Patsy, so very sorry we were unable to be there for the service. Jackie, you, and your family mean so much to us.
I am surely missing you PeeWee, you got that name because you was a small boy but you showed us all, you grew up to be a mighty man, gentle and loving. You married my sister and we all loved you. You loved Peggy & her family. You overcame many difficulties in your life. You just carried on. When my sister got sick you care for her so diligently. You raised three Beautiful girls and one boy. They have all done well. You have been there for me helping me out where there was a
need. You might have been small as a boy but in my book you are a GIANT of a man!!!!!love You always. your sister-in-law Ruby
