Jesse, I am honored to have had you in my life, my family and my heart for the last 35 years. You have been not just family, but our friend. I love you more than words can express, and feel like a part of me has been lost. I will always be thankful for the time we had, and will always cry for the times we won't get to have. I will keep your beautiful sons in my heart and in my arms as part of our family forever for you, and they will always know what a truly amazing man their father was. A piece of my heart goes with you, my friend. I love you.

From the deepest parts of my soul, I miss you Jesse. I have to think that the spark that you carried in life will now shine down on us all from heaven, a true shining star. As hard (so hard) as it is to believe that we will never see you again, I know that God must have had a bigger purpose for you in heaven. Watch over your boys Jesse and keep us all safe- be our shining light when the darkness creeps in. We will meet again one day my friend and I will hug you then as I wish I had got to hug you one last time here on earth. Forever your friend, Susie
