Barbette, Linda, Jim and families,
I am deeply sorry to hear that Uncle Jack has passed away. He was such a kind, sweet, quiet, gentle man. He also had quite a sense of humor. I really saw evidence of that at my wedding (many, many years ago!) when he started clowning around with some of the other guys there. He was hysterical!

to the family,
I did your mothers hair for years and loved all the stories she told about her loving family. I met your dad several times as I would go over and see her cross stitch of all her grand children, while your dad would be working on his stamp collection. What lovely people they both were. I know they will be truly missed.
