To the family of Jack Fara.
Jack was a very quiet, kind man. He loved to play cards with my grandfather August Treft and loved farming. So sorry to hear he passed away and we just found out. He was married to my Aunt Janice and we would see them during holidays or a visit to the farm. I'm glad he is at peace and now rejoined with Janice.

Dear Jim and family--I didn't get to know you or Jack, but heard so many tales of your youth from your Mom, Mary Ann and Freda Lee (my mother in law). You were blessed to be born into a loving (but hard working) family. My husband, Gene Lee, told of summers spent with you on the farm. What hard work it was but also time for fun too. And the wonderful meals your Mom and MaryAnn would make. I know you have many memories of these times too, and may they live on in the retelling and sharing with you kids and grand kids. God comfort you and give you peace. Alice Lee
