Chris,
Good to see you post. I had to come straight here because no one I know really knows Jake. I cried to my fiance, he knew who Jake was and that he was a veryclose friend, but it isn't the same as hearing from people who knew him. I really wanted to see you post and I am glad you did. Thank you a million timesover for the pictures you posted. The one of you pouring booze on his would sums him up so much to me. He was such a wild person with a heart of gold. I wasalways so worried about his health and really up his !*+ about making sure he kept up with his appointment for his various conditions, but I truly imagined himbeing my friend for a very long time. Finally, he gets to see him mother again and I'm sure she was waiting with open arms, she most likely got tired ofwaiting ten years for company and called on him herself. I wish I could make it Tuesday but I'll be in tough with his dad before then. Anyways, I amrambling now.
RIP old, dear friend, how hard it is to find ones as true as you.
