I never saw the face behind those wonderful songs, I grew up with until seeing your obituary picture. Those songs brought me joy and good memories. I am sure after a brief rest in heaven, the angels are going to call on you for some more songs to comfort the Lord. May your family be at peace on this difficult time.

I loved the Movie The Way we Were. It was the last movie I went with my mom. We bought crie like babies.

Thank you. I play Jack Jones' in concert version of What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life at least once a week. Yes! it is one of the most romantic songs of all time.
