Jesse Adams had a profound impact on our whole family. She was a loving companion to our Mom for over 10 years. Her example of unconditional love and zest for life was contagious. She made every day better. I have no doubt that Heaven has just gotten better with her presence as she is celebrating with our Lord Jesus. Thank you Jesse for always sharing your faith and putting Him first. The world was a better place because of you! I wonder if they have Cruise´s in Heaven?

May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

Jessie you are and will be truly missed. I´m going to miss all of those two or three phone calls a day our daily bible study the visits just everything. This is so hard but I know this is the best. I took you as your word you said you talked to God and he told you that you would live till the age of 92! But you and him had other plans I have to accept that and I´m okay with it I just wasn´t ready. Rest on my mother/aunt I love you. I got nobody to talk to you was the glue of this family you held it together. What´s going to happen now?

When you needed prayer, Jessie would listen. When you need truth, Jessie would speak it. When you need to be lifted up, Jessie would share her infectious laugh and a hand up. She loved her family, friends and her Lord with a fierce loyalty, committed love and true compassion. Our family is grateful to call Jessie friend for many years. Hugs to all of you as she has blessed numerous people far and wide. Heaven got sweeter when Jessie entered. Love, Amy Johnson
