Gloria very very sorry to read of Jackys passing. I still can see Jackys’ face as he carried an arm full of wood for the fireplace to keep us all warm and how proud you and Jacky were to show us your first little baby. Jacky is a big loss , he always looked after everyone and always had a smile! and very proud of his family!
I have so many wonderful childhood memories of time spent at the farm! I’m so glad I was able to spend some time with Jack last summer. All my love, Annie xox

I loved my sleepovers at the farm when I was little.. I even secretly loved it when Jack would hang me upside down by my ankles. ❤️
