Kelly, we mourn alongside you, though we are not able to imagine the loss and sorrow you are experiencing at the passing of your beloved Jake. The way you spoke of Jake consistently bore testimony of your love for him. When you shared, both your words and your eyes would affirm that soulful commitment which surely encouraged, defended and rejoiced with him through the dynamics of life. May your heart be protected, and healed, as you contend with the emptiness that this sudden loss has brought. Dillon, though we have not met you, we do pray that the special place you hold in your heart for Jake would be preserved. Hold onto the cherished memories, may they never fade but rather inspire you to become stronger in the months and years to come. Kellly, don''t ever think that Ralph and I wouldn''t love to hear more stories of Jake, in your time. Meanwhile, may the peace of God guard your heart and mind, in Christ Jesus.
