Bonnie, I am so sad, knowing that I will not get to visit my childhood friend again. I loved Jesse-such a kind, sweet man with a photographic memory. We shared many memories of carpooling for 6 years-from 7th to 12th grades. I will miss him. My prayers are with you. Mary Alice

We were saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend. He was a mentor, coach, encourager, and a true example of one who truely committed himself to others. He will be deeply missed.

Bonnie we were sorry to hear Jessie passed. We have many blessings because of Jessie. Debbie and I met at the church he planted; Jessie introduced us in the summer 1993 and we married summer 1994. As well many people owe a portion of their career to Jessie. It seems just weeks ago we were on the phone for an hour discussing the next idea. Jessie was such a match maker and had a gift for bringing people together.
Debbie and I will be praying for you and will be in touch soon.

Bonnie, We have never met. For years, I have heard such wonderful stories about you and your husband, and your unconditional, life changing love from my friend, Brad. I join your many friends and family members in praying for you during this time. I am sorry I never met Jesse, but look forward to meeting him in heaven.

Patti,
Our sympathy and love to you and Betsy with the passing of Jesse.
