Papa papa 💔 I can't believe this I'm still lost for words . I love you so much , can't believe I will never get another cup of your famous grape kool aid or my special side of okra with all your homecooked meals .

I just learned a few minutes ago of Jesse's passing. I hate that I cannot get to his visitation today. I was Jesse's QB at Hardaway. He and I won the 2 Friends Award from the 100% Wrong Club in Atlanta our Senior Year (black and white friends that played sports together). Hank Aaron and Phil Niekro won it the year before. Look it up. Jesse was extremely talented, smart and funny. So funny. I was so proud that he got a scholarship to UGa. I haven't seen Jesse for many years and I am sad that he has passed. I will always consider him a friend. Mike

Being there for my friend (Ann ..as you called her) these last few days, all I can say is your memory will forever live on. You touched so many lives just by feeding them as you did so well. You have earned the top chef hat from above. Rest on Jessie.

My PaPa, this is so unreal to me, and I don't think it will ever fully register in my heart and mind. Coming in for the first time in 30yrs and not having a hot home cooked meal from you, or not being rushed to eat while the food still hot; will never feel normal. You are truly loved and missed ❤️ -Love, your "Hamburgers"

Brie

I sat for 30 minutes trying to figure out what I wanted to say, there are no words just many memories from "super woman " to your hand gestures telling me to leave ,ending in my favorite where I was speaking publicly ,as I look up you were smiling from ear to ear ready!!. Love you ❤️ Rest
