Growing up, Uncle Jake and Aunt Clara always held a special place in our thoughts and conversations, still do and always will. They were special people and I loved Uncle Jake's sense of humor. May God bless and keep you through this time.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.I want to send you my sympathy's. I know it can be hard to find comfort at a time like this.That's why I wanted to share something that I found to be comforting.It's the hope held out to us by Jehovah God in the Bible at John 5:28,29.I hope it brings you the same comfort it brings me.
