I was Jayke’s Primary teachers five years ago. I remember him with a smile of affection. I found him “spicy” and loved watching and listening to him. Bill and I send our love. I am grateful for Jayke and for that Primary class.

We are so so sorry for your loss. We love you and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We wish we could be there at Jayke’s funeral but with this Cova-19 numbers growing so fast and Deans heart condition we thought it better to stay home, but we are watching.

We pray that the comforting and enabling power of the atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ will be felt in your home and in your hearts.
