John, Ann, and all of Jess' family ... I am so saddened to learn about Jess' death. She was a dear friend to both me at Westover Hills Presbyterian and my mom, Lib Wiggs Carter as they grew up together in Helena and remained friends for 80+ years. Both Jess and Sonny were such wonderful people and Jess joins those great saints that have gone before us and that so many of us miss dearly. May God bless and comfort you and all your family during this time and in all your days to come.

Please accept my Condolence,
May the God of all Comfort, Comfort the family
(2Co.1:3,4), When the enemy death strike grief may be great and make the heart yearn for Comfort,
God gives Comfort in his word of a Resurrection Hope (ACTS 24:15 and ISAIAH 26:19) and his Promise
(REVELATION 21:3,4), God's Hope and Promise will be attain soon (PSALMS 37:11,29),May these thoughts be of some Comfort.
