I Did Not Know Mr. Adkins But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Dear Patty, Deb And Mark, Steve And Jane And Bob And Tracey,
So Sorry To Hear That Jack Had Passed Away. I Always Enjoyed His Company, And Especially Times At The Beach With Him And All Of You. He Always Had That Wry Smile Waiting For You, And Would Try And Get Me To Sneak Him Sweets When Patty Wasn’T Looking. We Always Enjoyed Talking About Nature And How Naps Were A Good Thing At Anytime. I Will Always Hold Close The Picture Of Him And Patty On The Porch Of Mark’S Beach House And I Will Miss Jack Very Much. Patty, Deb And All Of You Are In My Thoughts And Prayers. Love, Mike
