My sympathies to Sharon and Roger. I enjoyed keeping in touch with Jack on Facebook the past few years. He was a special cousin and remembered fondly during my childhood. I am grateful to his kindness to my mother Anne [ Aunt Annie] Bjork Thomas and his love for our Grandmother. Uncle Ben and Aunt Lena were always kind to me. I so enjoyed visiting their home on Atwood Terrace as a child. My mother;s family were always dear to her. Jack is no longer suffering and although Sharon especially will miss him, all who knew him will always carry him in their hearts. Sharon, my prayers are with you and Roger and your family. Blessing to you, you cousin Joanne Thomas Ellis
