It's a very sad time in my life today, but the memories I choose to have are all good and happy ones. I worked with Jessie for only a short time but her love of life, family, faith, and especially Aurillio came shining through in our conversations. I will always have fond memories of those times. My heartfelt condolences go out to Jssie's family.
