SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS FROM EP MO JESSIE WAS LIKE BROTHER TO ME WHEN WE WORKED TO GETHER AT THE IGA STORE THERE RIP MY FRIEND IN THE ARMS OF JESUS
Praying for peace and comfort Aunt Willa and family as only our heavenly father can give.
Sorry to hear about Jesse's passing. We went from first grade to 12th grade together. As most in East Prairie, our families were all well known to each other. Our condolences to each member of his family.
God open up your arms and welcome Jesse and bless Willa, his children and grandchildren.
Dearest Jesse..I will always love and cherish all the wonderful memories that I shared with you and your God-loving family. Never did I expect to meet someone as "Kind" and "Precious" as you and your sweet son Butch and daughter Dymisha at Graceland when your cousin Elvis passed away. I am so grateful to God that your sister Susie is still in my life all these years. She reminds me so much of you and all the Spiritual- talks you and I always shared when we were together.. I will never forget your last words of wisdom you gave me to hold onto . ..."When you are facing hardship to remember that the Darkest hour is just before the Dawn..but then to Rejoice because Joy will come in the morning" Jesse you have reached your "DAWN" - "REJOICE"
Don't forget "BAWZHA and YA LUBLU TABEH" FIND FLUFFCHA- BABA and DIDO.
So sorry for your loss Willa. I'm to far away to do anything, but if you want to talk please call me 330-516-1585. I just loses my Father-in-law Sister-in-law. So I kind of know what you're going through. Love, Bonnie.
Willa Ann I am so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. I will be praying for God to give you comfort!!
We love you Uncle Jesse and know you are in a better place. We will see you again some day.
Our family will not be the same without him. I loved him dearly. He was one of a kind. Thankful for all the memories!
My love and prayers are with you all. Hang in there, Willa. Comfort yourself as you always have, with your faith. Jesse loved you dearly and you were such a wonderful wife for him to the very end. To his children, those named Pritchett, and those named Young, I am so sorry for your loss and you all have my prayers. Comfort yourselves with the memories as I intend to do. I loved him as a brother in law like no other! Godspeed, Jesse.
Sorry for the loss in your family. May God grant you peace and comfort as only He can. Love Teresa & Butch
