Sending our love to the whole Jakisa family. We're so sorry for your loss. Looking at that photo of Bubie brings back cherished memories of seeing her at the girls' soccer games many years ago. Thinking of you at this difficult time. xo

Izražavam svoju iskrenu sućut sinovima Marku i Johnu, cijeloj obitelji Jakiša, te bratu Bruni, sestri Ljilji s obiteljima, te rodbini u Domovini, zbog preminuća drage nam Kate. Neka joj dobri Bog, Gospodar života i smrti, udijeli pokoj vječni među izabranicima svojim, a vama koji tugujete, neka Gospodin utješi obnovljenom vjerom i nadom u uskrsnuće tijela i život vječni. Pokoj vječni daruj joj Gospodine, i svjetlost vječna svijetlila njoj. Počivala u miru!

Upon receiving the sad news of the passing of our dear Kata, I wish to extend my sincere condolences to her sons Mark and John, the entire Jakiša family, as well as to Bruno and Ljilja with their respective families. May the good Lord, the author of life, grant her eternal rest among the chosen ones of his Kingdom, and provide you who are in mourning with renewed faith in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Eternal rest grant unto Kata, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace!
