Mom never quit. I don't think I ever saw her quit. When life got tough she went harder.
Life story

Jessie was a good mother and grandmother. She was the girl scout leader for Kayla, took us to dance class in Pratt and always supported our endeavors. She always made sure to create magic at the holidays with decorations, homemade food, games and opportunities to make memories. We all enjoy homemade stocking that she made over the years. She loved to take the grandkids camping in the R.V.

Eldest Daughter of Jessie

I would choose you a million times again to be my mom. I'm proud of how hard you fought especially the last three years or so. I am so thankful you got to talk to Kevin and I on the phone so much that last year. I will continue your work my way. I am donating money in your name as a memorial to the Hamilton Hospital Rehab Department to help others struggling with Acute and Chronic disease processes. I know that you would want me to help people in your name. We will see you again soon, in the blink of an eye. Hold a spot for me as you gallop horseback across the green meadows into the mountains. Tell Granner I love her too. I am happy mom, very, I finally found someone that gets me. Love, Kayla Renee Bruton ❤️
