God is jolly good

It was a serious moment at Jack’s 90th birthday celebration six years ago.

We sang as he cut the cake then someone began “For he’s a jolly good fellow.”

Jack stopped us, pointed upwards, and began our song with his own lyric: “For GOD’S a jolly good….”

The photo was snapped as he corrected us.

Yesterday I shared a reflection at his funeral. You might like to click on the image to listen.
