I met Jake through his mom and my friend, Jen. Jake would often Facetime with Jen at work and I always made sure to pop my head in to their call to say hi to Jakie. I’ll never forget the sound of his deep voice saying “Hi Mel!” He was such a flirt and would often tell me how cute I looked that day LOL. 🙂 I felt a closeness to Jake through my friendship with his wonderful mother. Their love for each other was palpable and one of the sweetest loves I’ve ever seen. I feel lucky to have witnessed their bond and to have known a young man who was so full of love and life. RIP Jakie. One day I’ll hear you say “Hi Mel!” again. Until then, your memory will live on forever. – Mel <3
