Not sure what to say?

Jake was loved and he will be missed -- a poem to his memory

In the quiet times, when I am surrounded by my thoughts
I sometimes ask myself, What really matters to me?
Perhaps it is what I have lost that makes me want to know
To really understand myself, to see how I have grown.

As time goes on, I find myself less and less impressed
By all the things that seem to be criteria for happiness.
For all the dollars in this world could never buy for me
The most...

I had Mr Jacobsen my junior year at MV. he was a great teacher and loved what he did. I am finaly realizing how good of a teacher he was, even though I didn't get a good grade in his class he taught me alot even though I didn't try to learn. He was a very good man.

I had Mr. Jacobson for Shakespeare back in my junior year in 1997. I know how much he loved teaching that class and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well, as I have many good memories of his classroom. I am glad to have had him as a teacher and I am sorry he is no longer with us. My condolences to his family.
