Not sure what to say?

Through a game of the internet,I recieved the chance to witness a love of perpetual proportions. Something unseen and unheard in this new millenia. I became inspired...and saddened for Jack was not with Dee very long after that. I was able to see the beginning of the end. And I learned that TRUE LOVE is unconditional & lasts till death and beyond. Thank you Dee for allowing me into your life and view a love great enough to span decades... and the spiritual world. Thank you Jack for showing me...

Dear Jack and Dee,
Your marriage was a great visible tribute to your love. Thank you for that, the world needs to see that love and you have proven that even death cannot separate your love for each other.

It is always weighs heavy to let a soul return to our father. I really wished that I was blessed to have been able to know the great story of the man I carry the name of. It's uplifting to hear that his grandson also has the namesake to carry on. Carry on your greatness in heaven that you left on earth.

Dear Jack...It hardly seems a year has gone by without your smile and encouragement. I sure miss our "side trips" for lunch and coffee...but I have seen the strength of your love through your wonderful children and especially all that you gave Dee. She has grown so much even while in the pain of missing you she still makes you as proud of her as ever. I know that she has amazed herself as her steps have grown from tentative to firm. We miss you greatly Kemo Sabe...but you live always in our...

When Jack first came into our lives he was Jumpin Jack ... I was 12 (I think). He was a "star" in my eyes. He would often take me with him, as his able assistant, on his personal appearances. It was great fun! I felt very special. Our families would get together almost every weekend (or at least it seemed that often) to play board games. Because of my young age I would play with Stephen, Dana and Michael so the "grown-ups" could play. As I got a little older I was allowed to stick...

Dee and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jack was the funniest guy and could always get a belly laugh out of me!
What a gift he had to lighten everyone's lives with his funny, funny clips! I so admired he and Dee's love and devotion for each other. He is missed by all!

Jack, I'm sure you and Roger are having a great time bowling , playing cards and giving everyone there a hard time. Give Roger a kiss for me, and love to both of you

I didn't have the blessing of meeting Jack in person but I learned a lot about him through you, Dee. I know that he was an awesome human being...loving, giving and very funny...just to name a few attributes. The most important thing is that you were (and of course still are) crazy for him. He loved you like no other...and I will never forget the story of how you two met, that was so very romantic. You are an incredible woman, so happy to have had the opportunity to meet you through the...
