Dear Sarah, Kitty, and David so sorry for your loss. I sure have great memories of growing up with your family and Jack always being there telling us stories. He was very nice, loving, and just like another grandfather to Lori and I. It truly is hard to lose a loved one, butI know Jack is smiling down on us.

Dear Sarah, Kitty and David: Words can't express the warmth we have always felt in your home. Jack trying out another recipe, sharing a book he was interested in or just sharing news.
