Dear Pam, Regina and Priscilla: Please allow me this opportunity to express my sincere sympathy to you on the recent death of your husband and father - may he rest in peace. I will continue to remember him and you all in my Masses and prayers in the days and weeks to come. From my own personal experience, I know how difficult it is to lose a loved one. Our consolation as such a time rests in the sure knowledge that the separation, as painful as it may be, is for this life only. We can be confident that we will be united again and that that reunion will last forever. God bless!

At times like this it is very hard to understand God's plan.Sometimes we feel bitter and want to stray from God. This is understandable in our grief, but you need to preserve. I did not know Jack, but from the postings from others have a glimpse into the heart of a good, graceous, and Godly man. He is with the angels now. If I can be of some help or comfort for you in the future, please do not hesitate to call on me

Terri, it has been many many years. I didn't know your brother. I have many, the loss of just one of them is very hard to imagin. I pray that the comforter will come, and bring you all peace, at this difficault time. My prayers go out to you and the whole Severance family.

In 2 Corinthians chapter 5 it tells how even in sorrow, we who are left behinde to morn, can be glad!

In Verse 8. It tells us...To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

Respectfully & Prayfully Yours,

Dear Pam, Priscilla and Regina,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. You are in my prayers. Please know that God has a reason for Jack leaving. I still pray I'll know why Duane was called to serve. It doesn't seem possible that it has been 5 months since he passed. Keep God very close to your heart and those of your girls. He will be your strength and redeemer. Always remember, as long as Jack is in your hearts he is ALWAYS with you.

Br. Richard Richmond

May God bless you all,



Br. Richard Richmond, O.S.B.

Pam, Priscilla and Regina-

As I sit hear with my eyes filled of tears, my heart is aching so much. I have so many memories of watching you and Jack run around the house after the girls. One would have to go one way, the other, would go the other way. Scott enjoyed their many talks and felt that they had a connection and we thought of you guys as good friends as well as awesome neighbors. Even though we are 1100 miles away, please know if you need anything, we're here for you and the girls!! You are very special and will always have a place in our hearts!!

Gary and Cindy Friedhoff

June 26, 2006

We are so sorry to hear of the loss. We knew Jack as the friendly neighbor who would wave as we drove by or as we walked our dogs. When Cindy walked the black/white border collie (Doogee) Jack would say hello while he worked in the yard or on the house. We live just down the street (white fences on the street). If we can help please let us know.
