Dear family,
On behalf of Chamberlain-Hunt Academy, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. I actually came to the school after Jacob left, but I remember working with his file and even talking to him on the phone. When the teachers heard the news this morning, they were grieved and had nothing but good things to say of him. If CHA can do anything for you, please let us know.

"Even in our sleep,
pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop
upon the heart.
Until in our own despair,
against our will;
comes wisdom.
Through the awful Grace of God."

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, an do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die." (John 11:25-26)
Jake is face-to-face with our Lord; right now, in Paradise, with Uncle Kerry, smiling down on us, because of “faith alone in Christ alone”.
And in addition to that monumental promise, salvation, I will continue to pray for you and your family to recall to mind all of God's promises, which will give you comfort and strength. Recall them, claim them, and lean on Him.
In His name,
Tammy

When a child dies, it is particularly hard for the mother.OF course, it is difficult for the bereaved father.because you have confidence in the resurrection,you will not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.(1 Thessalonians 4:13)

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Mark,
You are the most caring and loving parent I have ever met (in my whole life). You have a closeness with your children that we all could learn from and I have always admired that in you. This must make the loss very hard although you couldn't of been a better father to a great son. I believe your son is now with Christ and even better off than he was down here. You will see him again! If there is anything I can do I will, please just let me know.
Love Your Brother
