Marilyn, I am so saddened to hear about your loss. It has been a long time since I have seen Jake, but I can still see him just as clear now as the day he walked through my 6th grade classroom door. That is how I will always remember him; a happy, go-lucky kid who always brought a smile to all of our faces at Manchester Middle. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and ask that you will be given peace in your souls to know that Jake has arrived in the best destination.

Dear Marilyn, You are in my thoughts and prayers. How devastating this must be for you now and in the days to come. There is nothing anyone can do or say to make it better, but at least you know that so many of us are willing. Call me any time day or night if you want to talk. Much love, Karen

Dear Marilyn,
Jake was a GREAT kid--that's when I knew him in middle school at Manchester Middle , I was one of the teachers who worked with him. Jake had a heart of gold and a wonderful loving spirit. I know he has found the Peace/Love/Joy of Jesus. Jake will be greatly missed. I have been BLESSED to have know Jake. He used to ask me to bring him fishing magazines and I did! Godspeed Jake and I know the journey you are on will be filled with ANGELS! Jake, you will be missed by many but we will find comfort in knowing YOU have arrived in the OPEN-LOVING arms of JESUS!
