    We wish, so much, that we could be there with you to grieve the loss of Auburn.

    Please find comfort in knowing that Auburn was met by so many loving family members that have passed, and that he will be well cared for. I can’t help but feel that Brandon was there for him when he arrived and made his journey painless.

    Our family is sending their love from California.

    Auburn was such a sweet kid and was so full of spunk. I always loved that smirky grin. He will be missed by all of us, but we’ll continue to celebrate his life. Praying for you.

    Lisa and husband and Jimmy and family, There is no way to even begin to tell you how precious your whole family has always been to our family. The closeness that was shared by Auburn and Patrick was and is precious that words could never even begin to make anyone understand. I can see Pa Jennings taking them now to the poolroom together. They were his boys. Auburn was a sweet inter soul young man with humor and a love for all man kind. God took him to young but we know he has a reason for all things.Please try to put your faith and trust in him to help you get through this. We are also so sorry for the loss of your step=son Lisa and this is a lot for the family to have to bear. know that we are here for you. Our hearts ache for you and if there is anything at all that Jack and I can do for anyone of us please don’t hesitate to call. We Love you all! In Christian Love, Jack and Sandra
