To all my family -
So very sorry that Jim and I will not be able to attend Uncle Jack's services as we are in Florida on vacation. We wish you all peace at this saddest of times.
Uncle Jack and Aunt Barbara hold an important part in all of my happiest memories with our whole family and gang of friends. We never did do anything in a small way, did we?
I will always remember Uncle Jack for his kind words and genuine concern, smile and the "Hickey" twinkle in his eyes! Godspeed to you, Uncle Jack!
May the many happy memories that everyone worked so hard to create also serve to help us through this sad time.
You do not grieve alone. I loved him also. May God find a way to ease the pain.
With much love and Sympathy,
Jane & Jim
