Rest in peace Uncle Jesse. I can't imagine that my grandmother Olive McLauglin could ever really be mad at anyone but I am told you managed to get the best of her with that chicken feed. But she still always invited you in for supper. Now you can pick on her some more now that you are in heaven. YOu will be missed by us all.
