Dear Dena, James & Shelby,



I think of Jared often, especially everytime I play Power Rangers. In fact, he was the one who taught me how to play Power Rangers and that was fun! I am glad he is with God now and that he will not hurt or be sick anymore. I miss him.



Love, Jake



Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! ~The Letzring's
