continuation of earlier post......

They were expecting about 700 people, but there were over 800. When the service began, I was not composed at all. I could not control myself, but as the service continued, I was able to control myself. Jesse's life taught me a lot, but I did not realize it until this moment. Jesse was like another little brother to me because of the time he spent at out house before I left for school. I have known him for about 9 years. Throughout those 9 years, he constantly teased me. He slowly began to draw me out of my shell to help me to be the person I am today.

Jesse loved life. He lived each day to its fullest. His love for Christ was evident each day of his life. He was always happy and pulling pranks. During the service, some balloons popped. This is just like Jesse, during a serious moment, he would do something to make people laugh and relieve the seriousness.

Ill continue later with the most important thing I learned. I have to go to class...

more to come....
