So very sorry to hear about the loss of Jesse. No matter what Firehouse she visited, we were all her children while she was there and had to greet and depart us with a healthy kiss and hug. My thoughts to my Brutha Rainbo and his family during these sad times.

Ma Frog (Jessie) was a good friend and like a second mother to me and many others in the VBFD. We will miss her very much but know that she is in a better place today and for all eternity.We should all get her greeting at the gates of heaven to live again, in heaven, with our father.
Jessie, to see you again one day!
My condolences to all the family.
