Dear Aunt Mary Ruth & Family,
We were so surprise to hear about Uncle Jack's passing. Our prayers have been with you all week.
I think God holds a tear in his eye when he see his children hurting and in grief. The Bible says that Jesus cried at the tomb of Lazarus' his friend. He knows and shares our grief. He promised, we will see him again in the place He's preparing for us. In Heaven, our grief will end. God will wipe away every tear from (our) eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. Until then, know that God weeps with you.
Love you, Linda##imported-begin##Linda & Preston (Russ) Russell##imported-end##
My heart breaks for all of you as I know the hurt you are feeling now. My own pain is still very fresh. Just know that in Gods master plan he was ready for Jack to take up his place in his kingdom of glory. I know he will be greatly missed but the greatest part is that we will see him again. I know that we didn't see each other often but Jack was always so sweet to me and my family. After my daddys funeral my girls talked about how nice Jack and Leon were to them in their time of grief. Jack lived his life as a good Christian man and now will receive his reward of everlasting life in Gods house. If there is ever anything I can do for any of you please let me know. My love and prayers are with you and your entire family. Remember, he may be gone in body but the love remains always!##imported-begin##Guy and Rhonda Hall##imported-end##
We are sorry to hear about Jack. But we have hope that we will meet again. My favorite scripture is: "To Be absent from this body, is to be present with the Lord". What an encouragement. We have had a lot of laughs down thru the years. I wander if Jack still had his hands in his pocket when he reached Heaven........I BET HE DID!.
He was the best pepper grower ever. We will definitely miss him. I don't know who Lee will pick on now. We love you and your sweet family.##imported-begin##Cathy and Lee Griggs##imported-end##
Dear Davis Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss and pray that the Lord covers you with his mercy and grace like only He can. While sadness is natural, Jack lived a life that will provide a lifetime of good memories on which to dwell.

My Sweet Mary Ruth and Family.
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow in the news of Jack passing from this world - because of the loss that you feel; but we rejoice knowing that he is with his Lord.
If anyone knows how you feel just now, it is all of us. We continue to strive for healing that we know can only come from God.
To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. Remember he is not gone - just gone before. My granddaughter, Mandy comforted me with these words, "Grandma don't think about each passing day as a day without Granddaddy as missing him; but count each day as one day closer to when you will be reunited with him. I await that day hopefully.
Jack will be greatly missed by all who knew him as he was a good man, a good husband, father, and grandfather. Our loss is Heaven's gain. I love you all. You will be in my prayers throughout the coming difficult days.
God bless you all. Pat##imported-begin##Pat Walston and Family##imported-end##
