I felt it was time for me to share some of the pictures from Jack's funeral and Christina's birthday that was just yesterday. Please don't get upset, pictures are a wonderful memory and we want to continue to share our life with all of you. You have all been a big part of our lives for such a long time and we will try to continue to blog. Of course we won't be blogging daily, but we will write when we have something to talk about. I haven't asked in some time, but please continue to keep ALL of our NEMO families in your prayers. We have a couple of boys still recovering from transplant as well as some waiting on transplants and all of which who need our prayers. We miss everyone writing in comments, so please write to us. God Bless and enjoy the pictures.
Yesterday was Christina's 9th Birthday!!!! (The cake was a "Peanut Butter Bomb", which Christina begged me to make for her. It was filled with Chocolate, Vanilla and Peanut Butter Ice Cream, Pound cake, Peanut Butter Cups and Jelly, mmmmm good!!!)
This was Jack's Firetruck! This was the truck that was Christened by Jack and began his career as an "Honorable Fairfield Firefighter". Here the truck is outside the funeral home at Jack's funeral.
These trucks were also outside the funeral home.
Another one of Jack's favorites, the Pumper, with the funeral banner on back.
This Hummer from the Wayne Fire Department was brought by our friend Ed Laskowski who promised Jack he would one day take him for a ride in, as Jack would call it "the Bummer". Thank you so much Edward!

Jack's final ride to the cemetary. A true honorable funeral to "Our Hero!" HE WAS A REAL FIREFIGHTER!!!!!!!
The day after Jack's Funeral, the "Fantastic Fairfield Fire Department" remembers Jack.
Now Brace Yourselves, this is Jack's Headstone!!!

As always, thank you for always keeping us in your prayers. We are so greatful to have all of you and hope you continue to check in on us. We are moving along, day by day. We miss our Jack, but he is better now, no more suffering, no more pain and no more rides the hospital.
Our dear little "Bug", we miss and love you so much! We think about you every day and know that you have no more pain. Your the best, Baby!, Our Hero!!! Love you Always and Forever!
Love, Mommy, Daddy and Christina!
Our LIttle Goofball!

We hear updates about you from Reed and Barbara, and I do read the blog to keep up to date with a family I feel I have come to know. Happy Birthday, Christina! We'll have to get together at some point when you are all in Galway visiting. The photos were touching, loving, and wonderful for you to share. Suzanne

He will never be forgotten, and you did him proud with the gorgeous headstone. We miss seeing him at the pharmacy all the time, but his memory will always be there!

Char,
Thanks for sharing that pics. I actually visited Jack last week. We had time before we met another couple at Charlie Browns and we parked across the street and went to see him. My love to you and your family!
