We talked with Tally last night, and she seemed do be doing ok (if you consider what she’s gone through).
Consider this very unofficial from Ron, NOT Tally: There will be a memorial service honoring Jack later in July. As I hear of the plans, I’ll post them here and send out an email to all the addresses I have, unless Tally does it before I do.
While she’s not looking at the blog for awhile, any comment you post there will go to her email. But since we know that she’s kept/keeping a memorial book, and email can be lost in the blink of an electron, it might be nice to send a paper copy of any condolences in place or in addition to any blog or email entries. I know she’d want them to add to a memory book that she can review at a less hectic pace. If you post them as comments to the blog, they will be included when I print it.
She asked about printing the blog, and I’ll do that for her later. For the geeky: Rather than just hit print and burn thousands of pages, I’ll copy/paste the words/pics into a word file and print that for her.
Many of you, especially the counselors know this, but Tally has shared with us that she was willing and able to present Jack’s condition with us (I often didn’t see how she could do it) because she knew how many people Jack had touched. She wanted all of US to be able to “be with” Jack during this journey.
Now, it will be Tally that needs our focus. I hope we can continue to support and lift her up as she did for us. I have great confidence in all of us to be able to do that. You people are special!
The blog site will be up until we close it, or google crashes, or something. I made a trip blog in 2007, and although no entries have been made for a year, it’s still there.
Again, we thank you for all your care of Tally and Jack.
God Bless You All!
Ron and Chari

Tally-
There are no words that can describe what your feeling right now. Loosing a loved one is the hardest thing that can happen to a person. Please know that your loved by all of Jack's friends and past co-workers. Were all here for you, all you need to do is ask and one of us will step up and do whatever you need done.
Jack touched so many lives! Your such a wonderful lady and I'm sorry that I didn't get to know you better, but there is still time for that when things calm down. I'm so glad that I was able to bring a little joy into your life (when Jack told me about your love for John Ebners painting and such.) Whenever John would contact me about one of his art shows I would let Jack know about it,that way if you both had the time you could go to it and talk with John (he's such a down to earth person) anyway I don't know if you ever went or not.
Anyway if there is anything that you need please let me know. Jack knew that I went through this with my dad, it was one of the things that brought us closer together. That and Jacks dirty jokes! Please take care and be good to yourself, don't rush into anything.
Your in our hearts and prayers, just ask and we'll be there.
