Dear Rob, Toni and family! Are sincere thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time in the loss of your dear mother. She was such a beautiful Lady in everyway! I bet your dad was up there to greet her with his arms wide open to give her the Biggest Tightest Hug! Together again forever very beautiful!😇💔😢❤️❤️
Our love goes to all the Jack family at this time. We had the privilege to live across the street from Doris & Bob for over 13 years. Our porch visits, shared treats and friendship are cherished memories. Our fond memories of watching regular (nearly daily) visits from each of their kids enriched our lives. We strive to love our children in a way that they will support us in our older years much like the Jack children did. Thank you for being some of the sweetest neighbors and friends life could give.
Rob and Toni I am sorry to learn of your moms passing. I have a lot of fond memories of her and your day. I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.
To my Dear Cousins.... Sending all of our Love and feeling the loss as well 💔 Aunt Doris.... Such a Beauty. Her sweet spirit and her smile will stay in our. Hearts 💕
