    Linda & Eric Wiswell says:
    My Father was a man~a true man who took care of things in life that needed to be taken care of,mainly his wife and children.He loved all things that life had to offer~he enjoyed them tremendously,but my Father also was a hard worker which was born in him. My Father was a survivor and he survived a lot of things life had for him even up to the very end,he fought the battle before him. My Father is not with us,not of this life but has started a new life in a special place.One day we will all be in that special place together again,but for now my Father rest in heavenly peace❤️

    Although I never got to spend a lot of time with Jessie, (JP as we called him), I will never forget the wonderful times we had when my family and I would visit he and Thelma during the summer when school let out. That was many, many years ago when i was a teenager.Their kids were my age, (well pretty close anyway)! Don't remember what we did back then, but I do know we had a good time! I will miss JP very much. We always felt welcome, as did anyone who ever met the two of them! I am so thankful I had the opportunity to see he and Thelma a few years ago, after not seeing them in over 40 years. What a Blessing! Thank you Ronnie for taking us to visit them. Now there are only three of (Paul Bass') children left. Sad,but true, He will live on in our hearts forever! May you RIP brother! We love you JP. Wish we could have been there.
