We have wonderful memories of Jack and his love for the Lord and his earthly family, and of course his singing and his sense of humor. Today we mourn a loss; but we also rejoice because Jack has reached his eternal home in heaven, and we look forward to that day when we will see Jack again and hear him singing around the throne. Please know that you are all in our prayers.
