Martha, Karen, Evelyn & family:
I'm so sorry for your loss. Jack was a special man who was always smiling and friendly. I never saw him that he didn't have to have a hug. Martha hold tight to the many memories that you all made together and Karen & Evelyn remember all of the special times that you had with your dad. A daughter's love for her dad is something special.
Love to you all!
