~Memories Of Jack~ Games of chess, clue, and monopoly with well thought strategy the winner you would be. Gazing at stars through your telescope, at a world of wonder, awe and hope. Mathematical equations you solved with ease to the doors of knowledge you held the keys. Sometimes a prankster and tease you could be, a little boy with a face full of glee. With your bible in hand, you caught the church bus, you were an inspiration for all of us. A compassionate and loyal friend, A man to respect through thick and thin. As the sun goes down behind the trees, A trumpet solo floats on the breeze. Thank you for being a part of my life. With loving memories, your cousin, Sondra
