Jesse & family... I thought I had registered my sympathies earlier but since I cannot find them in the Guest Book, I will try again. Although I never met your mother, I felt I knew her from your descriptions of her. I saw her as a woman of class and strength. .... Remember the time you returned home from Howard for the holidays.
