Jack, I know we never met. I've known Jakki for quite a few years now, I met her in the Navy. I have always been jealous of the relationship she had with you. One of her stories are of how you taught her how to play Dominos. I envy the closeness you and her shared. I am imspired by you and make time out of my busy schedule to play games with my two young children. Rest in peace.

I didn't have the opportunity of knowing Sheila's Dad, but I have the pleasure of working with Sheila at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Sheila has shared photos of her Dad's flower gardens there in Arkansas and I was overwhelmed with their abundance and beauty. I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and strength during this difficult time in your lives. The Lord now holds one of life's most precious and beautiful flowers in his arms.
