I worked with Jack for many years in the Dept of Social Services. He was a dedicated public servant and a fine man. My deepest sympathies to the family.
Our prayers and sympathy are with the family.
John and Kimberly,We are so sorry to hear about John’s father passing on Dec. 23rd. We knew your father John had been bravely fighting his cancer for many months and was hanging in there pretty good considering everything. Unfortunately he did not make it past Christmas which certainly made it a very sad, yet hopeful Christmas for your family. Sad to have lost a loved one, but HOPE since you are all Christians. We believe that your dad is in a far better place for eternity with God and his son Jesus. No more pain, sadness or grief for your father, but a wonderful forever in heaven. I lost my father last year, and it carries such a heavy burden on your heart. But I know he too is in a better place because he was a Christian and that brings peace to our hearts. We pray for God’s peace to your hearts. God bless you all.
Kimberly, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I wish I could have met him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Many Blessings, Diane
