To the entire Brouwer family,
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I will always have a special place in my heart for Jake, I loved his sense of humour and his ability to say what he thought.He made me laugh and smile. He will be deeply missed. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during your time of need. I am glad that he is no longer suffering and is watching us from above. love, correne and jean-francois.
