A Letter From Heaven: When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, That Jesus came and called my name, and took me by the hand.
So, when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
The Ministry of Comfort and Care has been entrusted to: HARRINGTON FUNERAL HOME, INC.

Jesses nephew, Emory was born 4 months after her in 1941 and was raised in the same house! She was like his sister and he loved her very much! He was among her mom, dad, son, daughter Berta, husband, many sisters, brothers, pastors, church members, neighbors and friends who welcomed her home! A home not made by hand. They are all singing, shouting and walking all over Gods heaven! Yes, Jessie was the child of a faithful and merciful God and she served Him well! We all adored Jessie Willis because she was always there for all of us. She loved her family and was so proud of her sons! May she rest in sweet peace! Jessie definitely earned her wings. She will be truly missed 🙏🏾 Love you , Phiney
