Kelly, I never got the chance to meet you but I always new "of" you through your Dad. He lived down the street from me. I used to help him with computer problems from time to time. Such a nice and thoughtful man. He loved you very much. I hate that he had to struggle with his illness but I'm glad you were all there with him. Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk. May God help lift you when you need it. Sincerely, Rhonda

I was sadden to read in the Sun Journal that Jack had passed away. We went through school together in Alliance and Pamlico County High. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Sue Riddick Slaymaket
