To the Family of Deacon Powell,
You have my deepest sympathy in loss of your loved one. I met him when I was a student nurse and was later blessed to work with him at Brandon Oaks. He was an humble man with lots of wisdom which he shared.
May God bless you with comfort and strength during this difficult time.

I worked at the VAMC with Jesse for several years. One of the kindest man I have ever known.
Last saw him and his wife at the Salem Rehab.
I know he will be missed and may he rest in peace.
God bless you Jesse.
