Not sure what to say?

When I walk on the beach especially - is my "Jesse" time...remembering all the special things about you. Those we love the most seem to travel with us wherever we go. You are most loved, my little moonhanger.

Jesse: As the weeks have passed I just wanted you to know that I have found great comfort in the terrific memories you left behind - all your funniness, your sweetness, kindness and nonjudgement - thank you for all those. We will all miss you and love you always. Just wanted to send a hug your way till I see you again. I was always proud to say, "that's my grandson". Extra love, Mema

I miss everything about you big brother. Thinking of you

Amy-I just found out about your loss. I am so sorry and my heart is so heavy for you. What a sweet young man he was. Please know I am thinking of you and praying for your family. Hugs, Missie Hinson

Jesse was a fine young man who was well loved by his dedicated and supportive family. With his generous and loving spirit he embraced an eclectic group of friends that included athletes, frat boys, youngsters, old timers, conservatives and free thinkers. He was one of the good guys and he will be missed as much as he was loved.

Amy,

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. Please take care of yourself and know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jesse was devoted to his family, and will be remembered for his kind heart, his willingness to help, and his enormous love for his Mom and Dad, sister and brother, his grandparents. I will always remember the tender care he gave his Granddad over the last several months, and how much that means to him, and to me. You will be forever in our hearts, Jesse, and may God hold you in His loving arms as you rest in peace, until we see you again. We love you.

Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through, hopefully you will find comfort in knowing his memories live on and he will always be watching over you. You and your family are in my prayers to make it through this difficult time.

Amy, In the short time that we worked together at SHS, we would have mulitple phone conversations that always ended up talking about our child(ren), sharing stories. You and your family have my deepest sympathy and will be in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
