Dear Carol and family,
Please accept my sympathies in your loss. I had the chance to work with Jack for many years at Butler Hospital. He was a skilled nurse, a compassionate person, and just fun to be around. Then, I knew your family when you attended North Main Street Church of God. Prayers for strength and comfort to you during this time of sorrow.
Warmly, Denise Drescher-Wilson
