Final expression from the family of Jack Sanford - Husband, father, brot her, uncle and cousin:
The courses of our daily lives changed so much when you made the greatest change of all - Your entrance into eternity. We cannot see or know the meaning of why the road must end, or why t he tears must fall, but for each of us r e maining, one by one, the mystery will be removed and t hen we'll understand.
