Remembering Jessie Aaron: A lovely lady

About: Remembering Jessie Aaron from Harrison, OH

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

My mother, Faye Rowe, thought very highly of Mrs. Aaron.

She frequently inquired of the family if we knew how she was doing.

She requested to go to the funeral home and even though she is homebound, I was prepared to take her.

As it turned out, the funeral was ending- we didn't know it was in the morning hours.

To the Aaron family, she and I extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of this lovely lady.

Sincerely,
s/Carole Rowe Thomas
