn't like my roommate and offered the empty bed to me, rather than keeping the room to herself. Now I knew that she was from Syracuse, IN...but we found out through talking that we had known each other way before last year. It turned out that she played in the orchistra with me in 5th grade. There were nights where we wanted to sleep, but we would just stay up and talk. I remember one night we talked until about 5 in the morning, about everything...I believe the conversation started about shoes lol. I know I haven't had many roommates, but she was the best one I've had.
I made a short video/slide show thingy in memory of her. I didn't have very many pictures of her, so I used the ones that I had and then the ones that people had tagged her in on Facebook. The song I chose is called "Journey to the Past" from the movie Anastasia. I chose this song because I remember that she loved this movie, and this was her favorite song from it, if I'm not mistaken.
