Jack is also survived, loved and missed greatly by a large extended family and many, many friends who excitedly anticipated his arrival, and his dog Katie.

Jack is predeceased and was greeted in heaven by his grandmother Mary D. Hunter and grandfather James H. Green.

 While he was with us, "Baby Jack" enjoyed being loved and cuddled by his family, listening to his lullabies, being read to by mommy and stealing the hearts of those who met him. We were truly blessed and honored to have had the time with him we did.

We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Maine Medical Center's NICU for lovingly caring for Jack and his parents during this difficult time. They are truly angels on earth. We would also like to thank our friends and family for their love and support.

 In lieu of flowers, we ask donations be made in Jack's memory to the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital or The Animal Refuge League of Westbrook.

 A private memorial service will be held at a date to be determined. Arrangements are by Jones Rich & Hutchins Funeral Home, Portland.

Poem for Jack written by his godmother, Jill Duson

You are very, very special

Have been so from the start

We held you in our arms

But mainly in our hearts

And like a single drop of rain

That on still waters fall,

Your life has tiny ripples made

And touched the lives of all

No matter what the outcome

With you our Christmas Child

Each moment is so precious

And remembered with a smile

As we pray to tiny angels

In heaven up above

Time here with you was special

And we treasure it with love
