“We met Carrie and Jake at St. Brigid Church. Jake was “Our Usher at Sat Vigil mass. He was so kind and caring. He ysed to bend way down to ask us how we were? (We are short old ladies). He would never snub us or not make sure he greeted us. His caring and kindness went a very ling way. When I found out he was from NY that sealed the deal with inside jokes. This past Saturday was horrible for us. We missed Jake standing tall like our strong beacon. We wiil be here for Carrie and hold her close.”
