Every Sunday, for as long as I can remember, I would call my folks or they would call me.

He could always make me laugh. Love you and miss you. Your Darling Daughter Karla

Jack was always very kind to me and I remember well his nickname for me - "Tom the Bomb". From a boy/destructive way I am sure. His annual hand written birthday letters were always a much welcome delight. When they stopped I knew he was not well. Much love.
