I spent a lot of time with Jake and his Family,  I have so many fond Memories as Jake and my Boys were all close in age.  Jake was so funny he would warn me to be careful because the house had been booby trapped and I may also get ambushed.  There was a time at Marie's where Jake and the boys picked her tomatoes and threw them at the Alley boys, needless to say Marie was not too happy but  Jake  said he had to protect us from those Mean ol Alley Boys. Fly High with the Angels Babe,  Samie, Adam and Scott Love you Forever!! 

Every Sunday Jake, Mom, and I would gather to watch a scary movie and make jokes and laugh. I will miss his witty quips and hearty laugh. It felt wonderful to have my brother back after so long. I will remember the bonding and we were able to begin to heal our relationship together.
