Gerri and family,
Over a year has passed and Jesse is still in my thoughts - on different days at work I can swear I feel a gentle breeze that will stir a reminder of things we used to do together while there and conversations we had everyday. I miss many things about Jesse but mostly I just miss him! I often wonder why is was his time but I feel that he will always be a part of us! Margaret

There are no words that would express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. Jesse was a caring man, and a devoted "Super Dad" to Jameson. The love they shared for each other was overwhelming, and my daughters and I were fortunate to witness that love everyday when the two would enter my daycare. We loved them both and will miss Jesse. Our prayers and love will always be with Jesse and Jameson.

Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Jesse’s family. I knew Jesse when we were small children at TEC, playing in the field and on the swings. My husband knew Jesse all grownup as a friend and as a fine man. Now Jesse has begun another stage of existence, one of peace and joy. We pray that comfort and love will see you through.
