Remembrances
Jack, you were always there for me. You helped me
find someone to fix the water pump to the house, you gave me instructions on
how to replace a rotted sub floor and sill plate. You knew someone when I
wanted to put in AC and you offered encouragement when I was having employee
problems and was just plain frustrated. And, you were so very generous
sharing your deer, antelope & buffalo meat with us.
You always offered good advice and then followed it up with a story that
would make me laugh and feel better. Dinners together, dominos, and hunting
asparagus, lessons on so many things, your stories and your quick laughter,
I will miss them all. But, you are in my heart where I have held you since
we first met and my memories of you will bring me happiness when I miss you.
Jack, thank you for taking me into your life and making me feel special. I
will miss you and always love you.
