He couldn’t say enough good things about you both and his beautiful granddaughter! He wanted me to save a dance for him at Rachel’s wedding , although he didn’t make it to the wedding I will never forget his request! You and your families are in my prayers! Rest In Peace Dear Uncle Jack. Dance with the angels ! Love Sherry
