Our dear friend Jack who was living with advanced heart failure died peacefully last weekend. Jack was the kindest, most supportive and creative human being. He will be missed by and live on through so many family and friends. One of my Covid projects was to use up 3 garbage bags of the yarn I moved from DC. I have been accumulating the yarn over the decades and decided to make lap blankets which were most amenable to the sometimes small amounts of certain colors of yarn that I had. I was determined to use it all. Most of what I have made over the years is baby blankets so the colors were generally not very manly. However as I was creating one that had darker bold colors, I knew immediately I was making it for Jack.
I gave it to him in 2022 and it was his constant companion over the past 3 years as his mobility was increasingly limited because of the hear failure. It was on his lap as he celebrated his last birthday on April 15th. His daughter Sally wrote the most fitting obituary for her father a true officer and gentle man. https://www.sandersfuneralandcremation.com/listings
Knowing something I made provided so much comfort to someone else is such a gift. Thank you Jack.
