I can barely see the keyboard as I type this....been weepy the past two hours. I only this morning learned of Jesse's passing more than a month ago! Elaine and Rob -- I am so, so sorry that I didn't know. I rarely read the KC Star anymore and am traveling constantly and.....But all that is no excuse. I lost two brothers who died at a young age so I know the grief of parents who watch their child pass away far too young. My heart and prayers go out to you, Emilie, Jon, David, Bethany --- all of your lovely children and extended family. -- David Chartrand

Dear Rob, Elaine, and all of the Munyan family -

Our memories of Jesse as an exhausted and contented member of opening day pheasant hunters is a happy one. He pitched in wholeheartedly to help with every part of that Nebraska weekend. And with all the guys, fell fast asleep like sardines on the living room floor after dinner. We felt priviledged to have had that brief time with him. They are memories we will treasure.

Our prayers join those of so many others who hold Jesse and all of you up in the presence of God.
