Dear Margie and family,
Betty and I have such fond memories of you and Forrest and all the Jacob clan from our many years as members and co-workers at St. Johns. Our sincere sympathy to all.

Our hearts go out to all of the Jacob family. Forrest was such a special man and a wonderful neighbor. May happy memories surround you at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We have lost a very special person. Growing up it was like having two fathers and what a kind person who would listen to your problems and help you when you needed it. Christmas memories would always include Forrest and Margie. Fond memories I will always cherish. To me we lost an icon. His drive and spirit have helped mold me into what I am today, but I will never hold a candle to him, he was the greatest. Forever Santa Claus!

Margie and Forrest were always like fill-in grandparents to me. I've known them the majority of my life and both mean a great deal to me. Until we meet again in heaven, Margie and Forrest will have a special place in my heart.
