Close followers of Sunshine and Moonlight will certainly remember reading the story of Little Jack Sunberg, a Northwestern Pennsylvania boy who at age three has been battling Glioblastoma Multiforme for a number of months now. The following is a message from Craig and Megan Sunberg, posted today, on their website Jack’s Battle. Please keep this special family in your thoughts and prayers.
On June 1st 2008, at approximately 6:20 AM, Jack won his battle as he passed from this life into the care of our Loving God. After a valiant fight through the night Jack finally allowed himself to be at peace. Up until his final moments on Earth, Jack taught us all the unbreakable power of love and the tenacity of the human spirit. Many mourn that someone so young had to go through what Jack did. But as one close friend put it, “Jack lived a TON of life in three years.” Truly, he did – and he touched more people in his short life than many aged people do. We give thanks to the Father that he now lives without cancer or pain in a care beyond our understanding.
The prayers of countless people around the world have been felt sincerely by all of us. Everyone who has followed Jack’s story and supported us so faithfully has been a testament to the inherent goodness in humanity. We are thankful that we have had the opportunity to be shown it.
Jack has been a blessing to all of us. We know that at this very moment he is enjoying a new and wonderful existence, one which he truly deserves. We must remember this as we mourn! The miracle is that against all understanding, God loves us and by His grace we need not fear death.
The miracle is that death had no chance against Jack. The miracle is that right now Jack lives on, healthy and fulfilled, in Heaven. That is no less than the perfect victory to Jack’s battle. With love, peace, and thanks to all of you and thanks foremost to our Almighty God.
God Bless You Little Jack Sundburg
