Aunt Betty, Gary, Linda, Diane, Mark, and Craig
I am so sorry about the passing of Uncle Jake! He always impressed me when I saw him and Betty out because he would always open the door for her like a gentleman! I will always remember going out on Shoal Bay skiing and having BBQ's at your house by the lake. He was a great man. He has lots of family to go fishing with in heaven. I'm sure him and dad are trying to outfish each other! Love all of you! God bless you all!!!
