Not sure what to say?

Dear Jackie- I'm sorry I didn't write anything sooner. I missed this obituary. You were a big part of Sara's elementary yrs. We're sorry for your loss. It is so difficult when those we love die, let alone die so young and so sudden. There aren't words to make this better. I just pray God fills you with the peace only He can. It is normal to feel lost but turn to Jesus and scripture. It will help. Remember even Jesus wept. Yours in Christ Helen and Sara Jeffries.

Jackie, Jordan and Jillian;

Our hope is you receive great comfort and blessing each time you remember Dad in all the moments to come. He will always be near because he lives in your hearts, and he will always be so very proud of you!
I met your Dad last year at the Y where I lifeguard; we all have the greatest respect for him as a swimmer, helper and man of integrity and good humor.
My family and I will keep you close in our hearts, thoughts and prayers for a very long time.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Bonnie,Jackie,Sean and families:
There are no words to express on loss like this. Jimmy Mac was one of my favorites of my brother John's friends. I have many happy memories of them growing up and the wonderful times we shared with our families at the beach. I always looked for him when I come back to Butler at the Y. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Mac was a wonderful man. Cherish those memories.

Bonnie, Sean and Family,
I just learned of Jim's Passing. Please accept my sincerest sympathies as I was not aware and thus did not come to offer comfort at his service.
I remember us all happily in your kiddie pool on Sunset Drive.
