Betty & Family:

I am SO very sorry to hear of Jack's passing!!! We just found out.

There are certainly no good words to say and bring the comfort you so deserve. Although it has been many years, I always really liked you and "Mr. Flynn". I enjoyed being at all the various school events - you two were always there to give some encouragement or help.

I read the message from Jim and Mariagnes and cried. How true.

I am very sad for you and hope you are managing.

You are in our thoughts and prayers!

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Dear Betty, I am sorry I couldn't be with you on the worst day of your life. You were there for me when my dad died and especially when my mother was dying. I would get a call from the hospital and then call you and race by. Barely coming to a complete stop, I would practically toss you Baby Billy. I left him with you without a thought of worry. I trusted you completely with my child. This evening Jim and I went to the Celtic Club to hear an Irish storyteller and singer. We remembered what a great storyteller Jackie was. I was in control until he sang,"Danny Boy", when I lost it. Billy and Margie still talk about Uncle Jackie coming on Christmas Eve to play Santa Claus. My heart is broken for you, Johnny and family, Bob and Scott. Love Mariagnes & Jim
