My sincere condolences to Jessie's family. She was ill for a very long time but remained in the hearts of the older sorors of New Orleans Alumnae. May she rest in peace.

Time has a way of passing and we lose some of the connections we had as young people going to school together. As a soror of Jessie and Inez,I wish to express my sincere sympathy to the family but a word of encouragement also. Be strengthened in the Lord ,who has made a way for us, (through His act of submission to His Father by laying down His life that we may have a right to the tree of life and have life for eternity),to be joined with our loved ones again.Pray without ceasing and trust in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
