Jake, ill never forget the friendship we shared with each other, along with all the good and crazy times we have had together, your more of a brother than a friend. I love you man, see you on the other side

You've just walked on ahead of me
And I've got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I'm missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you've walked on ahead on me
Don't worry I'll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
Love, Mom
