This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Jake Adam Lucas who was born in Simi Valley, California on August 19, 1993 and passed away on February 11, 2007 at the age of 13. We will forever remember him. Jake had a big heart and a lot of friends!!! He was always there whenever you needed him whether it was to borrow a shirt , some money or even if you need to borrow some attention he was there! He had a smile to brighten up the room (big and cheesy) He had a great personality (that no one will ever come close to having) and he had a way to make you smile (like no other!).....He loved his family and friends but just as important in that catagory was his girlfriend, cellphone, and of course his dirtbike! You know it's true what they say 'life is just too short' ............things in life come and go so fast!! You never know what to expect! If we could see the future we would have never predicted it to look like this! You could be here today and gone tomorrow so just make sure you never leave your house mad at someone you never say goodbye without hugs and kisses !!! Each and everyday live, love, and laugh never regret cause at one point it was exactly what you wanted!! & Just because you get knocked down that doesn't doesn't mean give up, it means get back on your feet and try again and if Jake had a second chance that's exactly what he would have done!! I would like to thank each and every person who has come here to light a candle or leave a tribute or just read about my son. My sons mean the world to me and it is nice to know that my youngest is remembered in this way so with all my heart, Thank you!!!

Child of My Child written by Jake's poppy (Geno Giordan)
Child of my Child Do you know who you are? My new life's companion My brand new star.
Child of my heart The one who's unseen Because I can't touch you That doesn't mean
I can't hear you, and feel you With me all the time Around me and in me The best of what's mine
Child of my Child Can't wait to see you once again That shy little smile That big cheesy grin
For when my time in this world has come to a stop We'll be together Forever You and your Pop
To you, Jake, I make the following promises:
I promise to get up each day, take a deep breath and begin another day without you.
I promise to love, laugh and smile with family and friends who knew you as well as I.
I promise to take the time to appreciate family and friends who loved us, as life is too short.
I promise to listen to all the songs on your IPOD. I will roll the windows down and sing my heart out. I will sing every song even if I don't know all the words.
I promise to speak my mind, take more risks, even when they may cause me to make a fool of myself.
I promise to smile, laugh, love and just make a difference in someone's life.
These promises I make to you, are because you are my gift from God and the light of my life. I will live for both of us until we can be together again.
Mom
This poem was written by Breanna's Dad for her to Jake:
In rememberance of a friend We think that life would never end . Until we lose a real good friend . And for Breanna my heart does ache . In memory of her good friend Jake . Cause with his lose ,the days are hard . As young Jake was her special pard . Who always was a friend with love . And is gone now with God above .So dry your eyes not all is lost .so our Gods son has paid the cost .To give us the chance to meet again . Breanna and Jake in heaven as friends . Just as this little rhyme is true . Jake up in heaven and waits for you .
AND GOD SAID..
I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That's why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, life is so hard." And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?" And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light"
I said, "God, it hurts." And God said, "I know."
REMEMBER ME
I may be invisible to your sight but I'm forever here You may not hear me speak But I'm forever whispering in your ear You may not feel my touch But I'm forever by your side You may not feel my presence But I'm forever going to remind you my soul has NOT died You may not see my face But I'm forever smiling at you You may not know I'm there But I'm forever watching what you do I may not breathe the same air But I'm forever holding you And though I cannot be seen I'm forever, like my love for you.

PENNYS FROM HEAVEN
I FOUND A PENNY TODAY JUST LAYING ON THE GROUND
BUT ITS NOT JUST A PENNY THIS LITTLE COIN I HAVE FOUND..
FOUND PENNYS COME FROM HEAVEN THATS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD..
WHEN A ANGEL MISSES YOU THEY TOSS A PENNY DOWN SOMETIMES JUST TO CHEER YOU UP MAKE A SMILE OUT OF A FROWN..
SO DON'T PASS BY THAT PENNY WHEN YOUR FEELING BLUE IT MAY BE A PENNY FROM HEAVEN THAT YOUR ANGEL TOSSED TO YOU..
JAKE, WHEN I PICK UP THAT PENNY WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE AND YOU HAVE SEEN ME DO IT. I WILL SAY "IN GOD WE TRUST" THAT IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE PENNY. DAD
Mom, please don’t feel guilty It was just my time to go. I see you are still feeling sad, And the tears just seem to flow. We all come to earth for our lifetime, And for some it’s not many years I don’t want you to keep crying You are shedding so many tears. I haven’t really left you Even though it may seem so. I have just gone to my heavenly home, And I’m closer to you than you know. Just believe that when you say my name I’m standing next to you, I know you long to see me, But there’s nothing I can do. But I’ll still send you messages And hope you understand, That when your time comes to “cross over,” I’ll be there to take your hand.
