To Mrs Dovre, Jimmy, aka Sweetheart, and a Great Oma,
(Make your mark on this earth while you are here so everyone remembers who you are for today not just tomorrow- JR jr.)
She was a wonderful woman. Very straight forward In every way and VERY accepting of me - for all my faults in what I will call me in 1975 as a Southern Baptist young man so in love with her daughter into her VERY Catholic family in marrying Marie in 1977.
I loved her everyday and always respected her and her family and what she wanted. I will always Miss Her so very Dearly. She loved her entire Family no matter where we all have been and do live and especially her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren as well. But her deepest Love I ever witnessed first hand was her love for Al. I respect that Love So much and have tried oh so hard to make sure I lived up to that in our marriage as well. For that I am and always will be eternally grateful to her and Al both.
God Bless You Jimmy so much and Thank You for Everything,
Jack
