Jack had the cutest sense of humor, always making us laugh in school and church youth group. He was a very good friend who will be sadly missed. He is with Jesus now and we will see him again one day. My condolences to his family and other friends. Keeping you in my prayers. May God comfort each of you, as only He can do.
