Sharon and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I never met your Dad but I know how much you loved him and did for him. I know how you feel as I have lost both of my parents and it is never easy. Keep him always in your heart with the memories you have. You have an angel watching over you now.

The Good Lord blessed me with great uncles to pattern my life after when I was a young boy and Uncle Jake was one of the best. Our prayers go out to the family in their time of grief. We love you all. Roger and Mary Baker.
