Dear Kathleen, I hope you remember me and my Mom from Dr. Testa's office. I usually sat right next to you and Clyde on Thursdays once a month while my Mother Louise Caruso has her treatments. We thought the world of Clyde we met him four years ago when my Mom started and they were both having Aridia along with Gidget who was having chemo. We enjoyed his company very much as we talked about all the TV programs that we all seemed to enjoy and about the up-coming elections and so on. We grew to love him and we grew to love you too. Our hearts and prayers go to you now and we are so sorry that we didn't find out about his passing until last week when we went in for our usual appointment. He is now with God and I am sure that he and Gidget are having a few laughs where they are. Take care and God bless you during this very difficult time. You were a good wife, I could see that and I am sure that God is very pleased. It isn't easy to go through what you have been through. My prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences to the Jackson family. I had the pleasure of golfing with "CJ" in the golf league at Triggs. Everyone in the golf league greatly appreciated the post tournament feasts he provided at his house. I will miss him.

My sincerest sympathies go out to you at this very difficult time. I cannot think of a better man, who had a bigger heart. I was truly affected by this news and wanted you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. CJ was as my father called him like a brother, so in this case he would have been my uncle and I couldn’t have been more proud. In my experience with CJ he was the most welcoming, generous, loving family man I have been around. I will miss him greatly, and will certainly miss his laugh. Thank you for sharing him with us. I am sure you will be surrounded in the next few days by people who knew and loved Clyde and we will all help to ease the pain that this had caused. If there is anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to call.
