Jesse was my friend. We both joined the military around the same time. He served our country with honor, and for that I am extremely greatful. We were supposed to have a beer when we both came home after his tour, but that never happened. He was robbed from us before that ever got to happen. He was murdered by men who had no honor. No respect for human life. No dignity. No souls. I pray that God judges these individuals for what they have done to his child. I pray that their souls remain in pergatory roaming the earth without the light. I absolutely pray that Justice for Jesse will be realized. I pray for Jesse’s loving parent’s Nancy and Frank. I pray for God to give them strength. I pray for Jesse’s family. Today, almost a decade later, Jesse’s murder trial will end. I know in my heart that Jesse is proud of all of those who helped bring these two individuals to justice. He’s proud of his Mom. She dedicated her life honoring him and giving her strength to other mom’s who children shared a similar fate. We all love you for that Nancy.
Jesse’s soul is at peace. Jesse’s memory is within us all. I miss him...
