To all the Walker family we send our thoughts and prayers to you at this very sad time. We will always remember Jake...as a teammate of Maddie's in hockey and as a fellow traveller at CMHS with both Maddie and MacKenzie. I will always remember seeing Jake at Spencer's in the summer and chatting away as he helped with whatever purchases I may have made. I would tell Maddie I had a crush on him as he was so handsome, tall, kind, friendly, funny and considerate. So many blessed qualities. May your family find peace and strength during this sad, sad time.
