Out of my control, I was unable to attend the funeral, but wanted to attend very much. Jessie was a good friend and Army buddy of mind since the 90's. I am so sorry for the loss of Jessie and his wife. These were two great people whom I greatly admire. They will be missed but not forgotten.
Sincerely,
Donald Shea
