Dear Judy and Family,
There will never be another "Jesse Lee Pate." I feel such a void in my heart knowing that Jesse will no longer be greeting me when I come to work with a "HI HONEY!!" He has touched so many of our lives at Golden Living Center and he will never be forgotten! My prayers will always be with you and your family.
