My deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother.. god bless your family and have strength at a time like this..

"Be Still"

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dear Deb,

My heart goes out to you. You connected me to Jack so I would have a mechanic who could fix a problem and be honest. I remember you telling me how gifted he was. Jack was just that: kind, gentle, honest, and one awesome mechanic. He raised my little Sentra from the dead so many times so I could keep on driving. To keep me safe he strongly, strongly, strongly recommended that I start looking for something newer to drive. I don't feel like I'm going to be stranded anymore, and I thank Jack for all his hard work - not just for me, but for all his friends and customers. God bless you and Jack's family, Deb. My prayers are with all of you.

My Grandparents were friends with Jack for years. My Grandpa Leo would visit Jack at work since he lived a street away from his garage. I met Jack many times as well and he was so nice and always smiling.
I was very sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Jack's family and friends.
