  • It is precious how her mom & grandparents did not instill a hate towards the father. I'm sitting here in tears & full of happiness that they didn't do that.
  • You can sure tell she was raised by fantastic people with lots of love & respect.

    Wow imagine having a Granddad like this. He is so supportive and loving. We all need someone like him I our lives. I wish I had a grandfather like him. This young lady is surround by such love and support.
  • I’m heartbroken. I just googled the family to see if I could find any kind of updates, unfortunately the mum passed away in 2014, dad in 2018, and sadly jazz passed away June 28th of this year at only 28 years old. She was found unconscious living inside of a tent. Although im shocked, I’m glad we were able to see this beautiful family and get a glimpse into their lives while they were here. Jazz & her family have definitely impacted anyone who watched this, Rest In Peace to this wonderful family😞❤️

    What a very special young lady. She is wise beyond her years. You can see the love never died between her mom and dad. I wish them love and health in their lives and recovery. This family is special. I am glad they found each other again.

    This girl is so mature, beautiful, and seems to be such a joy.

    It's so nice that her mother didn't denied her seeing her father, but also went first to make sure everything was okay. We need more moms like her <3
  • The little peptalk from Granddad made me tear up. The sweetest family I've seen on TV in ages. I'm only halfway thru but what a loving family
  • @peacelily7751
    Her beautiful story brought tears to my eyes. She is so brave.
  • Not many people get the opportunity to make up for past mistakes like her dad is. The situation worked out perfectly so she doesn't have to quit school.
  • Any parent would love to have such a respectful, adorable, brave teen
  • What a lovely family! And for a 16 year old she's INCREDIBLY sweet and mature ❤️ We all wish for our teenagers to be so sweet
  • What a wonderful and honest family! Jazz and her mom may be small in size, but their hearts are huge! I believe that Jazz can do anything she sets out to do, she‘s bright and determined, kind and open. Thank you for sharing your story Jazz!

    HER GRANDPARENTS ARE THE SWEETEST ❤❤❤

    Oh Jas, you are one INCREDIBLE person! I adore watching you and your mum and now your dad! It's truly an honour to get this glimpse into who you are! Your mum is fantastic - what a great mum! And your dad who has stepped up big time - I am so pleased for you all! Thank you for doing his program and sharing your family with us viewers! I am so incredibly proud of you - keep up the great work!!!
  • Oh no. Her mum died five years later, then her dad in 2018, then jazz herself was found deceased in the tent she was living in with her fiance last year. They couldn't find a suitable council house. She had antipsychotic medicine in her blood and died of heart failure. She spent at least one stint in a psychiatric unit according to her Instagram. Her look became progressively more 'alternative' and she had an Etsy shop selling 'spooky' and alternative, witchy type wares. Ach, no, makes my heart ache. I wish she could have been saved. God bless you dear, sweet thing. God bless.
  • @oljayoj6902
    Wish I had a grandad like this. How loving is he.
  • @peacelily7751
    Just love her spirit. Don’t let anything or anyone get you down.
