Dear Mrs. Mann, Angela, and family,
I remember with joy working with Angela at CNVS (CVN) and chatting with Dr. Mann when he came over to the office. I pray that you will know God's peace and comfort in this difficult time. Angela, I miss working with you and always remember how I enjoyed your company and the wise ideas you shared with me. Love to all of you,
CarolAnne

In 1957 I was one of Jesse's examiners for his Ph.D. I can still picture him sitting in the dean's office for the exam. He sailed through it. You must be very proud of him. Requiescat in pace.

When I remember my Uncle Jesse, two words come to mind, wisdom and warmth. He had the wisdom of the scholar that he was but was able to communicate it with caring and respect. He would answer a question about any subject with a story or a memory and you would go home with a smile. He was never rushed when he visited with you, never cut you off with a work deadline or other task. Uncle Jesse would be interrupted possibly with asking Aunt Anne a question about the topic at hand or getting up to get you a beverage, usually a choice of Coke or Diet Coke, before the visit continued. In this day of smartphones and texting, let's all honor his memory by remembering to sit and look people in the eye and engage and discuss and care. He was patient and attentive and empathetic. Uncle Jesse's legacy was to connect with each of us as human beings, one on one. He will be missed for being the treasure that he was, making each of us feel treasured.

God keep those who pass on in his memory because they are precious to him. Psalms 116 : 15. EJC. GA.

Dear Anne, Maureen and Angela, So sorry I can' be with you for the funeral. I loved your Dad very much as you know. I was blessed in growing up in Northeast Washington near our cousins, the Manns. Jesse was always someone I looked up to-- In later years I remember a time in college when I was totally stumped in Epistemology class. Naturally, I called Jesse and he straightened me out in no time.
He was so proud and grateful not only to the Jesuits at Gonzaga and Georgetown but also to the Sisters of St. Joseph who taught him atHoly Comforter. As an SSJ now I loved to hear his stories about the Sisters he had there. He remembered them all.
Jesse dear, you have always been an inspiration to me. I will miss you but I know too our good God together with all your family and friends are welcoming you to the heaven you so richly deserve.Your Toomey cousin. Mary. (Sister Mary Corbett,SSJ)

Aunt Anne, cousins Maureen and Angela, I share your sadness and grief at the loss of Uncle Jesse's beautiful spirit, warm and welcoming smile under those uniquely Uncle Jesse eyebrows, and wisdom, thoughtfulness, and ever-present abiding faith in the God who has now welcomed him to his spiritual home for Eternal Rest. All the others of the Corbett clan, its extended family branches and friends who preceded him there I know are setting him his place at that table. I hope you find comfort knowing all around that table are keeping you and all of us in prayer. With lots of love, Lucy Moran

Dear Uncle Jesse, Hearing you laugh out loud was one of my favorite memories. And you laughed often, helping others not only feel welcome and relaxed but also to feel special. Your merry eyes spoke volumes. Much love to you in eternity.

Dear Anne and Family,
I, like many others, "majored in Mann." Timidly I began my graduate Liberal Studies degree at Georgetown in 1980 and started with Dr. Mann and finished with him, the mentor of my thesis. His words of wisdom have stayed with me always and with my family as well. Thank you for sharing him on Saturdays til 1:00 PM semester after semester. He made such a difference to all in his classroom. Joe Pettit has kept me posted and wrote this morning of his passing - blessedly he died in peace. May my thankful/sad feelings comfort you. I with 1000's other students will never forget him. Love, Anne

Aunt Anne, Maureen, Angela, and Ritz and Mann families, May you find comfort in knowing Uncle Jesse is entering heaven to be together with his angel son Michael, as they watch over all of you. We were Blessed to have had the honor and gift to have spent time with your loving, brilliant, and spiritual Husband, father, and grandfather. His graciousness exemplified a deep love of family and faith. His devotion was unyielding and he endearingly touched the lives of all who met him. We are saddened for your loss, The Rollins family.
