Pearl and Billy, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Jack this past week. Jack was always great to my staff and myself at the club. I missed having you both as members since you resigned a few years ago.

All the best during these tough times.

Dear Pearl,Billy and David,
I have fond memories of growing up next door to you on Edgemere Street.
Brockton was certainly a special city. I will always treasure the memories of our past.
Jackie was truly a man of inspiration. I remember when he became mayor of Brockton. That was a special time in our lives. May Jackie's memory live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him.
May the love and comfort from each other at this time help heal your loss.
In friendship, always,marcie
