I never had the honor of meeting Ms. Jessi, but I felt as if I knew her throught the family stories Chuck would share with me. What a Blessing she was to her family and countless others. My GOD continue to shelter the Knapp Family...now and for always.

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of our aunt Jessi.I am happy that I had a chance to see her a couple of times in the last few years as we live so far away it isn't easy to visit and it's ashame we all take life for granted until something happens then we think of the things we wish we had done or made more effort to stay in contact with distant family members.I am sure she will be deeply missed by all in presence but not in heart as she will always be there.

I have been privileged to know Jessi Knapp. Her quiet sweet spirit was fiercely dedicated to the Lord. Her life and legacy will speak to people long after her transition to heaven.
I will miss her and think of her often.

God's word describes Jesse best. She has always been the example of the passage in Proverbs 31.
10An (M)excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far (N)above jewels.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
14She is like (O)merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15She (P)rises also while it is still night
And (Q)gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
16She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17She (R)girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20She (S)extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are (T)clothed with scarlet.
22She makes (U)coverings for herself;
Her clothing is (V)fine linen and (W)purple.
23Her husband is known (X)in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24She makes (Y)linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25Strength and (Z)dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
26She (AA)opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the (AB)bread of idleness.
28Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who (AC)fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Jesse was beautiful from the inside out and a Godly example to women everywhere she went. The world has suffered a immeasurable loss; however, heaven has received an infinite gain.
My heart is so heavy - there are no words to express the loss. I love you all very much.
Love,
Michelle Lee
