23/08It is impossible to describe the loss of a child, especially your own. We have survived and are moving forward with faith, but we will not be the same - ever! Jackie is deeply missed! We have all lost our innocence. We are grateful for our faith as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the promise of our family living all together again, eternally. It's amazing how his short life has touched not just our own, but countless others. Tomorrow, May 1st, 2009, a large photo of Jack will be on its way to Kenya where it will hang in a newly constructed library for some special African students who have been helped by a program called 'Koins for Kenya", instigated by our Aunt Shelley's sister, Rinda Hayes. The inscription will read, "Share your learning as he shared his love"! So our sweet blue-eyed blonde angel will forever be seen through the eyes of these dark-eyed, dark skinned children who cherrish their opportunity to learn. We love you Jackie, and know you are about the Lords work, on earth and in heaven!

Welcome back to the blogosphere! What a great tribute to Jack. Can't wait to keep in touch with the rich's and see what they are all up too!
Jo,
I guess we are all joining the ranks together. It will be fun to go back and forth between blogs to catch up on everybody.....because you are right - we don't see each other often enough!
