Family Corner: Jake

Jake’s favorite memories:

  • Years of wisdom, learning and guidance
  • Living with Papa for 3 months in 2018
  • Talking about sports, politics, economics, personal finance, family
  • Drinking Peppermint Schnapps with Taylor Lee at the cabin when we were ~14
  • Visit to Notre Dame for recruiting camp
  • Playing Tonk
  • Holidays at the cabin and at the lake

I’ve found some of the best ways to express my feelings and thoughts on Papa and Grandma have been through speeches and letters I’ve written previously. Here are a few samples:
