Condolences

Condolence From: Anne B. Croteau
Condolence: Dear Mike and Mark,

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing! He was truly a wonderful man! I am equally sorry to hear of your mother's passing as well! I have often thought of her through the years! She and your father were nothing but kind to me! I will keep both of you and your family in my prayers!

Sincerely,
Anne Berry Croteau

Condolence: To the family and fellow friends of our beloved Jack Hopper ...

I join with you in mourning Jack's passing. I shall never forget almost twenty years of friendship with this good man. He was a generous man, of good humor, and of a caring spirit. He was a foundation or rock for so many -- someone you could count on to be candid with no pretense and no ulterior motive. He could be an encourager as well. He loved JSU, his family, and friends.

We who were privileged to know him will always treasure our memories of Jack.

Just about everytime I've thought of Jack over the years, I have smiled. Jack could lift your spirits just by being around him.

Some of us were privileged to break bread with him again recently, and it was a great thing to see Jack smile and joke and enjoy being around his sons and friends for that occasion.

To his family, I pray God's blessings, healing, and comfort will strengthen you.

To his fellow friends, may we find a moment to offer words of thanksgiving that we could count such a good man as our friend.

Even though he was ill, Jack came to my father's funeral this spring. There were two prayers that day that I am listing here, hoping that all of us who mourn may find comfort in them:

"Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant Jack. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen."

and

"O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our brother Jack. We thank you for giving him to us, his family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."

Condolence: Dear Mike and Mark,

I am so sorry to learn about your Dad. I feel fortunate and blessed to have known him for over 50 years. Jack always made each person he met feel special--what a great loss.

My sister (Gail Mayo Dickson) and I lost our parents in 1979 - - one in July and the other in November. Hard to imagine now, however time will heal your pain. Your parents were as dear to me as my own family. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss Janice.

I am here if you need to talk. Please feel free to call. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

With much love and sincerity,

Barbara Mayo Page

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I worked with him in the Montgomery office for 8 years. It was always a pleasure being with Jack and the others. Whenever I think of him it always makes me smile - he was the most positive, upbeat person with a great big heart. He had a smile and a hug ready every time he saw you. I know you will miss him tremendously as will everyone who knew him. It was my pleasure to have had him for a friend.

Condolence: Dear Mark,

I was saddened to hear today of your Dad's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, this is a tough journey that we all have to make. A parent's unconditional love is one of life's purest gifts. You were always a special guy to me and a great salesperson. Use this passage as a time to redirect and refocus your legacy. I am always in your corner.

Fondly,
Linda Spalla
