Mr. Jack will be greatly missed by everyone who visited the nursing home regularly. Our group plays music there on Thursdays, and Mr. Jack was always there ready to sing a song for us. His sweet spirit and generous heart was an inspiration to us all. "Buelah Land" and "He Touched Me" were two of his favorite songs, but he'd sing "Someone to Care" on occassion just for me. He was truly a blessing and I know that his appearance in heaven caused great jubilation for a true saint had made it home.

We have known Jack for a number of years, having met him at the nursing home where we had Sunday school class/singing on Sundays. He was always eager to sing, had a friendly, kind spirit. We shall miss him terribly. Jenell, LC and Wanda Tackett
