JACQUES -- Jerry G. Jacques Dear Dad, We love you, We miss you so much. Your love and your kindness, your soft gentle touch. If we had to live life over we would choose you once more. If it meant losing you again it's worth all the tears in the world. While our hearts are filled with sadness and tears. We had many good memories and know you will always be near. The day that you left us tears fell from the sky. Our hearts filled with sorrow, your final goodbye. For years you did fight and struggled to stay here, but you sent us a sign when the end was quite near. Your soul is at peace and not far away, your body has died but your spirit lives strong in each one of us where it forever belongs. Your time here was short. We wish you could have stayed but they need you in heaven, the angels called you there way. No longer do you suffer down here on earth. You struggle no longer. Dad you are free of pain. Your mind is clear and you call us by name, you can ride your horse once more through the woods in the breeze. We hear your whisper and feel your warmth from the sun. Until the day comes that we cross over to you, Our family will not be complete. Never a day goes by that you're not in our hearts and in our souls. Dad we can't believe it's been a year. We love you. Your loving wife Lorraine (vieja), your loving Daughters Ginger, Jackie and Your son Jerry Jr and Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren
