Dear Wanda & Dan,

I wanted to send this sooner but was unable to because I was out of work with my injury.
I just want you to know how hard Christmas was without our sweet Jesse. I know it was a holiday he especially enjoyed along with all the others. It did help with the card we received that he had made out last year, I thought it was also great with all the other memorabilia you brought to us and the prayers we had. I remember last year when he had little Amaya with him and what a grand time we all had. This has been a very difficult year for everyone. But we seem to remember Jesse every day in either something we do or say. He is greatly missed and I pray God will watch over all of us through this difficult time and hold Jesse tight with Love from all.

Love,

Mom

Jesse,
As I look back at the year 2007 I look first for the best things and that would be the three months and three days you were with us. After that it was heartache and disbelief. I would have to say the numbing pain we have felt since that dreadful day continues. We have gotten through the holidays with the loving support of each other. Your Mom, Dan, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins who also thought of you as their best friend. As we face each day that passes by we all realize what an impact your death has had on us all. What a terrible loss we have experienced. We will keep your memory with us always. Jesse I Love you and always will. I will forever miss your smile, your laugh, your great sense of humor, your hugs, your compassion for others and your Love. You brightened our days and brought so much happiness. You will forever be missed. I pray God will watch over us especially your Mom and help us through this most difficult journey.
Love Always,
Aunt Chris

Jesse Lee,
Today is Christmas... a time for family and friends... and we are missing you. Your Mom found the cards you picked out last year and gave them to us. They are funny and it reminds us of your sense of humor. She wrote: "Hold on to memories of the past wrap them around you for comfort." We will try to do that. We lit candles for you...for Love,for Courage & Strength, for Hope. You are a bright shining star. You are with us in spirit. You will live forever in are hearts (we still love you and always will) & in our minds (every memory forever).
Love You Lots & Lots,
Aunt Wendy

Dear Wanda & Dan,

I just could not write anything before Thanksgiving because I felt there wasn't a great deal to be thankful for this year. But with the prayer and memory you brought to us was great. I felt Jesse was beside us even though the chair was empty. I know he is walking beside me every day. I hope he knows how much he is LOVED and MISSED by everyone.Take comfort in knowing that we have a guardian angel watching over us. We will all meet again sometime.

LOVE,

Mom

Wanda,
The first Thanksgiving without your beautiful son Jesse...what a tragedy for you and all who Love him. To think that Jesse will not bless our table with his presence, his smile, his laugh, his sense of humor, his Love...Jesse will be painfully missed. What I am thankful for is that you brought that wonderful bundle of joy into our lives. He will always be in our hearts. How I miss Jesse! I Love him so!
Love Always,
Chris

To our Dearest Daughter Wanda,

I just don't know where to start. You have been such a wonderful and caring Mother to our Jesse and I am sure he knows with the wonderful celebration you had for his birthday on September 22, 2007. You must have been working and planning on this for some time. I don't think you missed a part of Jesse's life with all the memorabilla you brought with you and shared with all of us. He meant so much to the whole family. He is missed more than anyone will ever know but we all think of him every day and feel he is still walking with us. Life will never be the same without him, he had so much to offer and brought so much joy to all of our gatherings. I know he is looking down on us and knows how much we miss and love him.
Love,
Grampa & Gramma

Wanda & Dan
It has been four weeks and I still expect to see Jesse. I miss him so much, I know he is in a better place. I know how much you loved him and he loved you! I will miss when I would go to mom and dads for coffee. Sometimes they would be out shopping and Jesse would say Aunt Maryann let me make you some coffee. I'd watch him get the coffee ready and say let me help you Jesse. I remember sitting with him at the dining room table and talking about anything and everything. He was honest and had such dreams and plans. We talked of the disappointment when some people would judge him harshly. He always knew he was accepted, loved, and supported by his Mom, Dan, Gramma, Grampa, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. I will always hold special memories of Jesse.One of them is, one night when I went to leave Jesse yelled hey Aunt Maryann, I said Yes Jesse, He said I love you, I said Jesse, I love you too! Wanda and Dan you are in my prayers.
Love,
Maryann

Wanda & Dan,
How do you measure the Love of a mother and her son. You and Dan gave Jesse Love and Understtanding that only a mother and father can do. Jesse lived life to the fullest with constant involvement of his aunts, uncles, & cousins. He really enjoyed family outings and coming over to play games with Keith and me on the Playstation or fishing, or playing cards. Keith, Wendy, and I Loved Jesse and we will deeply miss him. Jesse had a big impact on Keith and all of us. Jesse was a man any family would be proud of. I'm going to miss Jesse and the fun we had together. Jesse was a big part of our lives and will be sadly missed. Jesse be happy where ever you are. You will be missed by everyone and Loved and Remembered by all.
Wanda and Dan we love you.
Love,
Gary
