Jack, you were the love of my life and the father of my children. I regret that our journey was cut short. We went up many a hill and endured it with love and persistence. Life threw us many a curve but we made the most of it and kept on climbing. The girls and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have had you in our lives. All of your hard work made life so easy for us. We are reminded of you in the everyday things like your truck, your leather chair and the ring of the phone. We miss your daily calls and "I love you's". It is not for us to understand or ask why you had to go. Maybe time will tell. One thing is for sure.....you were loved so much by so many. Those that cared are now taking care of us and getting us through the sadness. Thank you for being my friend, my love, my dance partner. I would not have missed it for the world.

Love,

Jill

Your wife

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. Im sorry I didn't make it by the funeral home I had to go out of town for work. I have thought about you often ever since Lori e-mailed me about Jack, I wish there was something I could do to help ease the pain. If you need anything please call me I'm in the phone book or e-mail me. Take care, as time goes by the hurt will ease but somethings you never get over. I wish you all the best, hope to see you soon.

Jack, You are suffering no more. I know that in my heart Jesus has taken you home and you are hunting in the big woods above. I always enjoyed our times together and our Friday nights out with our families. It has been so wonderful and fulfilling to be able watch both of our families start out from the very first time I met you and "Rod" at Kingley Ones to watching our children grow up and become adults. I will miss seeing you on Friday and hearing you say "Hey Man" and seeing that smile on your face when we walked in your door. I will miss hearing who fell asleep in the chair first. I will miss our Redskins-Cowboys debates. I will miss our Atlanta Braves baseball talks. I will miss hearing you talk about your hunting trips with Jerry. I will miss hearing about all of the things you were learning in your job. I will miss your smile and your voice and your humor. I will especially miss growing old with you. I love you man and I have lost a brother. I take comfort in knowing that you are free from pain and from this old world and know that we will all be together again one day. Please know that we will be there for Jill, Eve and Skyler. We love them dearly. Love ya man,

Tommy

Bridge Called Love



It takes us back to brighter years,

to happier sunlit days

to precious moments

that will be with us always.



And these fond recollections

are treasured in the heart

to bring us always close to those

from whom we had to part.



There is a bridge of memories

from earth to heaven above...

it keeps our dear ones near

its the bridge that we call love.
