MY BLUE EYED BOY….Heartbroken mum Hester longing for her son Jack to be returned home. Here Jack is pictured with his sister Katie who is searching day and night along the River Foyle for her brother who has been missing for almost a week now
THE people of Derry and right across the North have been sending very touching messages to the family of missing Jack Glenn in their hours of need.
The 23-year-old entered the Foyle River last Thursday and he has not been seen since.
Searches are being carried out day and night on the water and along the shoreline by volunteers, friends and family to try and locate Jack.
They now fear the water has claimed his young life and just want to find him and return him to his devastated family.
And people have been going out of their way to send messages of support to the family on social media, sending words of comfort in this their time of need.
The messages have helped to bring comfort to the devastated family who are also so thankful that people have taken time to send them their messages, thoughts and prayers and have also taken time out of their day to search for Jack, who is heartbroken mum Hester calls her “blue eyed boy”.
But the family will not rest until Jack is found and returned home to them #getjackback.
