I don't think people realize how one persons decision can affect so many lives. Jesse Church was a good man, with two very beautiful children. Two children who will grow up with only memories that the people who love him have to share. May God bless him along his new journey, and my thoughts and prayers go to his children, his mother, sisters, family and friends. You will forever be loved and missed. Til we meet again we'll be missing you and loving you from a far.....
