Baby Jessie will be missed by our family and at Church. She was always willing to assist no matter what the occasion was. She would always make us laugh with her jokes about how we didn´t know what we were doing. To our cousins, May you find comfort in knowing that she´s resting in the arms of the Master. We Love her and will always cherish our fun memories of working together with our many projects. Rev. Cecil and Shelia Clark and the entire Family of the the Late Annie Lee Brown.
