To all our friends and loved ones,
Dear Jess passed away at 6:43p.m. today after fighting dementia for the past
5 years.  As you can imagine I'll be busy for the next several days.  Will
contact you in the near future.

  2. Hello Julie, It is your old friend and neighbors Jim and Laura Peters. I was doing some research in hopes to track down you and Jess and came upon the news of his passing almost 3 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss, we loved Jess so much. He was without a doubt one of the kindest people I have ever met. He loved you to the moon and I am sure he is making others smile everyday in Heaven. Please do reach out to me if youd like us to bring you up to speed on our family! We miss you and will pray for you! Stay in touch. jim@jimrpeters.com or 858-776-2959. Love the Peters family on Montfort Court!
