Dear Sharon,

Please accept my sympathies to you and your family. You, my dear friend, are always in my thoughts and prayers, and most especially during this difficult time!

Jack was someone who always had a kind word, and usually a joke, for me. He loved his family and God in a unique and wonderful way. I know he will be truly missed, and yet will remain in my memories of church forever.

Sharon & Family, Please accept my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
