Sorry to hear of you loss. Jack III and I are friends having met him when I lived in Southaven. I had the opportunity to stop and visit with him and Mr. and Mrs. Jones in Baton Rouge while travelling from Dallas to Mobile.

Praying the God will give your family strength and comfort in the upcoming days. Sincerely, Lana McNichol
