Today, August 15, is still Jack Buice's birthday. He has been in Heaven for 21 years, 7 months... and I have never forgotten him. He is always in my mind. I love him. And I still say "Happy Birthday, Jack".

Jack was a wonderful friend and choir director. We had a lot of good times in our ten years together at Highview Baptist Church. We have missed him and Ann since the move to Waycross, but he has remained on our minds and in our hearts - and always will. Heaven's choir is now enriched by his presence.

Our love and prayers are with Ann and the rest of the family.
