My father-in-law was a one of a kind man. He set the example of Jesus Christ to All he came in contact with. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed by all as well. He walked with God every moment of his life. He sang constantly, and it was always a testimony about the love and goodness of Jesus Christ. He will be extremely missed.
ReplyDeleteMissing Jackie very much. Have not seen or spoken to his family in quite some time, miss them too.
