Taking to Instagram on what would have been her father's birthday, the TV personality opened up about the void her dad's death left in her heart.

Even though Jessica misses her dad terribly, she is comforted by the way he raised her. 

"My dad raised me to be strong, powerful, confident and own it, own who I am... be proud of who I am. To put God first and always be praying, about everything. I am the living word.Day by day I’m learning to walk in his teachings."
