To Jack's Family,

Though we never met; I have to tell you something I know about your guy. When I "was left out in the cold" at Christmas time he made sure I could provide my child with a gift. He would never allow repayment.

I remember he loved the swine auction. One year he gave us some 'pig stuff', one of the items was a calendar. I cannot remember what year it was but every year since a 'pig' calendar hangs in our kitchen. God bless you all, now and always. With warm regards, Robyn

Dear Aunt Jaunita, Larry, JoAnn and the rest of the Rowe family:

I am so saddened by Uncle Jack's death. He was such an important part of so many people's lives. I don't know if I ever told you how much he meant to me when my dad was ill and in the hospital. He always seem to show up when I needed someone to talk to. He was such a great friend to Dad and our whole family loved him. You are all in our prayers. "The Lord bless you and keep you" in this time of sorrow.

Love, Mary Shane

Dearest:Rowe,Salvato,Schneider & Riassetto family,

No words can express what you guys are going through, my heart goes out to you all. What a great loss you all suffer, know that I share in your loss and hold you in my prayers. May God be with you all and help your broken hearts heal.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning,

God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,

You are alway by our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.
