You are dearly missed Jesse. My condolence to his family. I pray that God's comfort and supernatural peace be with you all now and always in Jesus name, Amen!
My heartfelt sympathy to the entire Rayford family. Jesse was a wonderful friend and he will truly be missed.
Jesse was truly a good friend and honorable brother; as we served together in Faith Chapel Christian Center Maintenance Ministry as vision partners. We developed a friendship that extended beyond the walls of the church and enjoyed fellowshipping thru fishing, bargain shopping and shared interest in real estate investments. Praying God's peace over his son and family as we believe that he is now with our Heavenly Father 🙏🏾!!!
