Meredith,

It is indeed hard to believe it has been a year, and I'm sure a very long year for you in particular.

Please know that we frequently pray for Jack, you and the children.

With love, your cousin, Anthony

Well, I find it hard to believe that it has been nearly a year since I've held you in my arms, and felt your wonderful tender touch. I miss you so much, my heart and soul aches for you. I know heaven is better off having you there, but I am not. You were a great man, and I am blessed that for a short time, I was yours, and you were mine. I love you Jacky Dunn!

Oh Jackie
How I wish you could have suffered less! Your courage was astounding.
Meredith, you were such a gift to Jackie. No one could have done more for him.
Tina and Earl,
I know your hearts are breaking. Yet as would be said in Texas: The Lord Jesus Christ called Jackie Dunn to his eternal reward; and he is now in a peaceful pain free place.
Seana and Bob; What extraordinary family you were to Jackie.
Denise, I know you will always miss Jackie.
Would that I could be there in person.
love Pam

Though we haven't seen Jackie in many years, we will always remember his smile, quiet laugh and the many good times we had back then. May all of you find peace in your hearts and soon remember the memories that made you all smile.
