Words cannot express the pain in our hearts when we heard of Jacob's passing. We still remember our boys playing with Jacob when they were growing up in Highland Springs. May you receive God's love and peace during this sorrowful time. Jacob visited with us at our house over a year ago, he still had the same sweet spirit and spoke of his beautiful daughter, Nevaeh. He will be sorely missed.

I just can't imagine what the family is going through. May God be with you in your time of need. When you find a coin on the ground, just know it is Jacob throwing them from heaven to let you know he is in heaven. Jacob was always very polite when I was around him and a good kid.

I went to school with Jacob for many years. He was always an outgoing person that would make you smile. I'm very sadden to learn that he is gone so soon. Things happen for unknowable reasons but I hope that Jacob's family and friends find peace in knowing that he is in a better place now and will always be looking over them. RIP Jacob! {Smile}
