"I am so blessed to know both Jean and Elmer. I met them while I was doing hospitality at church. Jean gave my daughter, Reese, a bear that we both cherish. I know she is watching over us. We are so lucky to have known you and I still look over where you used to sit in church and wonder if you will be there. Rest in Peace Jean. You will be so missed.
"
In loving memory of
Jean E. Jesse
