My heartfelt condolences and prayers to the entire Ouimette family. May God provide the strength to get through this difficult time.
Good by Uncle Jack. I am very sorry to see him go Aunt Patty, Rod, Matt & Andrea. I have been thinking of camping trips, Christmases,Easters, Thanksgivings and everything else in between long ago and Uncle Jack rushing me to the hospital in Saratoga. I have always thought of Uncle Jack as someone I would want to have at my back should I ever need it.
