Condolences

Having worked for many years at the hospital where Jesse was a chaplain, I experienced first hand his constant optimism and cheerfulness. He went out of his way to ask the staff how they were doing and spent countless hours praying with our patients. Surely God had in His plan that Christmas was a special time to remember and rejoice in such a devoted servant's life. Sandy, I am so sorry for the hurt you are feeling and pray that you find some comfort in knowing how many lives your dad touched. I just saw him a few weeks ago with your mom in CrackerBarrel but was in the car and didn't get to say hi like I usually did when I would run into him. It makes me sad that I missed that chance.
