Jessica Bullen is the woman that Darren Fortney has been E- mailing us about.
District 1 WisDOT was fortunate enough to have her work for us while she pursued her masters degree. She biked to work everyday. She was to have begun working for SEH last Friday. I am forwarding two emails about Jess Bullen's tragic death and the July 6th memorial service. Mike Rewey _____ Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 4:29 PM Subject: Jess Bullen Dear URPL family, I am writing with news of a tragic and terrible loss. Jessica Bullen, a December 2004 URPL graduate and this year's AICP Outstanding Student Award honoree, died this morning from injuries she received in a bicycle-automobile accident on Thursday afternoon. Jess was riding in the countryside near Cottage Grove when she was hit from behind by a car. Although she was wearing a helmet and had no broken bones, the accident left her comatose with an irreversible brain stem injury. Jess's family, her partner, Michael, and Michael's family were here with her over the past few days. Arrangements are pending. I will send another e-mail with details, including places to which condolences and memorials can be sent, when that information is available. We were so very privileged to have Jess among us. Marcia _____ Sent: Monday, July 04, 2005 2:33 PM Subject: Service for Jess Bullen this Wednesday Dear URPL Family: A nontraditional, casual service will be held for Jess Bullen on Wednesday, July 6, at 7:30 p.m., at Giddings Park in Madison. Giddings Park is located behind Christ Presbyterian Church on Lake Mendota at the end of North Brearly Street, off East Gorham Street. Family and friends will be gathering in the small clearing behind the church. Michael and Jess's family say that there will be opportunities for people to share memories and photographs of Jess, or to read something brief in memory of her if you wish.
