A part of our family has been lost and we are greatly saddened. We can't explain the hollow and empty feeling in all our hearts. Aunt Jessie will be very much missed and longed for. The only consolation is that she is with family and friends looking down upon us all. We are hopefull that Uncle Less is alright and knows that his soulmate will be waiting to join her in heaven. Jerry and Kim
