Mary Lou,



I heard tonight from Fran McQueen of your brother's death. I never knew him, but I did hear of and admire your years of devoted caregiving. I'm sure you'll miss him terribly, but you can take pride in all you did for him.

Jack will be missed. He was a very inspirational person! Although he faced many challenges, I never heard him complian!! I guess that is one reason, he was lucky enough to have such devoted sibling supporting him. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping that his memories brings you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Much Love, Anne Marie and the boys
