My Friend Jack

My family lost a dear friend when Jack Wetzelberger died this past Sunday. Jack, who was in his 70's, but it did not seem like it, was one of the very best friends my folks ever had the privilege of knowing. Back in the 1970's, when my parents found themselves ostracized by their congregation (which, for them, was the vast majority of the friends they had) Jack, and his wife Shirley, were part of the very small group of people that provided fellowship and encouragement for them. Jack has a reward waiting for him, because God noticed the kindnesses he showed my family, and others in need like the widow for whom he faithfully provided transportation. Please pray for Shirley in her loss.
