After attending visitation yesterday and talking to the family it made me realize how important neighbors really are. I have not seen many of the family members for years. So this was not only a celebration for Jack but a reunion of old friends. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to everyone and hearing the stories they all had to tell. I sure hope our paths cross again.
