Uncle Jack Jenkins was a real Uncle to me.
When we first started talking he said remember whatever you do,I'll be here for you to the good and bad thing's. He was always worried for everyone.
He loved everyone and we were always talking about God.
Now my uncle Jack your our Angel near God.
I loved you with all my heart and soul. R.I.P.
We will never forget you always into our hearts.

Sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. He was the last of the Jenkins family that was raised on the hill. I missed going to Bryson City every year with my family we would drive there and spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins and spend time with aunt's and uncles especially cousins. I remeber the year we met Chuck we has lots of fun. Played baseball in the yard that year. I always had fun going to Grandma's house. Sorry for everyone's loss. Love you all.
