Dear Pops,
You are more than just a man. To me you are the greatest man i know. My father, inpiration, my friend and my heart. We have talked so many times over the pass years. You've told me so much, things I didn't understand. Now that your gone home I see it clearly now. Life is to short. You live it to your best, put God first, take care of your family, never settle for what you have and strive for more, that's what you did. As I left Gretna, VA Monday morning I stoped by your rest place and thought to myself wow! He's has really went to go be with the Lord. I love you and miss you so much. Thanks for all that you have done for me. You'll Always be remembered and untill we meet again... Adios Jack!!!

To Sarah and Family,

Sometimes things happen and there's nothing anyone can say or do to make it better. It just takes time~~ time to cry, time to heal, time to be.. And ever though there isn't anything I can do for you right now, I am here for you now and always. Care for all of you deeply. Remember that you're never alone.

Perry was not only a friend he was a true brother to me. God's blessing be with you always.

Love,

Patrick & Carol Hill
