Wayne & Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. I had such high hopes for Jack beating this cancer. I was able to see him when he went out to eat when Brenda & Sherman came to town. I noticed he didn't eat much or say much. I was hoping for the best and praying that he would be able to beat this. I was glad to hear that he came through his surgery and was handling the chemo treatments, but God called him home to be reunited with his Mother, Father, Wife and his Brother that we also lost too soon to cancer. What a horrible illness that people has to endure and fight the battle to beat it. God Bless you all and may you carry his spirit with you forever. I know it's very hard losing a love one but the Angels will have their wings wide opened waiting for his arrival to welcome him home. Our hearts goes out to you along with our deepest sympathy.

Time has a way of going by so fast as Norma stated. It seems as we get older, we drift away and don't keep in touch very well. I'm so sorry for the loss but Jack you are with Aunt Doris, Jimmy, Uncle Pete, my mom (Edith) and my son Kevin and nephew Troy. Please remember the good times as they will need to help you get through the bad times.
