Oh Jessie Boo-boo...so many memories of our life little brother, from our early days at the house on Monterey, to Durango, to Bullhead city where we swam at Holiday Shores and played with snakes, scorpions and gila monsters...and then to Tenino with all our escapades there...the quarry, the attempted bike ride to Buccoda where we got busted and our bikes grounded, one of the best Christmases, the circus and elephant ride, and the many hikes in the damp green forests, to the creeks and railroad tracks behind our apartments. Then back to Farmington where we spent the rest of our growing up years, and the many adventures in the boonies before we entered the high school years. And there you stood up for me against the mean girls. Then the disco era with angel flights and silk shirts, fishing at Navajo, and then adulthood and responsibilities and life took us in separate directions. My heart is sad little brother, and I'll miss you the rest of my life, and it feels so surreal that you are gone.
Rest in the arms of Jesus, and meet me in the clouds for a cup of coffee once in a while, where I talk to you...and mom and Ernie and Bear.
To Deanna and family, my heart aches for you and my deepest sorrows for what you are going thru. My prayers for you are that God's mercies be poured out over you, and may He bring you courage and strength for the upcoming days.
