To the family always remember God is able, and there is nothing He can't see you through.Look to the hills. love you my son.
Sorry for your loss: Hoping that Mr. Jessies family find solace, in this time of sorrow, from Gods Word: Psalm 103:8 tells us Almighty God is merciful and compassionate, and abundant in loyal love. And that they, who would really seek God, find Him that he is not far off from each one of us. (Acts 17:27) We can hold onto the hope that the injustice of death will end according to Gods promise 2 Peter 3:13, John 11:25.
