His mother Bevley had instilled in all her children to be first and foremost true to one's self, follow God's word and prepare for self-independence while performing his word. These strengths allowed Jack Duane to be on this earth meeting each day as a new glorious day. In time, the attempts to survive in this world was dampened by pain and suffering.
