Lisa and I wanted the family to know our prayers are with you all in this time of grief. It was my pleasure in life to have Jessie as my friend and second mom in which no one would ever know how good she was to the Pope family. In our times of grief and death in our family she was always there for us all. She will always be remembered to me as being a kind warmhearted lady who knew all our needs and problems. She offered more than once some very good advice which I should have listerned more. Jessie was there for my mom in her death and I always will love her for being there everyday for my dad in his later years. She raised the five kids plus all the grandkids like they were her own. Susan would have never been able to deal with the deaths of our mom and dad without the guidance and friendship of Jessie. I know as Gregory said the other day that she in now in heaven with our mom and dad. There could never be enough words to express my feeling to what she meant to me and our our entire family.

Love always
