In lieu of flowers, we are asking anyone so inclined to make a donation to Living Water International  a 501 (c3) organization which was near and dear to Jack's heart. We would like to build a well or multiple wells in Kenya, in Jack's name to give the gift of water, where we can go and be reminded of the incredible grace and love that God has for us.  Please direct all contributions to: www.water.cc/jack-mcatees-well-of-love.
