I will always have loving memories of all the Sunday dinners at Nanny's, breakfasts at McLean's, and especially EVERY holiday picnic and dinner Uncle Jake so looked forward to at Mama's house. He was a true Southern gentleman and a loving uncle. We will miss him greatly.

Jake will be very much missed by his many friends at Meadow Glen, especially his dining room table-mates, Thomas and Lindy Ragland. Prayers for the family, who we watched take the very best care of him during the two years we've been at Meadow Glen. Mary Clark, niece of Thomas and Lindy, Richmond.
