My heart aches for the Duncan Family and Friends. On May 9th 2014, a precious gift of life was taken away suddenly. Jacob, you were loved by so many. You're charming and funny ways touched so many people. I know you are at ease now, as you've passed through heavens gates. You can now spread you're beautiful wings and soar above everyone as an angel. R.I.P. Jacob...you will not be forgotten.
