Dear Thea,
Art and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Jake's passing. We fondly remember him greeting us at the Legion as the beauty and the beast. He had a great sense of humour. We all will miss him.

Thought you would like this video. It's just a song about how God will never leave us. I don't go to church myself but a friend introduced me to this song and it moves me to tears. He will never leave you in this time of need or ever. Take care Thea and family.

I am so sorry. I am from 1103F. I hope you got my card and gift. I am still praying for you daily and tears fell as I prayed the first night. It hit so close to home and I couldn't imagine losing someone. I saw him walking his dog everyday. He was such a nice man.
