Today you could ask me how many peices my heart has been broken in to from this event, my answer is for you to look up at the night sky and count the stars.

Jake,
I loved you like a brother. You brought joy to people's lives. You gave the best hugs and had a smile that could kill. You did stupid things in your life, always doing things without thinking, but you alway got a second chance to fix it. Now this time you dont have that second chance to fix things. So many stones were left unturned, so much life was left unlived. But you were such a good friend and and great son to your parents. Everyone who ever knew you will alway hold you close to their hearts, expesally the children you helped.
I saw the place it happened. I saw the gun you used. And I know this was no accident. The moment you pulled that triger and that slug entered your right jugular and up through the top of your precious head and into the ceiling, you took what was given to as a gift, you had no right to do this. There are so many tears and so much sorrow. It kills me to even think that someone as happy and loving as you could do this to your self.

I will pray for you Jake. And think of you every day. You will always have a special place in my heart.

I Love You JaMiWo
