Jess my love was one of a kind husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and pastor. He was loved by all who knew him and you would understand why if you had ever met him. He will be greatly missed by all he touched. He touched so many lives in his ministry and truly had the heart of a pastor. On August 6 of this year we would have celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and we were planning to cruise to Alaska, but God had other plans for a cruise to heaven. I will love you and miss you and please wait at the eastern gate until I arrive. For additional service information or floral delivery information, please contact Basham Funeral Care.
