Guest Book

My deepest sympathies to the family. Jesse was a special man who loved the Lord. In January, 1974, a cold and windy day, Jesse helped move my family to a new home. He never complained about the cold, just moved all that furniture with a smile. He always did business with my mother's insurance office and was willing to help her anytime she needed someone to help. There will not be another Jesse because he was truly a man of God!
