Your family and Jack are in my prayers. I was sorry to hear of this sad news. I was a friend of Kyran and Mike at CHS, and I remember "Little Jack" out on the Baker farm when I stayed over with Kyran.
Remember - In your sorrow and despair, Jesus always weeps with you, as he did for his friend Lazarus. And though unseen, He will take your hand and gently bring peace to your heart.

Although Jack didn't know me, it seem's like yesterday when I was in Jacks dad's barn with Harry and Howie. There was little Jack,hanging on the cows tail swinging between the cows legs with a big smile. I wished I got to know him as well as I did his big brothers. I can't imagine your pain but he will be waiting with his mom and dad for all his family join him again forever some day. Sorry for your loss Jim Bisek
