Julie, Jeff & Kyle,
We are very sorry for your loss. Gary, Chazz, Luke, Ty and I are thinking of you everyday. Since we moved in, the boys have always talked about this awesome bread Kyle and Jacob's mom and dad make...they want Kyle to know they'd love to eat some bread and hang out whenever he wants. They hope he comes over and swims too. Just know we are here if you need anything.
We will miss Jake dearly.

Dear Schroeder Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. May God direct you to happiness throughout this tough time. My prayers go out to you.
Jacob,
You are one of the funniest, smartest and nicest kids I have met. You always had a smile on your face and your smile was definitely contagious! You always made Spanish class really fun. Your funny jokes about "me gusta" always made me laugh. R.I.P

I wrote a poem to console anyone who knows and misses Jacob, here it is.

The skies have darkened
on such a dark day
but we must stay optimistic
regardless to say.
We must keep looking up
we must never look down
we must always use smiles
and must never use frowns.
I understand you are grieving
you are all shooken up
we will always miss Jacob
but must keep looking up.

I didn't know Jacob personally. I've actually never met him; but, without a doubt, I know he's safe now. It's horrible to see a kid as young as him go. I pray for him, I really do.

Jacob. He was a great, funny, and loving kid. I sat by him on the bus everyday and talked with him about games, music, life, and other things kids like. He was very clever and talented. I will miss him. Everyone who knew him will miss him. It a loss to everyone. God bless his family, friends and Jacob himself. Jacob will always be in our hearts and will never be forgotten.

Your humour, your generosity, your kindness was unmatched. Your ability to relate with me on nearly anything made you so easy to get along with. I never could talk to you without joking and laughing and having the ability to just forget about any bad events of the day. I can not unleash myself from the trance I have been put in by your death, I have lost a dear friend, and I hope to see you again at the glistening gates of heaven someday.
