My thoughts and prayers go out to your family for the loss of such a wonderful man. He was always so happy go lucky when I would see him and I'm sure he's giving God a mouthful for taking him from such a loving family. May God give you strength and love to help you through this hard time and may he allow Jack to show you at times he's still watching and taking care of all of you.
