Sara and Family, I was distressed to read about Jack in this morning’s paper. Jack and his family used to live next door to my family on Middlemont Avenue. His brother James was about the same age as my father and I even remember his dad Knox who was a great jokester. Jack was always smiling and fun loving too. We are never ready to lose our loved ones and a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern of caring friends offers the only comfort. Please know we are thinking of you at this time!
Mrs Christopher;I work with Jack at the railroad for many years. He was always a joy the work with not ever a dull moment. May god bless during your lostand our prayers are with you during this time. JOHN GORMAN
Our condolences to the family.

You have my heartfelt sympathy in the death of Mr. Christopher. It is a very sad time when we lose someone we love. We remember the good times we had with them and how much we love them. When we loose someone we love the Bible gives us a comforting message to help us cope with their death. This message is found at Revelation 21:3, 4 and John 5: 25. May these words bring you comfort as they did me when my mother died.
Deepest Sympathy,
Ms. Floyd
