JAKE'S STORY

I loved you the minute I knew I was pregnant. I loved you the minute you were born. Then I saw your face and fell in love some more. You were only a minute old but I knew I would die for you & to this day I still would. When you choose to have a child you make a conscious decision to allow your heart to walk around outside your body. Then if something happens to that child and you have to bury him a part of you dies with him

Jake was my youngest son who was killed on June 17, 2010. He was 40 years old but still "my baby". Left to tell his story are Mollye and Mike, Jake's mom and step-father; Skip and Jill, his dad and step-mother; his two sisters Lori and Shari, and his brother Buddy.

I hope you will get to know Jake as a person and what an awesome person he was. My wish is that you might leave here feeling just a bit more blessed from reading our memories of Jake our son, our brother and our friend.

The purpose aside from paying tribute to Jake is to honor those who were a part of Jake's life. Friends he loved and friends who loved him and who loved us through our heartbreak. I especially acknowledge in love Jake's Home Depot Family.

Thank You For Visiting Jake's Story and God Bless You, mizmollye

My Boy

I thought of you today,

but that is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday

And will tomorrow, too. I think of you in silence

And make no outward show

for what it meant to lose you

Only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy,

I do it everyday.

It's the heartache of losing

you that will never go away.
I Will Love You Always,
Momma

    I have you in my thoughts and prayers, Mollye. Today is my grandson, Logan's, birthday. We lost him 4 years ago and it has been very hard for my daughter to make it through the day. Those of us who have lost a child, I believe have a special bond, for no one could possibly understand our pain unless they have experienced it. It has been 25 years since I lost one of my own and it changes who we are forever. Take care of yourself, my friend!

    Bless your heart Mollye. I can't even imagine your pain. It is easy to give comforting words and to tell you that his memory will never die but I am sure you die inside a little everyday when those memories come.

    Just try to find comfort in that he is with Jesus and waiting for you when the day comes.

    My heart aches for you sweet Mollye.
    Big gentle hugs my friend and Sister
