Dear Dad.
You will be missed, you will always be in our hearts. You were a Dad that we could always count on, we all knew no matter what, you had our backs even in your final days. Luckily for us, you always tirelessly gave of yourself. One of the most important things in life that you taught us was the ability to laugh at life and at ourselves.
Dad, I believe all pets go to heaven, so what a joy for you to have Chops, Sam, and Sugar meet you at pearly gates and lead you into see your family and friends.
In your words of guidance "Because of the Grace of God" we know, that one day we all will be together again, and because of that Grace of God, all of us will be in healthy painfree bodies.
Love you, and we will see you again, all in God's timing.

Missing my friend
I spent my hours with Jack and Jane when I lived in Martin's Corner. There were times when I think I ate dinner there more than their children. I will miss him so very much for the great friend he was to me. My heart goes out to all the children and grandchildren and especially to Jane. I have no words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Jack was a great person, liked to laugh and have fun and I am thankful to have so many great memories of him.
With Love and Sympathy
