Diane, Gregg and Brunclick family, Our hearts are broken for you and your family. Jake's passing is beyond the natural order of things. We want to share something we found helpful when my mom passed: Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life the we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again. We lift Jake up in our prayers. With love, Nancy and Jim

I have no way to know your pain at this time. I know love and its what I offer. Since I can't hug all the people who must experience this loss I will pray daily as I wrap my arms around those nearest me and give thanks to God for each day I am able to be a part of their lives. As I do this I will pray daily that your immense grief yield lovingly to the beauty of your memories and his ongoing spirit alive among you.

Will Rutherford left a message on August 17, 2016:
My deepest condolences to your family. I went to law school with Jake and he was in a few of my classes. To me, the most striking thing about Jake was his capacity for empathy. We would often disagree about positions the other would take in class, but Jake always wanted to understand people with whom he did not agree. I did not know him well enough, but for me, Jake will always be the finest example of how to treat other people, and I can think of no higher compliment to give.

Tova and Bruce Eisenberg left a message on August 16, 2016:
Gregg, these are the times when simple words are just too simple to express the loss you and your family are feeling. Here are a few words from a poem that have helped us, its called - We Remember Them. At the rising of the sun and its going down, we remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. At the shining of the sun and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. At the beginning of the year and its end, we remember them. As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now part of us, as we remember them. We send you and your family our love.

Marcia Nimmer left a message on August 16, 2016:
How can I ever forget the Brunclik boys. Precious memories. We lost son and granddaughter far too early - even tho years ago, they are always with us, eternally frozen in our memories. As years pass, the painful grief subsides. Picture him in the arms of the Holy Theotokos (Virgin Mary).
Richard and Joan Carlson left a message on August 16, 2016:
May the Father of us all wrap his loving arms around you and give you strength and love to carry you all through this time of sorrow. Richard and I know what it is to go through this. We really didn't know Jake but know he was brought up in a very religious family. Remember he only gives us as much as we can carry. May our Lord's love bring you closer to him as there must have been a reason he called Jake home to be with him. We love you all and from our hearts God Bless You in Your Time of Need

Celine Josephson left a message on August 16, 2016:
Jake was to be the dictator of the world. This was of significant importance to us because since we were cool and family, we would be allowed to live. Our confidence of survival in these governmentally corrupt times depended upon this simple understanding. Jake had this "army fatigue" jacket in high school that, with a cigarette in his hand, made him look so anti-establishment. I loved that! ( not that I approved of his smoking.) Jake was the only other person I knew that cared as much as I did about using subject and object pronouns correctly in sentences. I appreciated a comrade in the battle against bad grammar. My favorite memory will always be the sight of him sitting on the ottoman at my house at the age of 5 or so, reading book after book after book while Max and Sam played "Barbies" with my girls. (sorry guys for throwing you under the bus with that Barbie thing.) I will always be grateful for the R40 RUSH concert that, because Jake had to decline his ticket, procured for me a 1st row seat in front of Geddy Lee. Thanks again Jake! The thing I will miss the most is the sight of his smile. Lying beneath the smile was always a wry comment sure to make me laugh. Jake I gave you a piece of my heart that will always be yours. Thank you God for every second that I was able to know this unreplaceable demigod! xoxo smiley face, Celine

I am so sorry for your loss. The worst part of grief is that you can’t control it. The best you can do is try to let yourself feel it when it comes. Have patience with yourselves and let a little sunshine in when you can.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
