I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was such a good man. I have enjoyed knowing him for many years and it was great getting reacquainted with him when he was working in my backyard on the church rental property. No words can make this better but know that in time it will be easier. And all of you have great friends in the community to be there when you are ready for support. Prayers from my house to yours.
