Susan, I'm so glad you & Jack found each other. I'll never forget the day he called me over to his yard & told me he was ready to meet the lady I told him about. We had a lot of fun over the years going to dinner, backyard barbecues & hanging out as neighbors. Jack was such a great cook, handy plumber, landscaper, & 2nd dad to me over the years. He enjoyed watching my children grow up & let me know he approved of way I was raising them. These past years have been tough on him as his health was failing. You were always there for him Susan & I know he was thankful. He is in Gods hands now & no longer in pain. May he rest in peace.Big hugs, Sally

First I am so sorry for your loss Susie. I thought Jack was the sweetest, kindest man and so kind and loving to Susie. He took such great care of her and worried about her when she didn´t come home soon enough. I am so happy Susie had wonderful years with her. I played with Susie growing up. We would ride our bikes to the pool and swim all afternoon and then ride our bikes home and always stop at isleys for ice cream. We always watched Shirley temple movies. And played with Cinders. I am with you in spirit. So sorry Susie.
