Barb and Jack meant so much to me and my family. They were always lots of fun, as was Jack's mom, Helen. I will always remember them fondly.

John, Donna, Gabrielle and Raymond, you are all in my thought and prayers.

Jack DiBona was a fine friend to many at Massachusetts General Hospital. As a volunteer for many years, he was always ready to leap to the aid of anyone in need of a wheelchair, directions, or an encouraging smile. Seeing him coming down the corridor in his pink jacket was always a pleasure for both friend and stranger.
