Dear Lenora, Peggy, Deborah, and Dana, I am sad to learn of Jack's passing, and want you to know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I have many very fond memories of your entire family, along with my parents, Ernest and Myrtie, and the great times we all had together. Some of the nights at your roping/cutting arena and at ours, are highlights of my growing up years. All of the Slushers were very special friends to my parents for many, many years. You will all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Sandra
