Grandma Helen at ribbon cutting.

Losing a family member is never easy.  When someone impacts your life as much as I have heard Grandma Helen did for everyone involved at Jakes Fireworks, it makes it even that much harder.  I never met her, but from what I have heard I wish I had.  The stories of her life remind me of my own Grandmothers whom I miss greatly.  They were a strong generation of women.  This Fourth of July will be a hard one for the Jake’s Fireworks family.  I for one will be praying for them.  And while I will celebrate our freedom this 4th, I will also be thinking of Grandma Helen, and my own Grandmothers.  Jake’s Fireworks Blog
