I remember Jesse like it was yesterday.That shy smile,and all the questions.He truly cared about people and life. Loving every moment. Running,playing, and laughing.He had a smile that could brighten any day.I never knew him to ever tell a lie. One Very Special person. He will always be in our hearts ( the people who knew him best). In school he was a whiz! Only had good things to say about everyone.I learned a lot from him. My prayers and thoughts are with Sara and Chuck,friends of many years. Growing up with Chuck I could see him through his son. Chuck was quiet and smart also. Sara was a wonderful neighbor.After surgery she came over and made sure I was all right. She gave me her phone so I would not have to get up. I called her my ANGEL. Bless you both. Will keep you in my heart always.
