Jack was one of my 1st cousins on his Scruggs side of his family. __ I will miss him! We enjoyed talking about world views, philosophy, science, and politics, while tasting drinking whiskey. We never ever agreed on political views! My love to our Family. Tim Scruggs

When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why Jack left this earth so soon, or why Jack left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that Jack died, but that Jack lived.  And that his life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
You will be missed my dear friend. My Just Jack...
