"Dear Sundberg Family;
I am so sorry to learn about your loss. I don’t know you personally, but virtually speaking through your website and our supplier relationship with Craig and Heatron. I can only imagine your pain, as my son is nearly 3 years old, loves balloons, donuts, and singing Happy B-days to everyone. Life can be so unfair, and I really admire your sense of courage and strength throughout this tragedy. I hope you can find comfort in grieving through the tremendous support network which has bestowed upon you.
Please accept my sincere condolences and sympathy prayers.
God Bless You and Keep You always;"

"Hello, My name is Tracy Hickey & my husband has a brain tumor. Alicia, aka Ladyturtle, found me through the the Oprah site & now I can call her my friend.

"Hello Jack's family,
I do not know if you would remember us, but we met you and Jack at Children's one time outside of the Neuro-Oncology office with Beth and Nicole. It was a brief meeting, but I was there with my daughter, Grace. I am Grace's mom, Tamara.
I wanted to offer my sincere condolences to you and your family. I just learned that the angels had come for Jack this weekend. Although we met only once for a brief moment, I felt such sadness when I heard. Our daughter, Grace, went with the angels on Valentine's Day of this year. I am sure that Grace and Jack are flying high and free, but I also understand your grief and feelings of complete despair. I just wanted to reach out to you.....I just got finished visiting your website. Jack is a beautiful child.
Please feel free to visit our website....www.carepages.com. Grace's carepage name is theponyprincess.
If you ever want to contact me, please feel free. I know that we do not know each other, but we share a commonality. Please know that I will pray for your entire family."

"Hi. I heard about your son through a friend whose child also has GBM and have been following your story. I just checked today and saw your sad news. We're praying for comfort for your sad hearts."

"Dear parents of Jack,
I just wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved son. After reading about his story, I can see that you did everything in your power to battle the wicked monster known as GBM that was inside Jack's brain.
You see, I can relate to every step of his journey because my 58 yr. old husband passed away on March 1 of this year of the same disease. He was diagnosed in Jan. 06, just 7 short months after he retired. We both fought like hell to keep him alive. Dave's tumor was located on the right temporal lobe of his brain and closer to the skull area, which is a "safer" spot than the center, as was Jack's. We were very fortunate to live in the Pittsburgh area where he was treated. We spent over a year and a half at Hillman Cancer Center making endless trips for chemo treatments, a vaccine trial in which his own red blood cells were used to develop the vaccine, the combination CPT11/Avastin chemo and two additional clinical trials. Two of his 3 surgeries were performed at Presby., while the first was performed at Mercy where emergency surgery saved his life. While Dave never suffered any seizures or speech impediments, he lost all movement of his left extremities after his last surgery. This resulted in placing him in a nursing facility the last several months of his life.
Like Jack, Dave never complained about his illness and always kept a positive attitude, even during the last few days. I am grateful that he is now cancer-free and living with our Lord for eternity. I pray that you are also comforted by the these same thoughts. Please know that you are not alone and that countless others have been in your shoes. In addition to the loss of my husband, I lost my infant son over 25 years ago to congenital heart disease and can relate to the pain and sadness you are dealing with right now. The grief support group I have joined is helping tremendously. I am leaning on my daughters, close friends, and family to help me cope with this tremendous loss I have suffered. Jack sounded like such a remarkable human being - never let go of the happy times you had with him. I will forever cling to the cherished memories I and my children had with my husband over the many years we had together. Like my husband Dave, Jack is our hero and someone to be looked up to and admired for fighting such a courageous battle.
God Bless you and your family,"
