  5. I have and will continue to pray for the many loved ones missing my Uncle Jack. As I look back throughout my life , I have gone straight to my Uncle Jack anytime I was in a crisis. When my sister Margie died unexpectedly on my birthday I went straight to my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack would listen to my rambling through my tears and he would calmly help me put things into perspective. He would share scripture with me that would bring me comfort. When I had a nasty burn on my leg I went straight to my Uncle Jack. It was Aunt Ruth and Uncle Jack they asked my parents if I could go to their church. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. How do you thank someone for that? Rest in Heaven Uncle Jack! I can’t wait to see you again♥️
