Jack Sumner

November 18, 2018

On his 8th birthday, November 18, 2018, our beloved son, Jack Sumner went to be with Jesus. He is profoundly missed by his mommy and daddy, two sisters, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. His burial will take place at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, November 24, 2018, at Pond Mills Cemetery, Pond Mills Road, London, Ontario. All are welcome, but parking is limited within the cemetery and will be reserved for immediate family. An informal drop-in visitation will take place from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at Trinity Place, 570 Gainsborough Road, London. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Jack, are asked to consider donating to Emily’s House children’s hospice, where Jack received such loving care for the last nine months.

I know that your heart is aching over the loss of your dear child. It must truly be an extremely difficult time for you all. There is little that I can say or do to ease your pain and suffering. However, may knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, bring a measure of comfort. Life is so short and those we love are gone from our lives too quickly. God's promise to empty the grave in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14. Also Acts 24:15 is reassuring stating, ... " there is going to be a resurrection..." May knowing this ease your pain and give you strength and comfort in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.

I absolutely love you all and we wish you the utmost strength and peace in your hearts at this time and always. But what I know, is that if anyone understands the nature of lifes cycle, whether short or long, it is your most precious family, including Jack. Jack knows our Lord well and that gives me such peace as hurtful as this human experience can be. I am definitely going to donate to Emilys house in honour of Jack and Ayden. Much much love and big hugs. Mich and Don

Emily, Nate, Liv & Kaelin I thank the lord above for letting us cross paths. If it wasn't for him we would never be the greatest support from one family to another. I am so sorry that this happened to both of our sons but what I do know is they are both free together watching over both of our families. Jack was an amazing little boy with a heart of Gold and it was a complete honour being around you guys the last months of both of our boys lives. My family and I love you guys so much and we will get through this together! Love you guys.
