Wishing the Lindsey family peace, strength, and healing as you navigate the loss of Mr. Jessie. Mr. Jessie was one of a kind at the Creek. So many fond memories and stories, I could conversate on (Jesus I'm calling on you "I'm call long distance" "I can't pay you right now" "but please answer may call") and many more. The Lindsey family are in our thoughts and prayers. With heartfelt profound sympathy, Vance, Mittie, Thomas, and Bryson McCoy
I will miss you Granddaddy. I love you to the moon and back. You and Grandma Rose were my only grandparents that I knew of. I will always remember the times we spent together. I pray that you met Grandma in the afterlife and went on together. I will always love you forever and always

James and Family, Please know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Losing a father is incredibly hard, I know how meaningful it is to feel supported and remembered during this time. May you find comfort in faith, family, and the memories you hold close.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

I remember when I first moved down here and uncle Jesse kept trying to get in touch with me. I didn't know why then but I know now. That man made peace with god and for whoever don't know that you had to have been blind. He spoke his name when he didn't know his own. We all have fallen short and there is none perfect but the father. Last time I seen him was acoiple days before he passed and I got him to smile.
Sending love and comfort to the family. Jessie never met a stranger and accepted everyone as his own family. Had a heart of gold and literally helped anyone! He always preached the word everytime I seen him. Rest easy unc
