Uncle Jake will be dearly missed, but sure glad we will see him again. So proud of him, for taking the Lord as his savior a few weeks back. I will sure miss him coming to help work on these Oliver tractors, when deep down, we knew he wanted an Allis. He loved sitting and visiting with me, and admiring our chickens....
