My very deepest condolences to the family at this time. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories Jack left behind. Knowing he was sent here to teach us all something. That he completed his mission and he has moved on to what is next. Believing that while his body is gone from earth his spirit will never die. May you forever feel his presence, God Bless!
