I am so sorry to hear that Jake passed away. I will never forget the time he spent with us when we were kids (Gertrude also). I will always remember buying Jessie's old Ford convertible and having the brakes go out on me on the way to school and having to have lots of guys jump on the sides of the car to stop it. My deep felt sympathy to all the family.

I would like to pass along my and Pat's prayers and thoughts at this time. Bro. Jake was a blessing to me so many times. I remember how many times he helped to "patch" my old cars together. What a blessing it was. I always appreciated his kind words and encouraging words to me all those years at Central. I pray the Lord will give you grace for the days ahead.
