Jake, its been over a year now since you've gone. This was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. So many tears have been shed. Instead of crying tears of sadness, from thinking of the memories I can no longer get from being with you. I would rather cry tears of happiness from the very wonderful memories we have shared. I still can't believe your gone. I miss you so much. I miss your random visits, I miss talking to you till 2 in the morning, I miss watching movies with you, I miss playing make me laugh, I miss your laugh, your smile, and the over all you. You were always a great friend and I will always hold that in my heart. all I could ever hope for is to one day see you again. I miss you, we all miss you.
