Q: What will you never forget about Jessie?
A: I'll never forget the day We reunited together,I finally got to meet my grandfather, I had been looking for my dad's side of the family For years and did some investigation and Finally found mu Uncle Ray. Uncle Ray came to the very house we were living in,( my great grandparents where momma and daddy got married at) house in East lake, Uncle Ray came and picked me up and brought me to finally meet you at Quincy's buffet restaurant,Then we went to your house and showed me the farm , and Showed me pictures of Jason and me you had ,And pictures of my daddy. I could listen to the stories you shared with me for hours..We spoke on the phone at least twice a week, And I brought my kids to see and meet you ( your great-grandchildren) Olivia Marie, Christopher,Jacob Alan and Austin.. I'll never forget Your bond we finally shared together,and you gave me My great grandparents ( your mom and dad) Dan and kiddie Hales phone number,Which I got to meet in person as a surprise When I called them when I was coming back from Florida and wanted to them ..I was pregnant with Jacob Alan at the time ,But they had showed me So much beautiful memories of my father ,Randolph Alan Hale, And Also showed me pictures of my dad, and me and my brother.. I learned so much about my dad and you from listening to my great grandparents. I also kept in touch with them throughout the years until their passing..My great grandparents wrote me letters and sent pictures of The Hale Family,and showed me so much love..I'm thankful for that and I will never forget those memories..I'll always cherish the talks we had and walks we had around the farm when I came to visit . And I'll never forget when you said you loved me on the phone the first time, That's something you always said to me ..
Ii love you with all my heart
Love. your granddaughter,
Jennifer Marie Hale (Cooley)
