I’ve always admired my cousin Jack. If you ever saw him you couldn’t take your eyes off him…he was just that pretty 😊 and if you were ever blessed to met him you will never forget him…he was just that kind. When I was younger and when he would visit my mom… I’d hang on every word he would say. He was a handsome man inside and out. He is loved and will be missed by many. He’s absent from the body, but present with the Lord. I love ❤ you cuz….Patricia Sledge-Evans
