My heart goes out to Jackie and family. I dont always understand why they are taken so young, but I pray you all get through this very difficult time and wanted to let you know that hopefully someday we will have the answer.

I am so sorry for the loss to the immediate family and the extended family which includes me. I was thinking back while growing up how close Bruce and I became living at Nanas and then in Michigan. I am sorry that we grew separate. As I was remembering all the summers in Milroy with all the boys and how much pure boy fun we had growing up together! I am sorry again and will miss him. Heres my email...wordwarrior66@live.com. Would be great to hear from you.
Love,
Scott & Rhonda and family
