I am so very sorry for your loss - yet I feel as if I have lost Jake as well. I don't know any of you, however, I feel as if I have known you a very long time. I will pray for you that you celebrate Jake's life in your grief. I honestly can't imagine what you are going through. I do know that you are an amazing person and Jake was a very lucky child to have the parents he did. The best part? You will see him again.
Dan and family, Marty and I are so very sorry you didn't get your blockbuster ending. We both love you and your family so much. I'm sorry I have no words that will comfort you. See you very soon. Lora and Marty
We are so sorry about Jake passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if there's anything we can do. We were so lucky to have known Jake, have been inspired by him and by you guys and the wonderful love you always showed him through this terrible time. Your love and support have been amazing. Remember we are all passing through life on earth to a better place, he just got there before us.
I am so sorry for your loss. Jake was an awesome person and I know he is going to be greatly missed. Oh and can you one little thing. Can you give Anne a hug for me since I can't be there in person to do it myself.
Danny, I have been following the blog almost everyday. Can't put into words how sorry I am and how brave you have both been through this whole thing. All my prayers are with you and Jake. Just in case you had not heard, we lost Chuckie again. He took a job in Guam. When you get a chance e mail me you address so we can write later. You are the best dad ever.
I am devastated over you and your family's loss of Jake, and for all of Jake's friends. Loss doesn't even begin to describe the magnitude of the void I'm sure Jake's passing has left on everyone close to him. My sister Beverly thought of Jake as her "other son" and through her and nephew Austin I got to know him a little bit. I didn't get the chance to have coffee with him but got to have dinner with him and Marci a couple of times, and it was such a treat to get to know him better. But even though I didn't know Jake as well as a lot of people, I will miss him and hope that he is now wrapped in the arms of his grandparents and guitar teacher Ron Jackson.
Dan, Marcie and family, I am so terribly sorry that the end of Jake's journey did not have a happy ending. I wanted more than anything for this to end different. Jake was a very special individual who has touched so many lives. I know that there aren't any words that will assuage your pain and sadness. I just know in my heart that he is no longer suffering and is with others that went before him that loved him very much.
I know that Jake and his legacy will have a long lasting impact on others. He was an inspiration to anyone who had the privilege of meeting him.
God bless Jake and your family! -Marques and Elaine Allyn
I am so very sorry and feel helpless about our inability to help him as well as you at present. I wish it to be known that both Jake and you have touched many lives here in India too, and given them courage to bear their sufferings with dignity and fortitude. God bless you and Jake. We share in your grief and sadness. You have been an exemplary father.
Dan, Marcie, Alex and Annie- This has been a journey for Jake and for all of you. Jake had so much fullness in his short life and although the last 2 years were the hardest you all helped Jake live everyday to its' fullest. I have witnessed the passing of many individuals in my life and my work and I can say that Jake passed with the most dignity and love that I have ever witnessed. For this each of you will be blessed and Jake will smile down on you. Dan, guy friends don't say it enough to other guys but I wanted you to know how much I love you and our friendship. Rick Katz
Dear pastel Family, Jake was a great guy and i very much regret not spending more time with him. This a tremendous loss. He will be forever missed and is in a better place now.
Dear Daniel, We are sorry to know about the sad departure of Jake. Everything is not in the hands of man and things that are in the domain of the Almighty are exclusively his domain. God’s wisdom is beyond the comprehension of mankind and his ways are great, supreme and irrefutable. He knows what is best for everyone and everything that has happened is as per his order. May God give you, Marci, Alex and everyone associated with Jake in some way or the other the strength to bear the loss. The loss is not yours alone and as always we are with you in this hour of sorrow. Regards. Dr.Sibia, Dr.Harpreet and the Staff of Sibia Medical Centre.

I read this last blog with tears in my eyes (as I've read most of those the past week). Please know that our family is thinking of you and praying for you and Jake.
I can't even think of what else to say...except that I send you the biggest hugs one can muster.
Dan, Marci, Anne and Alex, I was reluctant to read the bog on Saturday morning, so I didn't. Now I sit here and see he has left us. I am so sad for you in my heart, but relieved to know he is without the pain and suffering that he has had for so long now. He is now looking down on you. It is hard to continue, but continue... you must. Because the journey you took with Jake would have been wasted. LOVE.......LIVE.......LAUGH........ Love Carol & Steve
Dear Dan & Family~ I am sooo very sorry for your loss. I am grateful for your undying love, commitment, strength and courage to care for Jake. It is an amazing time of change in our lives. Jake must be evolving to a higher path. You are so blessed to have had each other to love and learn from one another. My heart goes out to you all. Be well, support each other. I wish you love, strength, and inner peace. Know that you are an amazing example of unconditional love! ~Cathy
I notice that you have stopped posting anything post Jan. 9th. Maybe you are busy with the various chores associated with the funeral etc. I request you for Jake's sake, your sake and our sake to keep on writing, keep on sharing your feelings with us since we love both Jake and you,and would always want to be in touch with such a wonderful human being like you.
