Jesse,
Your "End of Watch" is coming around again.
As we all get older you remain just 36 years old.
I miss your hugs and peck on my cheek when we got together.
Your children are doing fine, and I am sure you are proud of them.
I am including the following poem as a way to honor your service to the folks, and your love of family and your God. God Bless Jesse.
"The Final Inspection"

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

We grew up together since we were toddlers, you, me, Steven, and Iggy. Our moms were best friends, always sharing lots of laughter. You grew to be best friends with Steven and thankfully, you were in our lives into adulthood. I left for California and then only heard from my brother how you were, always happy for you that you had made a beautiful life for yourself, with a wife and children and a fulfilling career. I will always remember the day I got the call about what happened. Disbelief came over me. You were like family to us, Jesse. Steven and I always exchange messages when it’s your birthday or on this day, March 25. I hope you and Iggy are our angels now. God bless your family. I hope they know that you are thought of and remembered by many.

Can't believe 17 years have passed. You have not been forgotten. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones. Send them signs that you are near and still watching over them.

Early this morning, I had a nightmare of that horrible day where you were taken from us and died in my arms. I will NEVER forget you my friend. Until we meet again...

Easter always reminds me of you. We saw you last the week before Easter.
I can never get over the biblical name that Jesse translates to.
I’ll never forget you dancing with me at my sweet 16. I had never seen you cry in my life before that. I truly understood how much you truly loved us/me. I pray for you, and your family every night.

Where does the time go? Jesse, on this day 15 years ago you called me, you told me to come see you, it was important and you needed to speak to me. Little did I know, that “I love you Gi.” would be the last words I heard you speak. I’ll never forget it, to this day, I wish I drove up to see you on this day 15 years ago. Tomorrow we share a Guinness, Sadly, Nothing Can ever bring you back to us. Your legacy never ceases to amaze me. I’d give just about anything just to feel your embrace one last time. There is definitely a hole in my heart, since u have been gone. I see 56 everywhere, I hope that’s you.
I love you so much.

Love Gigi

Belated Birthday wishes my son. I find it harder and harder to come to this page and read the reflections of your friends and family. You are 50 years old by age, but you will never be older than the man we remember. Full of laughter, love of life, thoughtful concern for others, and a deep love for your family. Savannah and Jacob are doing well, but you already know that. Christmas is coming, and tomorrow I am going to get a nice pine blanket for you. In the winter when the ground is cold I get really upset thinking about you. I know you are not there. I know God has you in his hand. I know Heaven's scene is safe because its guarded by you, a United States Marine. Jesse we really miss you. God Bless.
