Mrs. Jacobs was a true friend that always looked for the best in others. I could always count on her for an understanding ear and a honest opinion. Her love of life and her love for her boys (Admiral Hockey Team) was a joy to be a part of. Our family will miss her greatly.

Ms. Jacobs lived her life to the fullest extent...always busy. I always cherish Admirals hockey games together and our unconditional love for the Washington Redskins. We loved having her as an employee at Jimmy's Fresh Market (Belo) in Port Norfolk. May God bless her family and friends as she lives on inside each of us.
