I was so sorry to read about the passing of Jesse. I have known the family all my life. My uncle, William Money, married Mozelle Johnson, who was Lois' sister. Jesse has always been such a fine Christian family man. Deepest condolences to Vena and Danny and the rest of the family who loved Jesse so much.
