“… She just had a way of making everything better…”

Jomarie was a true friend in every sense of the word. I feel incredibly lucky that our paths crossed during our time in choir at Amat. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful for the bond we built. She wasn’t just incredibly talented; she was also one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever known. We grew close during SCVA choir camps, sharing laughs, inside jokes, and unforgettable moments. She had a great sense of style and was always helping me pick out outfits. She just had a way of making everything better. In high school, Jomarie had my back like no one else. She knew how to cheer me up when I was down, how to make me laugh when I needed it most, and how to simply be there. I’ll always love her for that. Even after we graduated, we stayed close. I visited her in San Francisco for a weekend, and it was one of the best times. We spent those days laughing, eating, singing, and exploring her city. She welcomed me with so much warmth, and I’ll never forget how full of life and joy she was.
