Jesse was a fine person and I'll always remember his smile, and laughter. My earliest memories growing up are of him in the church choir. Now he's singing in the heavenly choir and what a joyous noise unto the Lord that is! Prayers for peace and comfort to Sandy, family and friends. He'll be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jess...I truly loved him. He "picked" at me unmercifully when he would come in to the Galax City Offices. He would always make my day. Hugs & prayers for his family.

When I think of Jess, two songs come to mind "On the Wings of a Snow white Dove and Oh, Come Angel Band.
He was a true friend and I know he is enjoying his new life in "Those Ivory Palaces." Sandy,
May God grant you peace and sweet memories.
