Such a lovely lady, so warm and friendly. She was always a "bright spot" especially at the family reunions back in the 60s/70s at Booth Memorial Park (my maternal grandmother was a cousin to the Osterberg girls [the generation before Jesse] and they always welcomed us as one of their own). Rest in Peace Jesse...my life is fuller for having known you even just a little bit.
