Kim, I did not find out about Jack's passing until after the services. I am so sorry I was not able to be there with you. I know how your heart must be breaking losing your big brother but also your best friend and your rock. He was a good man and this world was a better place with Jackie in it. My heart goes out for you. Love you,

Kim, my last one didn't sound much like a condelence but a walk down memory lane. I can't tell you how sorry I am. He is such a great guy and I am so thankful to you for sharing your brother with me. (And for sharing Emmett and Maurine). I don't know if your family loved me as much as I loved them but they sure made me feel like I was so very much loved. I am a phone call away if you need anything. I would like to come see you but I know you would like to do things in your own way so please let me know when I can see you. I love you sis.

My Sweet Kim,I didn't get a newspapers until Sunday and it was 3:06 when I opened it. I fell to the floor. Not knowing what to do, how to tell you how sorry I am. He was so good to us wasn't he. Remember when he rescued us out of the snow only to put us "in" and then "out" of that ditch? After we caught our breath we all laughted so hard we almost ran off the snowy roads about three more times. And when the "too" of you decided to decorate my car for my birthday. Darn, was I 21 or 25? I have thought about all the times he was always, always there for us. He didn't judge people, he just loved everyone. I will never forget all the wonderful and sooooooo much fun we had with him. When he had his first party at the lake house you and I were like....Jack is having a party.....WHAT? He just wasn't the partying part, you know. We both said, NO WAY ARE WE MISSING THIS ONE. WE WILL JUST GO AND SEE WHO'S BORED. Boy were we wrong. It was so much fun and when we got there he was so happy to see his little sis. I guess he didn't think we would come but he didn't know we had a different idea of what his party would be like. That was another fun day. I can go on and on but I need to do that in person and I don't have your new cell. Mine is the same along with home. Please call me. I love you Kimberly, your little sis.
