So sorry to hear of Jake's passing. I will always have great memories of him.
May the road rise up to meet him
May the wind be always at his back
May the sun shine warm upon his face
The rains fall soft upon his fields
And until we meet again ( and we will )
May God hold him in the hollow of his hands.

Dear Uncle Jake,
You were so much fun to be with. I love you to bits and will miss your laughter and our fun times together. I expect you will pick me up at heaven's gate in a limo when the time comes, just as you did for my wedding. Until we meet again, God bless you. May his light shine upon you and Auntie Elsie and give you peace.
Love,
Karen with hugs from Mihran, Hasmig and Ani, too
