Darlene and family,
You have been in my prayers and will continue to be. I have fond memories of Jack, such as when he and your mom picked me up and let me stay with them while I was back there. Such a wonderful family. He will be greatly missed. Thank you for always loving me and my family.

Gramp (aka big guy),
There are always so many things to say but I wanted you to know that we will miss you very much. You were always there when I needed you. You believed in me and I will make you proud. You are the best role we could have asked for for Shayne. I will remember how we laughed and your little "quirks" that could drive gram nuts (haha). We love you and you will always be in our hearts. Till we meet again.

Aunt Theresa and Girls: Time passes, more memories surface, and the pain doesn't leave but seems to dull when we lose our husband, or our father, or our best friend all wrapped in to one person. We wish you all memories of good times that will take care of the rest.
Love,

Aunt Theresa and Family,

Uncle Jack may be gone but we still have the memories..... Xmas Eve, clam bakes (chuck-a-luck), etc. He made an impression on me when he took my mind off girls and introduced me to CB radio. Even then he made me laugh, 10-4! And I'm sure my Dad and Unc are tipping a few right now.

God Bless,

Ania and Wayne
