Dear Marcia, Damien & Jake, No words can express my feelings for your loss. May God Bless you and your family thru this time and provide you with the peace and strength that is needed to move forward in the absence of Jessie. My memories of her are as a little girl running around the baseball field watching her big brothers play ball and cheering them on. Now she is one of God's angels most likely making friends with all of the other angels and keeping watch over her family from heaven. God Bless you all. Vicki Paris-Santone
