Daddy, "Papa Boone", you were greatly loved and will be missed. Prayerfully we will all be together soon. Jack loved the quote from Charles Spurgeon, "Depend upon it, your dying hour will be the best hour you have ever known! Your last moment will be your richest moment, better than the day of your birth, will be the day of your death. It shall be the beginning of Heaven, the rising of a sun that shall go down no more forever." Our family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to Penny Arnold, the staff of Brookdale Senior Living Center and the staff of Bristol Hospice Group for their love and care of our precious father, Jack Boone.
