Aunt Lois, cousins Brenda, Augustine, James and Willie, my heartfelt prayers are with you all during this time of loss. Uncle Jessie will always be loved and remembered for his caring spirit, kind words and bright smile. I personally will remember how as a child he'd sit in front of our house on Sunday and blow the horn signaling that it was time to come out and prepare for a day of Sunday school, morning service and then the evening service. For that I will be eternally grateful to him for caring enough to take the time to include me along with his own family. I thank him for assisting in laying the foundation for me.
