That was the best funeral service I have been to in a very, very long time! I got to know and respect Jake at Elim in the 1960s. I always looked up to him as a model of Christian faithfulness. Everything that was said about Jake rang so true to me! I recognize that our personalities are different and we have lived our lives in our own unique ways. But what we share in common has been our desire to live faithfully for our Lord. Jake, you will always be a part of my life. Like, you, I have made peace with the fact that I don't know a lot about what awaits us on the other side, but that the God who was faithful to us in life will be present for us beyond this life. Barb, you have also been a blessing to us in so many ways. Do you remember when you invited Ruth and me over for lunch the summer before we were married and we were both attending classes at the U of M. That was so special. May God's peace and presence be yours in the weeks and months ahead. Jack Heppner
