Mrs. Colwell said that writing down memories about Jessi would help, so here goes.
Well, I remember the first time I met Jessi-Shake. I was with Tanya and Waylon and we were going to one of their friend's houses to eat, sing and play our instruments. Bud, Kathi and Jessi Patrick were the friends and I had learned that they had went to Free Will as well, but didn't anymore. Well when I was sitting on the porch with another friend from church, Jessi was swinging on her rope swing that Bud had tied to a tree limb. She reminded us of Jane from Tarzan. It was pretty cool watching her swing on that thing. She asked us if we wanted to swing as well and I made the comment that I would bust my rear if I even thought about trying that. Which was true. Then she took us up to the barn. And if you know me, you know animals and I don't necessarily mix. Well Jessi was like "Here, hold this chick." I freaked out, but held it anyways. Then I was like, "Take it back please please please!" Yeah everyone got a pretty good laugh at that. It was finally time to pick and grin. Steven and I sang and then Waylon, Tanya and I sang and the Jonathan sang. It was a grand ol' time. Well, we left and then when I got home, I added Kathi on Facebook. We became facebook friends and we talked about a friend of Jessi's that didn't believe in God and how Jessi was trying to witness to her. Well, I knew then and there Jessi was someone I wanted to be friends with. Kathi asked me to pray for Jess and her friend and I said I would. Well that following Sunday night, Jessi was at church. I freaked. I was like JESSI! YAY! And her and her parents came every Sunday, Sunday Night and Wednesday after.
