    Gail, Shelly, Josh, Amanda and Family We are so sorry to hear about Jake. I remember him as being such a happy "kid", who always had a smile on his face and did what he could to make others smile, too. I can remember him as a toddler "taking care" of Holly, and continued to do so until the day we left. He was a great kid, and will be missed by many. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers, and take comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place where there is no sadness and no pain. He is with his Holy Father now, and will be watching down on you............. Brian, Janet, Holly, Valaree, and Nicklaus

  14. Jules (Breitkreutz) Spickelmier
    Shelly, Gail & family, My heart just broke when I heard of your sudden loss. I first remembered when we were at the Daberkow reunion & 3 of us were pregnant at the same time, you, Beth, & I. Then I thought of how much you must be going through with the loss of your baby. It is unimaginable. Then I thought of what joy he must be experiencing being in heaven with Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I hope that knowing that he is in heaven with God & with his grandparents will help to bring you comfort. You all will be in my thoughts & prayers. Jules , Dennis, Will, & Annastazya

    I didn't know Jake for very long, but I knew from the moment I met him, that he was firey, funny, and ready to take on the world. He was creative and liked to express himself with his unique style and carefree attitude. Though I only knew him for a short while, Jake impacted my life. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be terribly missed.

    Offering my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort and hope in the Bible's promise, "Your dead ones will live. . . . They will rise up." --Isaiah 26:19. We are with you in looking forward to God's promise to undo the effects of death and even do away with death itself, as Revelation 21:3, 4 promises. What a wonderful hope is presented in God's Word. . . being able to live right here on earth in paradisaic conditions with our loved ones beside us. --Psalms 37:29. It is our hope that these scriptures along with the support of friends and family will comfort you during this time of loss.
