Peace has come

Dear Family and Friends, 

It is with a sad heart that I must tell you... it is done.  Jack passed this morning just before 6am.  
He went very peacefully in his sleep, his hand in mine.  He used to go for a walk with dear friends every morning at 6, so I figured he wanted to catch that final walk with them.  Now I believe he is finishing his walk on the trail.  

We don't have arrangements yet for his celebration of life and love.  I will update when we have all that arranged.  

With love and thankfulness to have found this man and have been able to spend the time together with him, I leave you now with a few pictures of him on his favorite trail... the AT.   And the opening quote from his favorite Christmas movie we watched together Friday night... "Love Actually".

Love always
Helen
    










"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." - Opening statement - "Love Actually"

We may say... "There goes Jack"... But on the other side of the trail there are those who are saying... " Here comes Jack..."

Thinking of you Helen...

Dear Helen,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Jack was one of the kindest, most nderstanding and fun person I knew for over 20 years.
Will miss him so much.
We will see you at the celebration of his life.
Love you, Merrie Dyszelski
