Mary Ann, you and Jack are the closest thing I have had to Grandparents since mine passed before I got to meet them. I am very sorry for your loss. I will miss Jack, he was a great person and we had the same opinion on many topics, as you know from our discussions.
If there is anything I can do for you, anytime, please let me know. I will visit you when it is a good time for you. Take care.
Condolences,
Martina

Mary Ann. Had lots of laughes with Jack in Myrtle Beach the past few years. He was a gentleman and an avid golfer. I'm sure going to miss him. I'm so sorry for your loss.
