Dr. Thorn, I am sorry we just found out about Jessie.  We have missed keeping up with your family and hope not to lose touch again.  I wrote you a letter and have printed Jessie's obit to show my mother.  Love, Vikijane (Sheeran), Jane's great niece

You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Jessie was a sweet loving lady. I am soo glad I got to meet Jessie and several family members in Ruidoso during one of our Senior Adult Conferences. I always loved getting the opportunity to visit with Dr. Thorn and hear his humorous stories. And meeting the sweet Jessie was great. I cherish the photo we took together. Love and hugs to Bill and family.

Dear Bill & family, just now read Monday's paper and read of Jessie's passing. She was such a wonderful Lady. Enjoyed running into you'al at the fitness center or Walmart or eating somewhere. Please know that the "Self family will have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr Bill and family...so saddened about hearing about Jesse.  Praise the Lord, she is not in pain and most of all she is seeing Jesus her Lord and Savior.  My Dad and Mom loved you both so much and you married Bob and I and you married my sister Jan Miller and her husband.  Lots of history together and Jenny and I have been friends since high school.  Will be praying for you and the family in the days ahead.  Love You All..Mary Lacy Wichita, Kansas

Dr. Thorn,
I love you Doc!
Your marriage has been a 'Picture of the Gospel' !!  Thank you for the great love that you and Jessie showed the world.  May the Lord Jesus comfort you as only HE can.  Know that we are praying for you!
  May I also say THANK YOU for blazing a trail for a Minister/Speaker/Humorist like me.  You've inspired me and encouraged me.  May God give you a PEACE that passes all understanding.
  I'm so blessed to have you as a FRIEND.  Just know that you are one of my SPIRITUAL HEROES!!

LOVE YOU DOC!!

Ferril and I are so saddened to learn of Jessie's passing.  We remember her fondly, her compassion, her creativity, her humor.  We know life will be very different without her.  Our prayers are with you and the family.  Love, Ferril and Phyllis

My friend, Bill and family.  I am praying for you.  I recall standing by my sweet darling of fifty-two years when she left me and joined the heavenly host.  Her suffering with cancer ended, for that I was grateful.  God helped me deal with it along by my fabulout family and many wonderful friends. Your support system surely has a multitutde of loving people. Bill & Opal Cathey

I am so sorry to learn of Jessie's passing.  I have very fond memories of her from my time with the family in Wichita.  Would love to touch base with Martha, Becky or Kay - we used to have so much fun in the summer. Rosemary Nichols Wolfe (rose.wolfe2229@gmail.com)
