There was once a man, who made everyone smile. He meant the world to me. He would come in, and after that everyone was smiles and giggles. He would buy me presents, and take me to nice restaurants. He was the best. He was my very best friend. You might think being friends with a 41 year-old is creepy, but really, age has no effect. So this beautiful man fell out of my life for some time. I was devastated. I won't smile my fullest without him. Last summer in 2011, we got back in contact, and next thing you know, he was back at my house, bringing the smiles. Taking me out places and making my smile once again. He had this laugh, it was amazing. No one can compare. A couple weeks ago I was pulled out of school during 4th period math. I looked at my dads long face and asked "Whats wrong" and he resisted to tell me. I pushed on and on. Once at my locker he told me, "He Died". Honestly, cried, I was broken down. I can't even begin to believe he is really gone. But he is. There isn't anything I can do about it. I will always hear you laugh, I will always see that smile. I will always know your here, next to me. Goodbye, best friend. I didn't want to believe I will never see you again. Cause I will. When I'm gone. We will be together. In Gods arms. You were a beautiful man. I love you always.?

God took you away from me April 17th 2012

We had the pleasure of knowing Jackie for just a short time. His Mother Betty welcomed us to the neighborhood three years ago. One day I was working in the yard and he came over and introduced himself to me and we talked. From that first conversation of ours I could see he had a very good soul but, like they say " The apple never falls to far away from the tree. "  I know this is a devastating loss to his Mother and Brother, his entire Family, close friends and is just as devastating to the Family from across the street who had the PLEASURE of knowing Jackie for three short years. He will be missed with tears of sorrow and remembered with smiles of joy.

Dear Sanders Family,
This is such a devastating loss! Jack was such a dear friend to our son Wally (Anthony)! He played such an important role while Wally was rehabing from his initial surgery. Jack was a gift  that allowed Wally to live a bit longer.We will always remember the time Jack and Betty visited Wally in the hospital and Betty sang to Wally! Jack shared some of his peanut brittle! Wally really enjoyed that visit!
 Please know Jack will remain in our hearts always.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
 May Jack rest in peace.
Fondly, The Allegro Family

So sorry to hear of this horrible loss. Jackie was such a fun guy. I remember him so well from high school.  I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will miss him so much.  So many ups and downs we had together and so many years.  It was so crazy when we met and started hanging out, people thought we had been together for years.  We just clicked like that.  My heart goes out to Betty, this must be absolutely devastating.
