I was sadden to hear about the death of my brother-in-law. To my sister Janice and family, know that Jesse will always be with us in Spirit. If we are willing to go to that quiet space, we will be able to hear him in that soft audible voice. May the Spirit of God give you and your family the wisdom, understanding, and strength to keep going and to live in peace. Regardless of the nature of the relationship, he lived to give all of us a gift, and it is in that spirit his legacy will live through each of us in our hearts. I Love You. Stay Safe and Strong.
