Sad Affair

This day of thawing out in central Indiana is a somber one for the Jackson, Mason, Seifert and Pace families. Funeral services for Robert "Bobby" Jackson of New Palestine Indiana are today from 3 to 8. Bobby was Jenni's Uncle, a perpetually pleasant man who loved family greatly and was always charitable and fun to be around. Bobby was a snow bird and was staying in Florida where his Niece Susie Siefert was visiting when he started complaining of severe internal pains. He went over a week in the hospital there before it was decided he should be brought to Indianapolis for treatment. He arrived the day of the big snow the 12+ inch snow. I took over two hours for the ambulance to get him from the airport to Community North Hospital, and he was in very bad shape before that. The Prognosis was bad, two or three days, and he passed before the second day back in his home state. Jenni's mother Peggy Mason is the only surviving Jackson sibling, Sandy her older sister passed from cancer a few years ago. Sandy lived in Morristown Southeast of New Palestine and the services were held at the same funeral home as Uncle Bobby's will be today. Jenni and I miss both of them, Bobby's deep caring voice and sense of humor and both of their charitable giving natures. It is a sadder world without them and they will be remembered with joy.
