So surprised to learn about Jack's departure! You are both in the sweet memories I keep of my stay at your house in Montreal, Gwen, a long long time ago. Jack is now Home, just some time before us. And he now sees the One who loved and loves him so, what a comforting thought! May He Himself comfort you all.
