Dear Griffin Family ,
May God give you comfort in your time of sorrow. Jake was a true inspiration to many and touch so many lives in a positive way. He was more than a friend to Tim he was like a second dad. He is surely in Heaven now and we are all better for having known him. Love, Tim and JoEllen Gordon
