Condolences may be made at www.lileyfuneralhomes.com Just read of Jessie's passing. She will always be a permanent part of my childhood memories in Spearman. My dad (Willie)and mom (Virginia) counted her and Dan dear trusted friends and I spent many evenings listening to them play a board game called Wahoo. Jessie always hugged and loved on me and my sister like we were hers. She had a God-given gift of making people feel right at home with her and Dan. I know she is having a hallelujah reunion with my mom and dad!!! May God bring comfort during this time of loss...Our loss - heaven's gain. Blessings - Patty Sue Dan & family.... read about Jessie's death in the Spearman paper today. Just want to send our sympathy and support for you and your family. Enjoyed being with Jessie especially in Eastern Star. Know that we are thinking about you and our prayers are with you.
