My sincere condolences in this sad time. I feel so lucky that
my childhood memories include days spent at uncle Jack's
and aunt Dorthy's running around with countless cousins. I
know that these wonderful memories are a treasure left by our
family, and I am so glad to have had such a family.

Uncle Jack and Aunt Dorothy were always two of my favorite people. As she has been sorely missed and never forgotten for many years now, so will he be missed and never forgotten as well. My deepest sympathies go out to his beloved children and grandchildren. I am so truly sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this
time of sorrow. We regret that we can't make it
back to TN be with you. However, you are in our
hearts and we grieve with you at the loss of Uncle
Jack. He was a great man that touched many lives
and he will be missed.
