Linda and Dan,
May God be with you at this most difficult time in your life...I am so sorry this happened to Jesse. You have been in my prayers and thoughts for some time now..Jesse is in a much better place right now... He has no pain or anything. I have talked with Sharon and she has my phone number if you would like to talk sometime or just get coffee and talk. I have been through this and it is very painful. Jesse and Zachary were friends during elementary and jr high school. So they can now get re acquainted after so many year apart.. Just know we are thinking about you and the family... Im so sorry I did not make it to the calling hours but i had to babysit my 9mo grandson. And tomorrow I have to get my 4 yr old grandaughter from pre school at 10:00am... Please dont hesitate to call me! God be with you all!!

My heart is broken for all of you. His battle is over, but you will see him again in heaven, healed and his spirit restored again. Love you all. You are all like a second family to me. I hurt for all of you. But a tiny blessing is on it's way now....a miracle to embrace and love. Jessie would want it no other way. Kim Opperman and family

God looked around His garden And found an empty place.He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face.He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb,So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine".It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone,For part of us went with you The day God called you home. Sending my love.
