Not sure what to say?

I just heard the sad news. Jake recruited me to the Division of Neonatalogy in 1993, right out of fellowship. He was a wonderful mentor and a wise and kind man. He cared deeply about his staff. I remember the holiday parties he through at his house with his lovely wife Jeanette.

Love to you Nette. He was such a handsome man and offered so much to the world. Your write up was well done. I´m thinking of you and family today.

Jeanette, Nathan, Becky and families, Our deepest sympathies to you all. So sorry to hear of the passing of my dear uncle and godfather. May your memories help give you peace and joy as you work through your grief. Know that you have so many praying for your comfort and are here for you always. We love you all, Pam and family
