  1. Dear Hall Family,
    My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of great loss. I was honored to assist Iris in Pulmonary Rehab at Parkview Hospital. She was my very special patient and friend. I will miss her. Much Love, Chris Arveschoug RN

  2. Jim and Family,

    Just wanted to let you know I was saddened to hear that your mother had passed away. It really brings back the flood of feelings that accompany the loss of a parent. Its a very difficult time; and it changes your life. The only good, is that it collects family and friends that you only wish your Mom were alive to see. My heart goes out to you and your Dad. I spoke with your Dad briefly last night to offer my condolences and he sounded alot like my Dad would have sounded–strong but hurting. I remember you indicated that your Mom recently celebrated her birthday at our reunion this past August. Again, my very sincere and heartfelt sympathy.

  3. Dear Hall Family,

    I learned of Iris’s passing today in a letter from James Hall. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. I was worried about her, as I could tell her health was failing as well. She was a faithful researcher and helper for much Jessee Family genealogy, many descendants of James Jessee owe their information to her. I would like to include the obituary in the next Jessee Family Newsletter, and I know many will mourn her loss as well, as she was a faithful contributor to the Newsletter, too.

    Please share my condolences, and though I never had the pleasure to meet her in person, she was a helper and friend, even by long distance correspondence. I am sorry for your loss, but you can be very proud of her, too.

    Jim Jessee
