July 28, 2012 Our deepest sympathy to you, Joyce, at the loss of your God-given wonderful husband. Jack was such a special and Godly man, full of the love of the Lord, full of compassion and caring for his fellow man, and full of the joy of life. Gene and I have such precious memories of Jack and are grateful to have been a part of his life. You have been blessed to have shared your life with Jack for those many years. Our Deep love and prayers are with you, dear sister, now and in the days ahead. ~ Gene and Anne Harmon, Newport News, Virginia July 28, 2012
Joyce, our deepest
sympathy goes out to you in the loss of your wonderful husband and
our friend. Jack was a Godly and caring man who gave of himself to
the lost and had a zeal for Christ and compassion for those in
prison. Jack loved life, loved people, and made the best biscuits we
have ever eaten (and that's saying something). You have been blessed
to have had him for many years. Our hearts go out to you and we will
keep you in our prayers now and in the days to come. July 29, 2012
Joyce and Family, I was
so very sorry to hear about your husband. Please know that you and
your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
