Emily, Johnny and Barbara, Michael and Candace, Darlene and Jim,

Dear Emily and Kids, Wow so much I could say, but then again it would fill this page up.. Jack was one of a kind, I never met a man who loved his kids and all the others on the farm that he took under his wing and made us all his, along with all the Demars doing the same. Life on the farm was much more then growing up on the farm, it was full of love, fun, and happiness.. and Emily you and Ruth sharing all those cookies you both used to make..Nana and Gomp loved your family's so much as well....
