My prayers for comfort to the family. Charles and Jessie were such wonderful neighbor/friends when we lived in the trailer park. We lost daily contact after moving. She was such a wonderful person and reached out to me in my loss. Again I have regrets for not calling a special friend when I had such strong thougts of her just day before seeing this notice.
one of the finest woman I have had my pleasure to know. she is with Charlie and the good lord now.I have a lot of good memories of us all togerther.
rest in peace my friend. you will be missed.
I was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary with Mirs. Jessie. She was a beautiful person inside and out and will be greatly missed.
Jessie was such a special lady to many. May all your wonderful memories comfortt you at this very difficult time. I know I have some too!
God bless!
