Sherry, I just heard about your father. I knew I hadn’t seen him out lately. He was a very nice man. I often stopped to talk with him while walking my Yorkie. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Many prayers for Jake’s family. Jake was such a great neighbor to me and my brother Teddy. He went out of his way to help people in the neighborhood and he could fix just about anything. But mainly he was simply a very nice person and good friend to many. He will be missed. Lord, please take very good care of our friend Jake. He deserves a special place in heaven.
