I was shocked when my sister told me about Uncle Jack's passing. We both had wished someone would have phoned, at least Jacky, to let our family know the sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Joslyn. I still can remember Uncle Jack's contageous laugh. I also remember how good he was to my sister and I when my mom was sick. I will treasure those acts of kindness forever.

I am so sad to read about Uncle Jack's passing. He was always very kind to my mother (Barbara Dean) and was there for my sister and me when she was passing away. I happened to be looking up someone else's entry and I don't know what made me look up the name Carrier. I wish that someone would have called either my sister or myself so that we could have paid our respects. I know since the passing of my mother we have not been as close as we should have been and we always seem to realize that when it is to late. But we have never stopped thinking about you.



Joslyn: You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.



John, Julie and Tracy: Hang in there during this trying time and remember it does get better with time.



Jacky, Kevin, and Alex Yahl
