My thoughts and prayers are with you Jim, Bob and Patty...as well as the rest of her loved ones. I only knew Jessie for a short time but she blessed my life more in that short amount of time than people I have known for years. She had a sweet spirit that encompassed those around her and made you feel special. So remember, those who live in the Lord never see each other for the last time...until we meet again, Jessie.

Dear Bob and family,
We send you love and prayers, knowing how much you are missing Jessie. She had such a sweet spirit, spreading everywhere the fragrance of Jesus. We are comforted to know she has heard the words, "Well done," and was welcomed home by our Lord. We can imagine the shouts of joy from friends and family already there. May the Lord comfort you with the hope we share. Some day soon, no more tears.

Sending prayers and love to the Risor family. Jessie's smile could light up a room. I have great memories of playing together for church - Jessie on the organ and me on the piano. It was great fun. May God bless you all real big!
