Big John, Doreen and Isabelle, We were away when we learned about Jack. No parent should have to say good bye to their child and no parent should be getting notes like this from their friends. We are so sorry. Please know that our hearts are broken with the news of your loss. We will remember all of the Jardin's in our prayers!
Regards,
Jack, Wendy and the Troy Family

Dear John, Doreen and Isabelle,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your son, brother Jack.
He was just an infant when John started working at The Boston Globe, but I remember then what a beautiful child he was and can see now that he was a very special young man. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Dear John, Doreen, Isabelle, and Family,

Words can not describe how much sorrow we feel for your family, and within our hearts. Jack was an amazing young man who could light up any soul, or any room, with his amazing pesonality and smile.
When Jack and my son went through school together, I was lucky to be able to witness his extreme kindness to all within his company at all times. Jack was a very unique person in mind, body, and sole and will be missed by all who crossed his path. He left his amazing mark on his life through his kindness, amazing personality, and incredible smile he always wore upon his face.
His spirit will be with you always. No words can describe the pain of his loss to your family and friends. Please know he has been in, and will continue, to remain in our hearts, prayers, and thoughts, as will you all.

With Saddened Condolences,
Geoffrey, Connor, and Cassandra Coté

Mr. and Mrs. Jardin and Isabelle, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jack's passing. Life is just not fair. Growing up in the same neighborhood as young kids, I remember how nice he was to everyone. Even though I was not in Westwood schools, he was somewhat of a legend for his filmmaking skills. I am traveling abroad so I not will not be able to pay my respects in person. I send my deepest sympathies to your family in this time of grief.

Dear Doreen,
My thoughts are with you and your family as you mourn the loss of your beautiful son.

Looking at Jack's smile reminds me of you in high school and how warm and friendly you were to everyone. I'm sure Jack inherited those traits from you, too.

Dearest Doreen and John and Isabelle, My heart just stopped when I realized you lost your wonderful son. I didn't know him, but in reading the comments made about him, I am sure he made you very proud as he touched the hearts of so many. Imagine the power of this young man's smile and spirit that his hair stylist commented here, that classmates and even strangers were touched by him and his life. That your remarkable young man will live on in the memories of you and others cannot ease the pain, I know. But I hope knowing that you have so many friends, family and strangers sending their love to you will in time help to lessen the loneliness. My love and prayers for you all. Alison Colby-Campbell

Dear Doreen and John Jardin and family,

As parents of two children, we grieve with you and we keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We and others experience great sadness knowing that Jack's young life has been lost, and that your family is suffering. Hopefully our sympathy and concern provides you with some solace.

Dear John and Doreen, I am so sorry for your loss. I know words cannot express what you are going through. My Godson, and my nephew Scott, was killed in a car crash when he was 26. We had to learn to celebrate his very short lived life. We learned that some people are given to us for very short periods of time and we had to learn to celebrate that time. This may not be very comforting at this time but hopefully in time, you will realize he was a gift and while he was here, he contributed and lived a very full life.

There simply are not enough words nor expressions to adequately convey how special Jack was to all whose presence he has graced. I was his TMS Guidance Counselor and Jack was the youngster that accepted his peers as his equals-- with respect and dignity for each and every one, male and female, popular and not. His kindness was matched only by hs integrity, talent, humor, and savvy. As a mother I feel such pain and anger by his untimely death; but I am so thankful that his too short a life had such a positive impact for so many. I have heard from many of his former classmates...and for each and every one Jack will occupy a special place int their hearts forever as he will indeed in mine.

With my deepest sympathy,
Deena Frio

You do not know me... I am a friend of April Allegrezza.
My heart feels compressed with sorrow over the passing of your beautiful son.
No human being comprehends the grievous sorrow of losing a child...and not one of us will understand until we ourselves pass on.
I am praying for you now. And promise to keep doing so.

I had the privilege of knowing Jack. I cut his hair from middle school years through the start of his college years. Always was such a down to earth, amazing young man. Very sad to hear of his passing. I'll be thinking of the Jardin family during this extremely difficult time. Rest in the sweetest peace.
