I loved Jake very much, I have lots of wonderful memories one being when I bought my Dachshund puppy. Jake was holding him and the puppy (Harley) was sleeping in Jakes lap, I went to pic my puppy up and Jake said “ don't you know puppies bond while they are sleeping” ? And Jake, Joyce and I all started laughing. I love you Make and you will forever hold a place in my heart! ❤️
