To the family of "Jack" Shanks, Jr;
It was a pleasure to know him, we worked across the hall, he was there early morning and sometimes I left him there in the afternoons. He was a great family man. He often spoke of his family fondly, especially when his daughter went thru her ordeal. We prayed together and God saw her thru this to be there for the rest of you for only he knew that "Jack" would not be. May you find comfort in the Lord and his kindness will give you the strength to endure the fays ahead. God Bless the entire family. You all will remain in my prayers.
