Oh crazy Jessie, Jessie had a crush on me is what I remember, he would say hey Janice Johnson when? and I would just laugh at him or just say Jessie You're so crazy, he would say girl I ain't playing, then we both would laugh together. What fond memories they were. I bet many more girls could just about say that same thing, one thing for sure is the he had "GAME".
He was a fun guy to be around still crazy and talking at me some 20 years later. I loved Jessie because he loved me, I attended his funeral to say my good-bye, a dear friend, he knew how to get a laugh even when you wanted to cry. I now smile as I think about those times I shared with Jessie as a classmate, a buddy and a friend, love to you Jessie eternally.

Jessie and I have a beautiful daughter together, named Nyaunuwi Jenkins "Nywi", who is 35 years old. We remained friends throughout the years. He was so commited to his two daughters, "Nywi" and Jessica. He felt very strong about education. His daughter "Nywi", graduated from college with honors. His daughter Jessica(18), who was an "A" student in high school currently attends Fort Valley University as a freshman. He was so excited about his one and only grandchild Niyaunna(7). We used to talk on the phone a lot. He would tell me every time he would go home to Albany,he would mention the classmates he had seen and what was going on with them. We would talk for hours at a time. I truly miss him! I thank God, he left me with someone who reminds me of him everyday. I will always love and miss him!Elton Edwards
Jessie left us on August 23, 2002. I remember playing basketball with and against him, ha had a crazy left-handed jumper. RIP Jessie!Peck
