Jim, there are no words, only LOVE which never dies. You will all miss Jack so much. May the days ahead go as well as they possibly can for all of you. You're in our thoughts and prayers always.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jack influenced my ministry and helped me to become the pastor I am today. I'll never forget hearing about him coming to Jerry after my first sermon at BLVD and saying, "I think she's got a little Baptist in her. She'll be ok." I thank God for Jack's role in my life.

Barb,
I am so sorry to hear about Jack. He was a nice man and you made a wonderful couple. Losing a husband is very difficult. I know I lost my husband three years ago after 38 years of marrige. God gives you the strength to go on some how. With your faith in him he will see you thru the rough time ahead. Keep those memories with you forever and always know Jack is there with you even tho you cannot see him.
God Bless
Janet Gage Hall.
