    We are so sorry for your loss. Baby Jake was really special. I will never forget the way he stared at me with those big blue eyes when I got to hold him at just a couple weeks old. He was so content to be passed around at MOPS and we all enjoyed your cute stories, especially how Ben would say “where’s my baby” in his funny voice. He will be missed!
