Dion--- I am so so sad. The final chapter of a great legacy. Years ago I told Jack I was unexpectedly pregnant with Nick (we had started the clinic only a few short months before). The next time he came to clinic he handed me a card with a cartoon pregnant rat on the front. Inside it said "Rats!". I loved his sense of humor and working with him. I was so green and he was so patient with me.
Holding you in my heart.
