While not a very close friend of Jake I knew he and his immediate family well. Had the pleasure of attending school with him and his attractive sister Barbara Jean and on two occasions quail hunted and crappie fished with Jake. His father, Jim, did carpentry work for my father. I will miss his engaging smile.
My condolences to the family. Though the sting of death is very painful, know that God (Psalms 83:13) promises to remove that sting of death forever. He also promises to resurrect our dead loved ones back to life in the near future. May this message of hope comfort all of you during this difficult times. (Isaiah 25:8; Acts 24:15).
