DEAR BARRET FAMILY,
JACK WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED BY ME FOR HIS KIND AND GENEROUS HEART. HE CARED FOR HIS MOTHER IN A LOVING AND COMPASIONATE MANNER. AFTER HER DEATH HE BECAME THE FAMOUS MAKER OF HER DELICIOUS IRISH BREAD WHICH HE ENJOYED DOING. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE THE RECEIPIENT OF SOME WHICH WAS A COMFORT TO ME BEING SO FAR FROM HOME.
JACK'S MARRIAGE TO ANN WAS WAS TURNED FROM JOY TO SADNESS AS SHE BECAME ILL AND PASSED AWAY AFTER A FEW SHORT YEARS TOGETHER.
JACK WAS TRUSTWORTHY AND WILLING TO HELP OUT WHENEVER YOU CALLED ON HIM. HE WAS A WONDERFUL LIFE-LONG FRIEND TO MY BROTHER TOM WHO WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH.
MAY HE BE RECEIVING THE GRACE OF BEING IN HEAVEN FOR ALL ETERNITY WITH THE UNITED HEARTS OF THE HOLY TRINITY IN UNION WITH THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, JACK,
FONDLY REMEMBERED.
FRAN POTTER
