Elena, Susie, Polli and Jack's entire family: I just learned of Jack's death and, as I am feeling the overwhelming sadness and tears are falling, I am lifting you all up to the One I know will hold you and comfort you. Jack has, and will, always hold a special place in my heart and life. I will forever recall and hold onto the memories of his duties policing the streets in Belleville and his 'social life' on Iron City Avenue. I honor and loved the place in him where the entire universe lived. His laughter and love will echo through my reminiscence of childhood and our reconnection as adults. Tough we are forced to let go physically we never let go emotionally or spirituality. Memories of Jack's love for you, Elena, his adoration of his family and extended family of friends will always keep our memories of Jack alive. May your special memories strengthen you not to be strong just to go on, but to be strengthened in your love for Jack and each other. Can you imagine the party that is going on 'up there?' That's our Zookie! ! My thoughts are with you always and in all ways.
