Dear Mary, Luanne and Scott,
I am so sorry to hear about Jack. You are in my prayers. You were literally some of the first people I met since you, Mary, shared a hospital room with my Mom Jean when she had me and you had Scott in July 1966. Take good care of each other and hold onto the good memories you have.

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember Mr. Stoneburner from the days when you lived next door to us on Grant Street and then when our mom would bring us out to visit when you moved to the farm on D Avenue. You are in all of the Warnez’s thoughts and prayers.

Mary Ellen & Family and the entire Stoneburner Family:
We were saddened to learn of Jack’s passing. We had heard that he had been sick, so perhaps this was a blessing for Jack that he is no longer suffering. However, it leaves an empty spot in the hearts of the entire family.
I have fond childhood memories of the Stoneburner family. Over the years we haven’t seen them as often, but whenever I saw Jack, he always had a big smile on his face.
May your memories and the fact that Jack is at peace help you all through this difficult time.
Don and I send sympathy and our love.

To Mary Ellen and Family and ALL the Stoneburners:
I’m so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing, it will leave a big hole in your family gatherings. My memories of Jack will always be of a happy and cheerful guy who enjoyed a good joke and lots of laughter. We shared a special sign from the Little Rascal TV shows. “High Sign”, Jack, you will be greatly missed!! My love to you all.
Jan
