I know that this is very late, but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss Mr. and Mrs. Snell, Jacob was such a great person and I always loved when he sat at my lunch table in 8th grade because of just how nice he was in the midst of my noisy and dramatic friends. He was a real blessing to know.

Heather and Scott,
I am so sorry to hear this...I don't even know what to say. Please know that if you need anything, you know I will do whatever I can for you! Jacob was one of the sweetest teens I knew...I always enjoyed seeing him! I just saw him a couple of weeks ago at DQ and it made me happy to see him! I feel like I watched him grow up! I love you both and will be praying for you to be at peace during this time.
