Dear Ball Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad.
I remember spending time in your lovely home in Lodge Grass, trying to hang out with all of the “big kids”! Jack and Dee were always so nice!
My heart goes out to all of you.
My best regards,
Barbara (Hammett) Turner

So sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. We have such fond memories over such an extended period of time. He was my “only brother” growing up. He and Hank had flying stories. You have been blessed to have him for so many good years and memories for a lifetime. Dee and family, I hope you have read the poem “Life is just a stopping place”, it is so comforting!.
Thoughtfully, Donna and Hank Esp
