Brenda, children, cousin Joni,
So shocked and sorry to hear about Jack. He was always such an awesome guy and always reminded me so of his dad, ( my Uncle) with his calm and quiet nature but also his quick whit and wonderful laugh. (Obviously a blessed family trait).... the laugh part, maybe not the calm and quiet part. He will be missed, but I know, and you all should find comfort in the fact that our Lord and Savior has welcomed him home and he is currently and personally witnessing HIS GLORY.
Much Love,
Tammy
