Jake, you were taken too soon, and you will be dearly missed. I remember being in Heaven Can Wait with you in Junior High. That was so fun! I remember all the times teasing you and being teased by you...all in good fun. I'm sure you are at peace now. Thanks for your fun spirit and full life. Love you!
Love, Amber Pratt
