Dear Mike and Barb and all your family, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad, from Barb Warden. I never met him but Barb W said he was a gentle soul, which is how I think of you Mike, so I guess you grew up in good hands. I hope you know that there are friends near and far thinking of you and sending their condolences during this sad time. Take care. Allison.

Mary Jane & Family, I felt I was put in this world for Jack to tease, And he fulfilled that obligation with amazing ease. My greatest test was the garter snake that he put down my back. It's a wonder that I didn't have a fatal heart attack. I like to think that he never believed what he did was wrong, For him, it was only meant to make me grow strong. Of course, he was only preparing me for the future, For the many shocking surprises of our culture. I always knew for Jack I took the place of a baby sister, And the love in my heart, knowing this, will be there forever. With a wonderful wife and family, he was extremely blessed, And we know that by everyone his dynamic personality will be greatly missed. Jack's spirit will live on in all of us! Till we meet again, rest in peace, dear John!
