Marie and family, we were so sorry to hear about Jack's passing. He was a wonderful man and both of you were the best friends to Mom and Dad. They loved you both so very much.
John and I do too. Jack was always smiling and happy, I don't think I ever saw him angry. He was always ready to
help anyone who needed it.
John would always tell me about the two of you and your Cookie get togethers at the "Y' .
He will be missed by all who knew him. You are all in our prayers and we will make a donation to the Society of St
Vincent de Paul in Jack's name. Love to all: the alter boys at our wedding, Dennis and Tom, the ENT tech, I always talked too, Mary Kay and Terry, just for
being herself, Terry.
Marie, you hang in there, Jack wants you to be Happy! I know it will be difficult and will take a while , but it will come, slowly but surely.
Love
Dolly
