There are not enough words or pages of a book, to write how greatly you are missed, Jake. Your hearty laughter, your giant hugs, your caring sprit, your contagious smile, replays in each of our hearts that love you so very much. “Jake, you are my best friend and business partner. I do not begin to know how I will ever live without you! Enjoy your new home in heaven, where you are free from pain and sickness and reunited with your loving brother Jonathan! My saving grace is that I will one day be reunited with you, son!” Jacob, your life has brought our family together and even closer in these past months.
