Thank you Shirley. I will let my grandma know of your kind words.
My grandpa was a wonderful man. I love him with all my heart and I miss him so much already. Ive lived across the street from my grandparents for 5 years now and Ive lived less than 5 minutes away from them for the last 8 years...Ive been there through everything and it will be so hard to walk across the street and go in to their house and not see my grandpa sitting in his chair, drinking his coffee and looking at the tv guide. Its little things like that, that make you realize just how important it is that you spend every chance you can with the people you love.
I love you grandpa and you will forever be in my heart.

My husband,John and I, were neighbors and friends of the Bass family since the early 70's. Our children grew up together and we have remained friends through and lot of ups and downs. Jack was a good
family man and a hard worker for many years. Just as my husband was. We shared a lot of happiness and heartaches and have remained close. My sympathies to Isabelle and her children and family. Remember, I am only a phone call away.
