Jack's Battle

June 2, 2008, 5:39 pm

     Christian Sundberg, Jack's brother says, "This is a story about good things that happen and a lot of people really stepped up and showed what they were made of."

     Many people in the community, and beyond, gave of themselves to help in Jack's battle.  Christian says, "That's not something you can say for a lot of situations and a lot of stories. When someone dies, at the end it seems bitter and sad and forever but in fact we have been shown something amazing.  We've been shown the generosity and the love that is in the hearts of very very many common people."

     The community poured their heart out to the 3 year old and his family.  Christian says people "Offered their financial support, support of time, their best wishes and their prayers. People who don't know us. Many many people who don't know us and it really speaks to the goodness in humanity."

     Jack suffered with a glioblastoma multiforme A tumor.  Christian says, "He went through real hardship but he never complained.  If you ever asked him how he was doing he would say 'Oh, I'm doing good' or 'I'm happy' but clearly he was not doing well. Clearly what he's dealing with is a major obstacle, a major disease. It was terminal cancer and he didn't understand."

     Through radiation and chemotherapy Jack wore his best smile, something that family and friends will never forget.  Christian says, "He won his battle. He got his peace. That's something amazing.  Something none of us should forget."
