We were so sorry to hear of Jacobs passing. I remember Jacob as youngster with red hair and a mischievous smile.
It sounds as though he had grown to be a wonderful young man with many, many friends.You are in your thoughts, take care.

The first time I met Jacob, he was in a baby carrier. And as he grew, started to walk and talk, the red hair is what always got me! In his younger years, he always had a koolaide mustache! Never knew what color it would be. And the next thing you know, he is in high school! (((hug))) for Jacob, and i did love him, as he is on my fridge. The last few years, all of "the gang" had things we all had to deal with, but we always knew we al love each other, and that is how we end all conversations. GOD deceides when he wants us to come home! I send my LOVE out to the entire family and all of his friends I never even met!

Wally,
I am so sorry to hear about Jacob. You were a wonderful mother to him. He knew that too. I remember Jacob alot as a child growing up. He left an impression with that red hair of his and those warm eyes. :) I remember one day he came over and I had just painted our sidewalk. I had a sign up that said "Wet Paint." That didn't stop Jacob he walked right through the rope that was up with his cleats on and left his foot impressions on our driveway and garage. When I said something to him he just looked at me with that look and said, "OH Sorry." Those impressions of his feet stayed for many years. I even went out to see if I could still see them. Jacob was a wonderful child. You did a wonderful job in raising him. The support you showed him and the love you gave him still appears in my mind. I can not imagine the pain you are feeling but be asurred that he knew you loved him and he is in a much better place than any of us can imagine.

Dearest Wally...So many years have gone by...this is not the way I wanted to find you. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. I remember seeing you at St V's about 15 years ago and you told me of your son. I was so happy for you and now you have had the tragic loss of your son. I never met him but I know his mama is a very special lady and he must have been a fine young man. I am so sorry I couldn't be there for you today. I've miss you for years Wally and our friendship, I'm just so heartbroken for you.. I can not even imagine what you are going through, this is a horrible loss. God be with you today, tomorrow and always Wally and know that Jacob is still with you. Love your old friend Sue Woodville Ohio

It really makes a diffence. Many thoughts and prayers with you and yours.

Wally,
Tears fill my eyes as I write this. Still after several days I cannot believe he's gone. I think about him constantly and remember all of the great memories he has brought to my family's lives. Morgan, Zach and Spencer have lost a great friend that to them felt more like a brother. They took the news extremely hard but I remind them daily of how much he genuinely loved to just be around them. Even though he was a "big" kid he would go roller skating with us and I especially remember him being one of the biggest kids out there on halloween dressed up (as what...I'm not sure) He had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've known. Even though he was years older than my kids he would give up an invitation to be with the older kids just to "hang out" with mine. I thank him for sharing his mother with me his whole life and having the honor of being like a sister to him. Wally, know that I am here for you just like you have always been there for me since I was very young.
Love you very much...Renee

Dear Brandon, Lee, Wally, and family,
We are truly sorry. Jake was a little-tyke when we knew him-always smiling and willing 'to please.' Knowing that he grew to be such a wonderful young boy, well-liked and loved by so many people that came into his life, must make you so proud! Our hearts are with you...

Dear Wally:
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I can not imagine what you are going through at this time, but I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember the young red head with the freckles coming over to my house for our Cub Scout meetings. Then seeing him again all grown up and coming over to the house to play XBOX live with Ryan and Dylan. He will be missed by many.

To Jacob's Family: We are so sorry for your loss. We met Jacob a few summers ago when our Grandson, Dylan brought him to our home at the lake. He was a very well mannered young man. He made such an impression on all of us, that our younger grandson named his imaginary friend Jacob also. To lose such a young child is so hard to understand. May God comfort all of you and we will keep you in our prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
