Think about you guys all the time. Wish you could have stayed longer.
Miss you so much dad.
Hey pops, mom is on her way. Gonna be a rough stretch without you guys. Dont know how I will make it.
My heart goes out to the Taylor family and please know my prayers and love are being sent your way. Today, I found this poem by Henry Scott-Holland called "Death is nothing at all" which made me think of Susie and Tommy: I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
I remember your smile (or was that a smirk?) behind each of your gruff looks. I enjoyed our relationship over those years, Jack.
My sympathy to you, Sue, and your family-"Doc"
Enjoyed working with Jack at Lift-Tech. I really liked the sparkle in his eyes when he told stories and showed us pictures from his racing days. Rest In Peace my friend
Well Jack what can I say that everyone who knew you hasent already said, first I think you were like a big BURNT MARSHMELLOW all tough on the outside but SOFT AND GENTLE on the inside. I will miss you my friend and some of our talks while shooting in the back yard. Just know I will continue to pray for your family keep the light on I will be looking for it when I arrive. C-YA
THOUGH WE DIDNT KNOW YOU, WE KNEW YOUR SON, JACK AND HIS WIFE, AMANDA ,AND THOSE PRECIOUS TWINS, ALYSSA AND ALEXIS.
SO SORRY THAT YOU, ALYSSA, ALEXIS AND AMANDA , HAVE HAD SO MUCH TO DEAL WITH IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. PRAYING FOR YOU.
Sue, there will never be anyone like Jack! I love you both with all my heart! My heart is breaking for all of you! I will never forget all our dinners and visits we had! No one could ever ask for a better Adaped Father ( and Mother) in their life! . I know Miss Willow met Grandpa at the gate with her tail wagging! I'm going to miss him more than anything! He was the best person to give me away when Bill and I got married! Bill said will also miss Jack wanting to kick me out and jack move in! I will miss you my buddy! Hugs
