Dear Nichols Family,
With deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. I will always treasure the good times when we all got together to make chilli and applebutter and seeing Jack during the Christmas Season when he sold Christmas Trees. He always had a smile and a joke to tell. These were my fondest memories of Jack. May God surround you with comfort and peace during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Treasure the memories and love one another. The greatest gift of all is God's love for us and knowing he understands our every need. May God's love sustain you now and in the day's ahead.

To Carla and family, I am sadden to hear of your loss. God knows what's best. A place where there's no more pain and suffering. You did a wonderful job Carla and now it's time for him to rest. Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. Psalms 30:5
