I am so very sorry for your loss. I am praying the Holy Spirit comforts you and uplifts you during this time. In Matthew 5:4, Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” Your family is in my prayers.
I am so sorry for the entire family. Jack was a good man and neighbor. He wasn’t just a friend, he was family to us! 34 years of knowing him. This is so sad. Prayers for all of you!
