The family met again Sept. 16, to celebrate Jack’s birthday and plan for the next party.
On Sept. 23, family and friends again gathered at The Church of the Holy Trinity for the final celebration. A presentation was read confirming what all the siblings felt, “We had a great childhood with wonderful, caring and loving parents.”
