Dearest family,
I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Jack's passing. But we can count it as pure joy as he is now with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please know that Norm and I are with you in prayer as we both know the pain of losing a family member. Tim was so good to give a call and let us know of Uncle Jack's recent illness and also his passing.
With much love,
Norm and Jeanne xo

Dear Marjorie, Sally, Linda and Family~~
I am so saddened to hear of Jack's passing and my heart & prayers go out to all of you. I know that Jack is at home with the Lord and I pray that you all take comfort in that. All of your love & devotion to him while in the Health Center was inspiring to me and I pray that I can be as diligent in caring for my mother there as you all were with Jack.
God's blessings to you all~~
