Dreaming of how proud we would have been of one another.
Before Mommy and Daddy were ready for me I was still in Heaven. On what was October 19, 2009, a man came up to me. He was strong and had a big laugh. With breath that still smelled of coffee he asked me if I knew who he was. I shook my head no and with a smile he said he was my Great Grandpapa! My Oni and Jesse Jr. were already celebrating his arrival. Although I will never get to know him here on earth I enjoyed getting to know him in Heaven. All my love Great Grandpapa, Tobias

October 19, 2009…..First of all, we want to thank you so much for being here today with us to share in our grief and to join in our celebration that Dad has gone home to be with the Lord, my Mom Oni and brother, Jesse Jr.
It was just two years this past May we were standing here before you when my Mother went home.
At that time, I shared some stories and background on my Mom and I would like to do the same with my Dad for those of you who may not have had the honor and...

I'll alway remember Jesse as "DADDY". He always made me laugh. It didn't matter where I ran into him....Ukrops, one of our yard sales, his antique booth, a birthday party...he would always have me laughing within minutes. He is truly missed here on earth but I look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

Papa was a very kind man and because he was saved I know I'll meet him in Heaven one day. Psalm 23:1-6. Hugs to everyone and I hope that the memories are comforting for everybody. Xoxoxo
