CandleJean and family,

Jack greatly improved the quality of the Ames School District; staff; and most importantly, the students. Over the years, he not only made the "learning environment" for the District the best, he also was a great motivator to all he met (staff & students) towards making Ames Schools #1. He will be truly missed!

CandleJean, Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name. You are mine! (Isaiah 43:1b) The promise at the beginning and at the end of this life on earth!
May you find comfort at this special time. Love and blessings,
