Early this morning, one of my friends died from a cerebral haemorrhage brought on by his very recently diagnosed leukaemia. Last week at this time, he stayed home to rest what everyone thought was a flu. By the weekend, he was having his first round of chemo. This morning, his body could no longer sustain his life.
Words cannot really express the melancholy my wife and I feel, or the sympathy we feel at the grossly unfair trials that his widow will have to face in the coming months as she tends to their second child who was born just yesterday.
Our thoughts are with her, her children, and all their family, right now.
For those of you who want to know more about Jake Sauer and what he meant to those around him, several of his friends created
this blog as a shared memory space.
