Mitch Carmody of Heartlight Studios created this picture
of Jesse. When he sent it to me he wrote:
..."I
am so glad you liked it; it was truly a pleasure to create this
for you, and to feel Jesse's dynamic spirit just a little in the
process is humbling and an honor. I will attach JPEG which will
be the same one which will now appear in the appendix of the
second edition of my book "Letters to my Son" It is with other
portraits in a collage of "my kids" with simply a hand written
"Jesse" by it. It should be out by
March 1st, I will send you a copy. I hope
you don't mind, it was last minute decision to change the back
page before it goes to print next week to include Jesse... so
that his light can shine with the rest. i.e. Ashley, Sean,...."
