I had Jack and Eloise on my mind today and checked FaceBook for them I am saddened to learn they are both gone. The years I spent as their friend in Georgia was such fun. They were both masterful people, successful at everything they touched. Most of all, I remember them as great, fun loving friends who loved big.
