Beth, you and your family have been in my prayers. You have our deepest sympathy in your loss of Jack. I remember him as a fun, hearty man. He is with Jesus now and we will see him again in heaven for eternity. So very nice to have visited with you recently at Bee Tree. You are a dear woman and you are in my prayers.
Beth, Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. The following quote has always been one of my favorites….’When you reach the edge of all the light you have within and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen; you will find a firm foundation on which to stand or you will learn to fly.’
It was with great sadness receiving news from Marty about Jack’s passing. Praise the Lord he is visiting with Mom and Dad. My deepest sympathy is with you, Beth, and the rest of your family. My life has been much richer having Jack and you as friends, neighbors, and Christians. May the Good Lord bless you and the rest of your family.
You and your family have been in my thoughts
