So sorry about Jackie. He was not only my classmate he was a good friend. We marched together at graduation in May of 1958? Good memories. A few months back my phone rang and I was surprised it was Jackie he said something told him he needed to call me so he did he wanted to know about my relationship with Jesus so we sat and talked for a good 20 or 30 minutes he was happy to know I was a Child of God too. I guess he needed to talk to someone about Jesus and Heaven and I did too it was a pleasing chat with a true friend and I wiil always remember it. Jackie will see you again when we all have our reunion in Heaven with Jesus. Prayers for all the family may God bless and comfort. He was a great guy.
Dearest Patsy,
We are so very sorry for your loss.
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers,
May you find comfort in knowing Jack is in Heaven.
Love,
Joe & Rose Ellen 🌹
We were so very sorry to hear of Papa Jack’s passing. We loved him so very much and are so thankful for all he taught us in Sunday School. Love you Ms. Pat, holding you up in special prayer asking God to carry you through the days ahead.
So sorry for your loss. Jack spent many hours helping us with the Cove Chapel food bank.
RIP Jack.
My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. I remember the years working with you at Lindsey Trucking Company.
