TO THE FAMILY OF JACK & JENNY SHOOK:
RONNIE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT A BLESSING YOU MOM AND DAD WERE TO ME.
THEY WERE THE SAME EVERYTIME YOU SAW THEM. THE WAY THEY TOOK CARE OF MS. HANEY, BUD,VIRGINIA AND MONTY. THEY OPENED THEIR HOME TO THEM AND TOOK CARE OF THEM. THEY LOVED FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND SEE THEM. I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN JENNY WAS SICK AND BROTHER GEORGE WRIGHT WAS AT BOYD MCCLARREN’S CHURCH AND THEY WANTED TO GO BUT COULDN’T, I TOLD THEM I WOULD GET HIM TO COME THERE AND PRAY FOR THEM, AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED WHEN WE SHOWED UP, AND BRO. WRIGHT HAD PRAYER WITH THEM. THEY BOTH LOVED GOD AND LIVED FOR HIM. I AM SURE JACK IS HAPPY NOW THAT HE IS WITH JENNY AND ALL THE LOVED ONES GONE ON BEFORE, MS.HANEY, JOE, BUD,VIRGINIA, MONTY AND ALL THE OTHERS. HE LOVED YOU MOM SO MUCH AND THEY WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER. I’M SURE THEY ARE REJOICING IN HEAVEN NOW. TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY!!! MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALL IN YOU TIME OF SORROW, BUT REMEMBER EARTH’S LOSS IS HEAVEN’S GAIN. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL
