Whenever I called the house, Jack would give the phone to "his bride". What a great way to show his love for Elizabeth! You'll be missed out here in Kansas.

Dear family,
I am so sorry to hear about this news. I decided to write because I know what is to lose someone. But I want to share the promise God give us regarding this matter. He will swallow up death for ever and will resurrect our love ones in an earthly paradise. Meanwhile his holy spirit will help us dealing with the sadness and anger that we probably will feel. I hope these words will help all this family and friends.

Sincerely,

Lynette Gonzalez-Perth Amboy, NJ

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
