I wanted to let everyone who knew my faithful companion, Jack, know that he died on Tuesday afternoon (November 27, 2007) at the age of 15. Jack had been with me since before I knew Jason or had Ben... before I graduated from college, before I became a nurse, before I moved to Texas. He was perhaps my oldest friend, and certainly had stood by me through the many joys and challenges of my life like only a beloved pet can. He will be very missed by our family.
