"I remember plenty of talks with Jack. I remember dancing with him at his niece Heather's wedding. I remember him telling me how proud he was and he could not get over how beautiful his sister missy and his niece Heather looked. He was very proud of you and loved you both so much! He will be forever missed. "

"Jack was my first boyfriend and then husband at the ripe old age of 19. He was fun, happy, had a zest for life and as hard headed as they come. I remember the sweet, innocent love we shared. He will truly be missed. "
