The months leading up to March 8, 2012 was a trying time in the lives of so many love ones in our family. A beautiful, sweet wife and sweetheart of Jess, four daughters and two sons, and all other family members who was close to Jess, could see daily, how much pain was in Jess's life because his inability to get out of the house and take Shirley for a walk in the mall or go to fun places they always enjoyed together. They were sweethearts to the end for sure! I can remember back in the days when they were both in prime condition, even then, they liked to hold hands when out for a walk. I know back when Shirley was in the hospital in a coma, Jess would say to me, "I don't know what I'll do if I lose her." Life want be the same! I have seen over the years that this family has been a special, loving and supporting family at all times. I don't need to call names, but all the sons and daughters have shown their love for Jess and Shirley on a daily basis. Jess told me many times how much God had blessed him over the years, in his prayers being answered for God to guide his and Shirley's children, and to watch over and guide Steve and Pam through their daily lives. These last few weeks of going to the VA hospital with Jess and making sure that Shirley's needs were met, made me very proud of all you guys. You did well, and showed so much love for your parents. Carrie and I are proud and we love all of you very much. Uncle Jake Our Beautiful Daughters

Take Care & God Bless
Uncle Jake,
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome letter to us. Made me cry. We love you and Aunt Carrie very much. You both have always made us feel loved and always made us feel like family. Thank you both for that.
We were truly blessed to have Mother and Daddy as our parents. I thank God a lot for that.
I miss Daddy so much already. I know the pain will ease and I will learn to tolerate it but it will never totally go away. I miss calling him on my way home from work. I feel lost. I went back to work yesterday afternoon and on the way home I picked up my phone to call him. Wonder how many times I will do that before I realize that I will never get to talk to him on the phone again.
We do have lots of great memories! He was the best Dad ever (besides you)!
Love you both!
Sheila
Dear Jake and Carrie,

You have always been a special part of their lives and have always showed how much you care for them. What a special brother you have been to Daddy. I love and miss him daily. Mother is really having a time of it. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.
