"I want to see them one more time. I just love how they treat me and stuff like that," Jesy said.
"In an awful situation, we've been blessed to get to know some amazing people. Everyone who took care of Jesy at the scene, checked in with us afterward, made sure we were doing okay, made sure Jesy was doing okay, it's very nice in this time and age to see people who genuinely really, really care," said Phillip Defazio, her grandfather.
Jesy’s grandparents said she is doing okay and hopes to keep in touch with the paramedics.
