Jack was a great person (as well as Lola)! I always enjoyed Jack’s smile at church. He always said ‘hi’, and yes, a premier photographer!
I know Jack will be missed — but he is now back together with Lola. And, praise the Lord, we will see him again.

Many wonderful memories of their service to others and to the congregation of Monte Vista Chapel. Wonderful legacy.
