We loved your parents. Had so many wonderful times with them. They were the best. So glad they are together again. What an example of what a marriage should be. So sorry we will not be there. So happy for all the talks we had with him. All our love and prayers.

I had the privilege of knowing Pastor Jack and Thelma during their years at Christian Life Retirement Center. Their ministry to the residents there was definitely a labor of love and they were very much loved in return. Pastor Jack will be missed as well as remembered fondly by the many who loved him, including me! My prayers are with the family.

It was an honor to know and be in mnistry partnership with Pastor Jack. We served many years together at First Assembly of God in Rockford, IL. I greatly admired and appreciated both he and Thelma. Their example of true Christianity as they loved and served people in countess ways, was an inspiration to all who knew them. My sincere sympathies to the family.

Hi Cindy and Stew! I can't imagine the reunion in heaven, your parents and mine. My parents loved your parents and I have such good memories of all of you when we were young. I know it's hard for both of you, we know how you feel having them gone. God Bless you all...
