Dear Medlin Family,

We are so sorry to hear about Jesse. We were close to the family when Jesse was born and watched him grow into a young man. Unfortunately, we lost touch with each other as we got older. We've missed him over the years but had heard he was doing well as we always knew he would. Our hearts go out to you all and you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely, The Wright Family
Marge, Sheila, Ricky & Christa

Dear Wendy and family --

We were shocked to hear of your husband's passing. Life is so fragile and can end so quickly. His passing made me think of how much we take each other for granted, thinking they'll always be there. Hang in there! You're going through those "shady valley times" now, but the sun and the mountains are still out there and you'll see them again. Give yourselves time, and take care of yourselves. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you (no request is too large or small).

With a heavy heart. I send my deepest sympathy to Wendy and the children. I was hoping that Jesse was pulling a fast one on me, after I got the call. I wish that was the case. We all can keep him with us in all the great memorys. The years spent with him at I W Auto were some of the best times you can have at work. We all were on alert for a prank or something to scare the hell out of you, when you least thought it would happen from both sides. Be with the LORD and GOD SPEED JESSE. love you man!

Wendy,
We are so very sorry for the loss of Jesse. Our minds wonder back to the years we were neighbors, the conversations, the weight lifting, and the late nights with racing. As time goes by, you get away from things, but you never forget. Jesse was always dedicated to his family and work and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and loved ones. May God be with you.

Special note from the Medlin family:

We wanted everyone to know that the viewing on Wednesday is from 6-8 not 7-8 there was a mistake. The funeral time is right though. We just wanted to say Thanks to all for all of the support.

sincerely,
The Medlin Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. May your faith keep you strong. He may have taken his journey before you but his heart is yours forever. Words can't express my sorrow for your loss. Maybe as you read your guest book it will bring a touch of comfort to know we all are here for you. Love to all, God bless.

It has been a shock to have Jesse leave us. I can still hear him say what again, you're at the beach! Jesse was a dear true friend. He would help out anyone if it was possible. We will miss him here, but I know that he will be shouting at Stuart for the finish line. We will miss you, but will know that we will see you again when our work is done. On the wings of angels, your tears are born to the heart of heaven.. where sorrow is no more.

Dearest Wendy and Family---
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We cannot fathom what you are going through right now...but we will all support you as you continue through this chapter of your life.
Thanks so much for everything you do for my family every day: your time dedicated to the PTA, Girl Scouting...and bringing Kendall home from MathCounts every week!
But now is the time to focus on you and yours...Scouting and PTA and all of your other endeavors can wait until you're ready. So don't feel guilty for an instant. (At least try not to!)
Again, we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Sharlee & Jimmy LaBrecque and
Kendall & Harry Seeley
