Carol, my heart breaks for your loss. I'm not sure Bob and I ever expressed what you and Jess meant to us in those early years. Your great cooking, which kept us from going hungry, was only surpassed by your amazing love for us. I smile as I think of Saturday morning and doughnuts raising all over your cabinets! I can still feel those strong bear hugs from Jess. Yes, we will see him one day before too long.
I am sorry for your loss, but we know he is in a greater place today. You guys sure mean alot to me. You were a big part of my life and an inspiration to me when I was young. Your kindless helped inspire me to find the Lord and serve him later in life. I look foward to seeing him again someday. Dennis
Carol, Phillip and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We were proud to call Jess our friend. He was a wonderful example for so many people in the area. Your family will be in our prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to you the family. I always enjoyed working around Jess on several different jobs. He tuck pointed the foundation of Laura Ingalls Wilder home several years ago, and stuccoed at Brush Arbor, etc. Enjoyed hearing him sing the songs of Zion while was working.He had a good sense of humor. A good workman. What must Heaven be, to be eternally in the immediate presence of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is in good care.
My heart was with your family this morning even though I could not be there in person. Much love to you, and I will write a letter of remembrances later. Love, Patsy
Carol and family, we are saddened by your loss and our prayers are with you. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace.
Earnie, Helen, Dwayne, Misty, Austin, Justin, & Kendall Cook
Carol, Phil and Family, Words can not express the heartfelt sorrow. I've known Jess for so many years, I remember him at the 'old church" singing when I would go with Grandpa and Grandma (Vernon & Agnes May) and he ALWAYS had a smile and handshake. God Bless you today and always.......
Sorry for the loss of your loved one, Robert and Doris Richardson
Jess, My heart and Prayers go out to your family right now during their loss. On the other hand, I know where you are spending eternity right now and what a celebration that must be. You and Carol are the reason the Coday kids have a realtionship with God today. With all the hardships we were going through, you and Carol took the time to invest in us and helped us build a lasting realtionship with God. You and your family will always hold a very special place in our hearts. You were definetly a spiritual warrior for God. Hope to be with you again someday in Heaven. Love & Prayers Always, Debbie
