"Dear Sundberg Family, Words can not express our sorrow. Jack touched our lives and will be missed by so many. We will continue to pray for your family. Our love to you all."

"Dear Megan,
My name is Rae Snell, I am a Jazzercise instructor in Potsdam (upstate New
York)and I received an email from Nancy Keener about your son. I don't
know where to start but I will say that my heart goes out to you and your
family. I am sure it has been a very long road for you and I can only
imagine what you are going through. I have a Jack of my own, he just
turned two a few weeks ago and I also have a daughter who is nearly 5
months old. I work part time at a bank and teach Jazzercise twice a week,
with two little ones, my life is very busy! I know I am a stranger to you
but I am not a stranger to the trials and tribulations of being a mother,
sometimes I think I am losing my mind and other times I want to burst with
the love I have for the two little people in my life. I am sending you all
my strength at this time of sadness and I will think of your son when I
look at mine. I hope you take comfort in the thought that now he can play
with his toys as long as he wants, eat popsicles for dinner and never feel
the pain of a fever or a scraped knee again. All my love as a mother..."

"When my husband was fighting cancer, I remember someone sharing with me that God sometimes heals by taking the cancer away from the person, and other times, He heals by taking the person away from the cancer. I truly believe, as you so obviously do, that this is the case with Jack.
What a beautiful little boy! Now you have one of your very own children waiting for you in Heaven.
I am sure you will have well-meaning folks telling you how they admire your strength, etc. They will not see those moments when you do not feel so very strong...but God does...I pray you will always show Him your warts and not be afraid at all to "dump" on Him - perhaps you know this already...He can take it, He understands. He wants to supply all your needs, from moment to moment.
When I lost our first baby I found myself saying, "Well, at least I know He is with the Lord in Heaven." Then I found myself thinking, "at least?" Why should I say "At least?" Isn't an eternity in Heaven what we are all supposed to be shooting for? My baby just got there first. Where better to leave my child but in the hands of God Himself? Not even WKids can match that kind of loving care! ;-)
My prayer is that God will send you, if He has not already, some wonderful thing - a "sign," if you will, a Scripture, something - so that you will know that you KNOW Jack lives, just as his Savior lives, and that he is perfectly well and fully realized in every way...and that you will indeed see him again. And I ask God that, whatever sign or signs He gives you, you will remember these whenever it hurts.
God bless you always."

"Megan, Craig, and Robynn,
My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you and the rest of your family as you try to deal with the loss of your precious little Jackie. He was the most courageous little boy I have ever known. I attended Jack's funeral service today and want you to know that your son was one extraordinary little boy that will be greatly missed by all who knew him and by those of us that didn't. Even though I only saw Jack two or three times in the two years I've known Craig, just talking to Craig at work about Jack's battle over the last several months and reading the news on his website, I feel that I came to know him in a sense.
I know it doesn't seem like much right now, but Jack is in Heaven with Our Lord Jesus, free of cancer and doing the things he could no longer do here on earth that he so loved to do. Everyone at Heatron and my church, Mount Pleasant Chapel, will continue to pray for you and your family so that you may come through this horrible pain you all are feeling. Someday, hopefully, we will all have the opportunity to meet Jack when our time here on earth is over. I know that he is there right now wishing the best for the rest of his family that he left behind, and he is waiting anxiously for the days when you will meet again. Until that time comes, know that God is there to help us through anything and everything that comes our way; all we have to do is ask for his help, guidance, and love, and He wil be there for each and every one of us.
May God Bless You All and Keep You Safe."

"I just went on the web site and I was horrified at what I read. I cried when I read it. That's horrible, he was just a little boy and he did nothing wrong, he should not have passed. I feel so sorry for you guys. I hope Jack will rest in peace. I send my care."
~ Monica Laird - 06.03.2008
"There are no words that can be said at a time like this. Just know that Jack’s life was made special because the love you gave him. In the short time I have known the entire family I can tell there is something special, and that will not be lost. We must trust that he is now safe and will be able to see him again someday. From what I have seen over the past months you have an endless supply of friends and family who will be there for you as they have been for Jack. The little guy was blessed to have a family such as yours, and he will always be a part of that."

"Dear Sundberg family: I just wanted to tell you how sorry my husband and I were to hear about Jack. What a little sweetheart! I learned about him from the internet and we wanted to let you know that we will be praying for your family. Our daughter, Michelle, died nearly 13 years ago at the age of 7 from a brain tumor. Her faith in Jesus was so strong and we know she is now with her Savior as is little Jack-perhaps they have even met one another by now. We will see them again!!! Take comfort in your faith and know that many are thinking about and praying for you all. God bless you."

"Craig & Family- Even though I am no longer part of the Heatron family, I have not forgotten about Jack and your family. I was deeply saddened when I received the e-mail letting me know of Jack's struggle being over. He indeed, is in a better place. One with no pain, no saddness. A place where he can now become a little angel to watch out over those he loved so much. My prayers are with you and your family."
~ Mary Ann McClain - 06.03.2008
"I know you do not know me, but I followed little Jack on the internet, and I was so sorry to hear of his passing. Yet, somehow, relieved knowing that Jack's pain and suffering has ended. He was such an inspiration to all who followed his story and knew him personally. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and May God Bless your family."
