Our prayers are with you gals during this hard time. Uncle Jack is in a better place where he is no longer suffering. I know personally how hard it is to lose a father but keep your strength up and know that he is not closer to you than ever before. I loved Uncle Jack like my own father. He was an amazing Great Uncle to me. He treated me like his little angel. I remember when I was a little girl I told Uncle Jack I was going to marry him. Then when I told him I was engaged he told me, I thought you were going to marry me? We laughed together and I told him that I will always love him much more than any other man besides my dad but I found the younger version of him and I want to marry him. He laughed and said well at least you see now what you get to look forward to in the coming years. Uncle Jack was and still is the most amazing man I have known besides my dad. He truly exemplifies what it means to be a great person, father, and family man. He used to come over with Millie to my grandma Pearl's house to play cards and he used to tell me so many jokes.... I remember telling him, Uncle Jack, how do you remember these jokes. He told me I just have a great memory. Uncle Jack was always smiling even on the worst of his days. He is a lot like my grandma Pearl, they are both very loving and loyal people who have huge hearts. I will miss Uncle Jack everyday but I know he will be with us in spirit. Hugs and Kisses, Angela and John Jordan
