Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May the words in John 5:28,29 give you hope and comfort.
Dear Carmie and Family,
I send you my sincere condolences and prayers. Even though I didn’t see Jack often, I had so much fun when I was around him. I loved the twinkle in his eyes as he told me about your family, his horses and his recent adventures. He always started his conversations with me as “You know, Patty” and ended with something like “your mom never did know how to play cards well”….making sure my mom was within earshot. He brought so much fun and laughter to any family event and I so enjoyed playing cards with him.
