We miss you and I hope your happy and in good spirits wherever you are..

Jesse...I still cant believe it. Being friends as long as we were all these years it seems like I took time for granted and just assumed you'd always be around...thats just how it was between us, we'd go our ways and come back and we would just pick up where we left off...old friends with crazy jokes and alot to talk to eachother about. I'll miss your unique sense of humor and ill always miss your friendship. I'm just sorry I didnt get to say goodbye and im sorry to your family for their loss.. God bless you Jesse and everyone else that loved you... Love Always your friend, Lola...

TO MY SON THAT WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED! Son the biggest fear I had was that I would never be able to see my baby, hug my baby and tell my baby how much I love YOU. THAT FEAR CAME TRUE. You may have been my oldes but you were still my baby. We will miss your goofy laugh, jokes, smile, and your sence of humor, and for most just YOU being YOU. You went to rest with your Tata one month and six days after he past. Now your with God and your Nana and Tata, your safe and in good hands they will take care of you like they always have. Son you will deeply be missed. I LOVE YOU! GIVE NANA AND TATA A KISS AND HUG FROM ALL US!

I still can't believe my ears, you left us too soon.It was like the other day when I had talked to you on the phone.You told me that when you were released, you were going to take us to Disneyland. You always knew how to make us smile.I wish just like many others I could press rewind and be able to say goodbye; at least.We always thought about you and you will forever be in our hearts!!

Jessie,
I remeber you as a little boy always eager to read and learn. You were at my house doing your homework when I lived on 27th lane. I had gone to the drug store across your mom house and you wanted to come to my house. You were in the 6th grade and was going to Sutton school. That little boys who had dreams of being a teacher. You liked school so much then. After Tata's passing I found your report card in papers nana saved. You had made HONOR ROLL the whole year!!! I told Gloria I'm going to keep it and then I told her, no I am going to mail it to him. But a few weeks later here we are now. As I never told you, I want you to know as I watch you grow older and farther apart how I wish you had the glow in your eyes to follow your dreams. How time has change and you change your destiny, but I am sure inside your heart those dreams were still there. We take different path in our lives and sometimes it is not our choosing but for comfort. I pray to God to fill your heart with your dreams in heaven, that were really meant for you here on earth. The plans that heavens has for you will soon be answered. Just reach for the sky and you will find your wings. Forgiviness for what took place here on earth has been answered. God Bless You Jessie, and he will bless you and recieve you with open arms.
Love Tia Nena and the Miller family

Jessie...thank you so much for our anniversary, birthday, holiday, and just because songs. You gave us so many laughs. The pictures will be cherished. We laughed over your coffee paper the other day while remembering you. D was waiting to hear from you and on some level he always will be. Your sense of humor will be greatly missed. We love you and will always remember you! We were still there...
