UDATES
July 12, 2008

We have been extremely busy with the final details of Jack’s Memorial Service for July 16, 2008 at 10:30 AM at Park St. Church in downtown Boston across the street from the Boston Common and the Park St. Station “T” stop (Redline for those from out of town).
Following the service, we will walk to 60 State Street (before the Quincy Market area) for a reception and light lunch in The State Room (Boston University Alumni Club). It is on the 33rd Floor in Harborside 4 section of the Club. The reception is slated for 12:00-2:00 PM. Afterwards, if anyone would like to come back to our home, they are most welcomed. Our address is 24 Central St.; Winchester, MA 01890.

For our Kentucky family and friends, the Memorial service In KY for Jack will be held on Friday, September 12, 2008 at 1:00 PM at Rock Bridge Baptist Church where Jack’s family attended for many years. There will be a reception following this service but the details are not complete at this time. The date of the service will coincide with the “Branstetter” Family Reunion weekend at the Branstetter Park that Jack and I attended 2 years ago. I know many of you come from far to attend this fun day and that you have shared so closely with us this difficult journey. We wanted you to have the opportunity to be with us as we celebrate Jack’s life and the many gifts that our gracious Lord bestowed upon him and us.

Words do not express the love and gratitude we feel that each of you have expressed toward our Jack and us. He said it best: “Not many people have the opportunity to see this much beauty and majesty in their lives. I am very content. My cup runneth over”.
