Haven't wanted to blog...alittle down in the dumps.

Just getting on today to say goodbye and fair well to our good friend Jack Watson who passed on this last week. We have a group of 4 couples who always go snowmobiling over every President's Day holiday weekend in February. Well he suddenly left us this a few days ago and it has been hard to deal with. Watching his family suffer. Knowing God's plan and knowing they don't know and aren't interested in knowing. I can't give them the peace I feel. Jack was a huge guy with an even bigger heart. He would give his time to anyone who needed it. He was the school crossing guard at Layton Elementary for years. He wouldn't take crap from any driver speeding thru his school zone. He would stand out there in front of their cars and slam his great big hand and stop sign on the front of their cars. The police would come and the people would get so mad because they would get a ticket for speeding thru a school zone and Jack would go right back to protecting "his kids" as he called them. We use to get together on Friday nights with him and his wife Ellen and the Ridl's and play Texas Hold'm. Thank Heavens we didn't use any money. That man has a really good poker face. Jack we will miss your loud booming voice and laughter and your jokes. We hope pray you are a healthy happy man now. May God bless you family with strength to get through this time without you. You are a great person and a good friend.
