Jackie closed his eyes from the world one last time, knowing he had two most loving and caring parents,Jack & Cindy Early. Their love,strength, kindness, friendship and determination grew over the 27 years knowing that one day, GOD would need HIM, just as they've needed HIM. I pray that no worry stay too long and your heartaches ease with time. And though Jackie has gone his seperate way, GOD will give him the biggest window to watch "YOU," everyday.
Jack, Cindy.....I,m so sorry I can't be with you to give you my hugs,but I send them in Spirit. My heart goes out to both of you......He sure was a CHAMP!
All my Love,
Debbie O.
