My most heartfelt condolences to Drew and family. Jessie Atkinson was an amazing woman; strong, smart, caring, capable, interesting, funny, beautiful, and she loved her family immensely. I held enormous respect for her and I loved her dearly. Jessie went from 2nd mom to friend and had such a positive impact on my life. I consider it an honor to have known her.

I was stunned to see this news. Jessie was one of my favorite folks at 8am at Old St Andrews. She leaves us all with a sense of living every day to the fullest. I will miss her hugs and smiles.

She loved her friends and family and was always a joy to be with!
