Oh Jake......

Early Wednesday morning Jake passed away.

He was our smallest baby but he was our biggest fighter. Jake was also the biggest troublemaker. He was always keeping the nurses on their toes. And his brothers would follow his lead. He was the first to pull out his breathing tube. When Jake got switched over to a high-frequency oscillator ventilator, his brothers followed suit.
He also started this whole ball of wax rolling. When the doctor examined Christine she felt Jake's knee and that was the tipping point that resulted in a C-section.

Mommy and Daddy love you Jake.
We will miss you forever.
Goodbye

    A part of three that you were , You came to us one day

    Now the 2 are left behind , Minus one they say

    You were strong enough and fought your best to stay within the 3

    God had chosen and said aloud , Jake is coming with me

    We love you now as we always will , no matter our great pain

    For we all know that one time soon we will all be together again !

  7. Jake, we don’t know why, but for our liking you were in too great a hurry to enter this world and far greater to leave.

    We are sorrowful, but if we look to our heart, we shall see that in truth we are weeping for that which has brought us delight.

    Although too brief , we thank you for bringing so much delight to all those around you.

    Rick and Lynda Newell
