Gladys, You told me yourself that Jessie has always outspoken, rude, and hard to get along. You are such a hypocrite and I don't know why you said greedy, but I have never tried to get anything from Jessie. I am sure you are standing with your hand open.

I mourn the passing of Jessie. While legally she was a half siser she was raisedby my mother and father as an equal sister in a loving home. She was a wonderful human being. She was kind, loving and a true companion throught out her life. I am sad that Alberts daughters are so filled with pety spite, greed and vengance. If they are Christians their Jesus would be terribly dissapointed at their inability to muster even a small amount of compassion for those who mourn Jessie's Passing. I will miss my last sister in this life as well as her significant other Albert. Hopefully Jessie has transcended this life onto a better and more spiritual world. My thoughts go out to Steve, Jackie,Patti and Teri all of whse lives were enriched by Jessie. Peace my sister.

I agree with all the kind words about Jessie written below by the King’s and the condemnation of a person who would use a condolence site to publicly disparage someone who has passed. Jessie Mae was a wonderful, kind and fun spirited person. It saddens me that she had to suffer so much physical pain before her passing. Her caregiver Becky should be commended for the comfort and support she provided both Jessie and Albert. It takes special people to care for those who cannot completely care for themselves. I have nothing but good happy memories of Jessie. Her, my mother Gladys and my Aunt Helen shared a special bond both growing up together and later in life. My mother, the last living of the three, was hit hard by Jessie’s passing. We are thinking of you always Jessie Mae- you are now free from pain, surrounded by light and love.

Jesse Mae was a kind and warm hearted person who would do anything for you. To read the comment as the one written by Diane Warner Kitch was disturbing to me, to her half sister, Gladys Addison as well as her nephew Steve Addison. Her ugly words were hurtful and I question the character of anyone who would use this particular platform to vent such personnel anger. It's sad. To Jesse Mae and Albert, Forever in peace and always in our hearts, with love, Peewee, Steve and Patti

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am sorry to hear of Jessie's passing and am without words after reading such a horrible comments made by the family member. The woman who wrote such a comment should really seek therapy instead of publicly sharing such mean and hateful words. I am sure it is not what her father would have wanted her to share. Given the deaths we have experienced as a nation due to Covid I would have hoped we would emerge a little more humble and thankful. Unfortunate that this woman now has unload so much anger and hostility that I can only hope karma does not come knocking on her door. You see I know Jesse's sister and she is one of the sweetest most loving woman. My apologies Jesse for having such a mean spirited individual take her anger and sadness out in such an inappropriate way.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
