Mary: We were so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He certainly fought a good fight, and you did a wonderful job of supporting him through those years of illness. Although I cannot say I knew Jack intimately I certainly enjoyed my visits with him and had great respect for him May the Lord bless and support you during these next days, weeks and months as you adjust to Jack's absence. But how wonderful to know that when our faith and trust is in the Lord Jesus Christ we have a wonderful eternity to which to look forward, and a wonderful reunion one day in His presence. Sincerely, Pastor Phil & Doris
