We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time.
You know the saying, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. That hit hard yesterday. I picked up the phone to call you and realized your not there any more. I always thought you would be around to see the kids grow up. Living out in California I was so busy with "life" that we lost touch. I missed out on whats really important. During your wake I was touched by how many people came out to see you. I don't think you realized just how wealthy you are. As wealth isn't just about money & material things, but friends & people that care for you. It was very difficult for people to come that night, but they did. You know Dad, growing up I never understood what drove you and why you did the things you did. Now that I have grown and have kids of my own, I understand and just want to say I'm very proud of you! You know it's funny, I never took the time to tell you just how much I love you or how proud of you I am. It's ashame it takes losing you to realize that. You fought long and hard, your outlook on life during that time is an inspiration to us all, you never complained. You are in a better place now, its hard letting you go as I feel cheated but I know your free of pain and at peace. I love you Dad.
To Jessie,Jarod,Jill,& Ashly Losing a parent is never easy,with my knowing just how bad it really hurts I would take yall's place in a heart beat if I knew it would take the pain away. As for you JessieJamesJenkinsSr. I only knew you for a little while,in that little time i did know you, I couldn't help but to love you.You will be sadlly missed every day. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU.
I miss you so much Bubba...
I wanted to express my sympathy to the family of Mr. Jessie Jenkins. He was a patient of mine at the outpatient pavilion Laboratory and I will surly miss seeing him every week, he was a very sweet man.
