Karen and Doug, There are no words to describe how sorry I am that you lost Jake. Although I haven't seen Jake since he was a little guy...I will always remember him as being my youngest waiter. He was probably about 4 or 5 years old and he would ask everyone in the room if he could take their order...then pretend to write it all down. Soooo precious. I wish there were something I could do to help ease your pain. Please know that I've prayed for you since I first learned of Jake's passing. My heart goes out to Jake's wife and children. God be with you and give you comfort. Memo

Dear Karen and Doug,

Since we became grandparents ourselves a few years ago, we can just imagine how devastating your loss is to you two and to the grandparents, as well as to Jake's wife and daughter. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jake, I will forever remember you. You were a very genuine, kind and loving friend. I have a special place in my heart for you and always will.
You're probably the only guy who actually like my obnoxious bows I wear in my hair and you gave me a second chance on a friendship when your first impression of me wasn't all that great. I will love you forever and think of you often... keep Des and your babies safe, Doodle.
