What a reunion there must have been in heaven! Jack and Betty are together again. They were well loved in our Redan First Baptist Church family by young and older alike. My granddaughter Amanda thought that Mr. Jack belonged to her and would follow him anywhere. He was wonderful with all of the little ones just like Betty always was. They were a very special couple who have loved us and their Lord and now can rest with him forever. Precious memories flood my soul ………..
