I had the joy to be able to work with Jessie in Elementary school and she was a joy to have in class. Her smile was one of my highlights of our time together. I can remember working with Jessie on her reading and she and I had such a good time learning the words push and pull. She would sit across the desk from me and as we would go over the words she would take my hand and gently push and pull me back and forth across the desk top. We would have such fun when we worked together. Please accept my condolences on your loss. Jessie was a wonderful human being.

In our lifetime, a special person enters our lives and touches our hearts in a way one did not know was possible. I’m certain Jessie did this for the past 20 years for Molly, Bob, Jordan and Lorrin and her father Marty. She certainly touched my heart in the short time I’ve known her. May she fly with the angels. We love you Jessie.

Dear Sweet Jessie, Adorable,dark curly hair, beautiful smile. She brought joy by her very presence. Her life is such a lesson of unconditional love, and beautiful spirit. She will always hold a place in my heart and soul, and I feel privleged to have known her, and to have watched her and Marcie dance and laugh together. If only we could all be like Jessie.
Molly and Family,
With deepest sympathy in the loss of Jessie, and to let you, your family, and Jessie’s friends know many thoughts are with you.
Deepest sympathies for your loss
I will remember Jessie teasing me and then “signing” the words “tease” and “I love you”. Jessie had such a beautiful smile and I like to picture her laughing and running through heaven.
Dearest Sweet Jessie,
I’ve known you since birth and I was just a young 10 year old girl. You touched my heart like you were my sister. I am greatful God allowed me to be with you daily when you were younger. You taught me so much. I love you and I can’t wait to see you again when I get to Heaven.
Love,
Emily

Oh Jessie,
We were just talking about you the other day. Wondering how you are. What a beautiful girl. Jessie was always at practice and tournaments watching her brother Jordan wrestle. She brought a happy smile and sunshine everywhere with her.
Be Blessed family of Jessie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I came across your notice today in the newspaper and don’t know what to say. I have so many fond memories as yours, and Marcies’ camp counselor. There were times where I nearly had to pry you 2 apart. I remember counless dances, art projects and the “girl talks” of late nights. You are so special!
To all who loved this special woman, always remember her pure light of love that you were so fortunate to partake in for so long. All my sympathies to you at this emotional time.
Deana Wiatr dear friend of Sandy Hain
I have wonderful memories of Jessie. I was her 6th grade teacher and spent so much time learning and growing with Jessie. We would tell jokes and we laughed and laughed. She was the one who brightened many of our days at Midway. I had the priviledge of seeing Jessie at her Senior Prom last spring. I will never forget how pretty she looked. She had the most stunning dress on. It was so wonderful to see Jessie after all those years. She is an angel and is now with the Lord. My heart and prayers are with her family. She will be missed.
Sincerely, Sally B.

I got to know jessie by visting tyee where my mom works. when I would walk in her classroom she ways had a smile for me and a hug. That made my day. She way had a positive attuide about thing. That one thing liked about her. I will miss her warm smile that she had when i seen her. I’m glad I had the honor of knowing her. I pray for you and your family. my condolence to you and your family.
I will always remember Jesse and Marcie – two peas in a pod – looking out for each other, laughing and playing together when they came to our home with Marty on Fox Island or we visited with them on Horsehead Bay. It was like they had their own language and it was always sweet and endearing, encouraging and uplifting. Jesse will be missed and I pray for peace and comfort to all her dear friends and family. But we can also rejoice in the fact that she is now whole and in heaven.
I never had the privelege to meet Jessie, but I do know how very special her family is. She was loved by, and will be missed by so many people. I hope that all the good memories will live forever.
Dear Molly, Bob, Marty, Jordan and Lorrin,
My deepest sympathies for the loss of such a beautiful spirit. May you find peace in the special memories of times you shared with Ms Jessie. You must be so proud of the joy she brought to all those she touched.

I was schocked to learn the sad news of the untimely death of Jessie Stair. I feel very honord to have had Jessie in my class for three years. Jessie was a center of attention in my class and among Tyee students. Her beautiful smile always brightened my day. Her loss to us all is irreparable but we have to bow before the will of the Almighty. May God grant peace to Jessie’s soul and strength to all who loved her to bear her loss. Jessie will be missed. Once again, I express my heart-felt sympathy.
Peace,
Sukhi Dhami
