When Jacob lived in Minden, he attended my youth group. During those years, I had the opportunity to take him to church camp with our youth! He loved baseball, but he was always willing to miss practice to go to camp and learn more about God's love.

That boy would keep me on my toes!! I will miss our conversations and hearing about all of his girl troubles!
LOL
I'm sorry I was unable to make it to visitation and the funeral, but Jacob will always have a special place in my heart! You can never get enough of that smile!

I remember we were in the middle of bathing this adorable little baby boy in the kitchen sink at Jac's dads house when Mr Carl ran in screaming that the house was on fire. As Jac ran to call 911, I scooped that sweet little baby up and ran out of the house to the neighbors totally freaked out not believing what was happening. I will never forget that or you or your family. With all my heart and soul I am so sorry for your loss Jac. I have a testimony that families can be together forever and I know that someday you will be reunited with Jacob again. Until then I pray you feel his presence with you always wherever you go and trust in the fact that the Lord has his arms wrapped around Jacob preparing him for his new mission on the other side of the veil. The Lord must have great things in store for that blessed spirit for Him to have called Jacob home so early. Sending my deepest condolences and all my love and prayers in hopes that you will be comforted and find peace soon. God bless you and your family.
