James , May the God of all comfort give you perfect peace. I always admired Jessie. She was one of my favorites when I was at Arlington. Jessie was fun loving and such a kind Christian. I could see Christ in her life. Now she is with the Lamb of God. I’m praying that the Savior will give you strength to face the days ahead. Just put your Faith in the One that died for you!
