Dear Kathy, Bruce, Suzie, and families, Great-aunt Jessie always had a big smile and lots of laughter when she and your Dad would come to Grandma Hayen's in Cogswell. One of my earliest memories as a kid is when Dad, Mom, my sisters and I went way up North to visit your family and played some kind of bowling. I know G'ma really appreciated getting to see Jessie 2 yrs. ago and taking her to the casino. Losing someone leaves an empty space, but I hope you can fill it with many memories. Our prayers are with you and for Jessie. Debbie (Hayen) and Bardie Skjonsberg (it has been many years since I have seen you, just letting you know I am John and Barb's oldest daughter)Detroit Lakes, MN 12/22/2009 8:53 PM
