I too grew up with Jessie. I will always remember her and all of her family as we all lived by one another in same neighborhood in South Bend. I had lunch with her and her husband Don a couple years ago and it was great catching up with our lives. She was such an inspiration and I will always remember her. My thoughts and prayers are with you Don and all the family

So saddened to hear of Jessie's passing. We were friends from grade school on. Although we lost track of each other in later years, I will still remember her kindness and caring. She was a beautiful person. God speed Jessie.

I am so sorry to hear of Jessie's passing. I have known her and her family since we were in the second or third grade. After not seeing each other for many years we quickly caught up as if there had been no time lapse at all! My condolences to the entire family. Rest in peace Jessie. I will always remember you!
