Hey Jacob,
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and all the great memories we shared. I wish that you were here with us. It's hard to believe how long it's been since you were taken from us. So much has changed in the last six years that the time seems to have flown by. But then I sit and think about you and time seems to sit still. It's crazy how life can change at the drop of dime. I love and miss you terribly. Until we meet again big bro!! Hope you have a Happy Birthday in four days!!

Jacob,
Not a day goes by that I don't remember and miss you. I look at the angel wings I got on my shoulder for you and wish you were here. I seems like just yesterday we were hanging out at your house. And then again it feels like its been forever. So much has happened. I had a baby boy a month ago. Tristen JACOB. He's adorable and the most amazing thing thats ever happened to me. If only you were here to play with him, and to have kids of your own. You would have made an awesome dad. Its a real shame you never got the chance. Hopefully I'll see you again someday. Love always and forever, Melissa Schneider

I hadn't spoken with you in quite awhile since graduation in 2002, and I'm sorry that was the case. I'll always remember your mom bringing you and Issac over to play in our front yard. Good on you for being such a great friend til the very end.

Jacob,
I miss you more than every today. I just found out that Tiger's little boy Devon died. Watch over and guide him please. She will find great comfort in knowing that you are by his side. I know you know this but Ryan and I named our son after you. Jacob Matthew Stringfellow. He was born January 12th, 2007. Having him and seeing him with our family and friends reminds me of the love that people have and shared with you. We miss and love you dearly. Thank you for always being there for me and helping me in my times of need. I love you! :)

Hey Jacob,
I miss you so much. I just wanted to let you know that Ryan and I named our son after you. You were my best friend and my brother. You were a great part of our family and we will never forget you. Our son Jacon is 8 months now and he reminds me of the love that everyone has for you. We love you and miss you dearly. Today has been an especially hard day. I just found out that Tiger lost her little boy Devon. I told her that you would look after him and help him look after her and her family. We love you. :)

Hey sweetheart! I swear I thought I saw you the other day. Maybe it WAS you! :) Well, it's getting closer to two years and I still have a hard time telling everyone about you. Most people remember hearing about what happened and they sympathize with me, so it's comforting. I still think about you a lot and I carry your picture with me all the time. I hope you are doing well and watching over us! Miss you babe! TTYL Amanda

Jacob, I miss you. It just seems like yesterday that we were hanging out, playing our air band,(we sounded so good). Sorry it has taken so long to write. There is no excuse for it. Jacob, there is so much I can say but I know you already know. I just wanted to write to let you know that there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Sometimes, I see people that look like you and I want to go running up to them, but then I come back to reality. I have been doing good, going back to school at MSC. It is tough but I can manage. Well, it has been good writing to you, I will do it again sometime. Miss you, Janet

Hey Jacob (Big Bro)
I just wanted to write you and catch you up on some things... You probably already know that I got married to tj on July 23rd. Im sure you were looking down or standing at the back of the room. So now im not sherrie watson anymore im sherrie bouvia! The other thing i wanted to mention to u was i moved to louisiana to be with tj. Dont worry kelly and I went to visit you the night before i left. And whenever i do get to come home to visit i will be sure to stop by and see you. I love you soo much and miss you :( I keep thinking about the day this all happened and i just wish i had a chance to tell you goodbye and that i love you! You were such a good friend to me, we had fun times together... I will never forget you, you will always have a place in my heart! I love you Jacob Hardy!!! RIP Baby Boy
Love Always Your Lil Sis (sherrie)

Hey Jacob, It feels weird writing you. I mean I think about you all the time and I have written you a million times, knowing that you can't read them. Its hard to cope with still. I tell everyone about you here, and I go and see as much as possible, feeling that maybe somehow if I look hard enough and believe that maybe you can see it to. So I do everything to the fullest extent possible, because its for two people not one. I still have all the drawings and notes we would write back and forth, even though we were sitting across from eachother. I hope your family and Jenny are doing okay. I haven't talked to anyone in so long. I wish you were here so I could just tell you how much you mean to me. You have no idea how much I miss you. I will never forget you pulling up in Michelle's driveway in the big white truck of yours, like I had never left. I never felt more at home then when me, you, Michelle, John(and the rest of the boys) would chill. You totally accepted me for me, didn't care what I had or hadn't done, who I was and wasn't friends with. I dunno, you don't realize that untill you don't have it anymore. I will love and miss you for the rest of my life. -Always & Forever Melissa

Hey Angel,
Its me again! I havent had a chance to write you in a long time since I dont have the internet at my house. So while im at school im taking the time to do so. I miss you so much and wish you were still here with us... Everytime I look at your picture its hard to tell my self that your really gone. In may I will be graduating and I know that my best friend (Jacob Hardy) will be there to watch me and the others walk across that stage. Well Ive got to go now so ill talk to you later I love you with all my heart!

Jacob,
Hey honey, it has been almost a year and I still remember the last time I saw you and Jenny up at Hollister. I remember feeling so glad for you two. Yall looked so happy. I can still remember the New York trip we went on almost 4 years ago. You and Tommy and Sean goofing around in the hotel room...so silly.
It's been a little easier talking to other people about you now. Everyone hears about you when they see your picture. Sometimes just telling them about what an impact you made on us helps a lot. i just wish they knew you as well as we all did. i know that I'll see you one day again. I love you

Jacob, It has taken me a long time to write this, but don't think that I havent been thinking about you. I looked up to you in Band and in everything. You are an inspiration for a lot of us out here and we know that you are in a better place and that you are looking down on us. I will never forget hanging with you at the many football games and hearing Jenny talk about you. You guys are perfect for each other and one day you will be with her again. Somedays i just look up to the sky and wonder what you are doing. Are you writing another song for the guitar, or are you playing the sax? We all love and miss you buddy. Fly high and we will always remember you and we will never forget you.

Hey sweetheart, Well, this time last year we were talking about how excited we were the fair was about to start and we were both so excited that we had found some way out of both of our schedules to go together. I remember the night that we got to go. It was cold, and dark. Whenever we first got inside the fair you remembered that you left the camera in the car and we decided not to go back and get it. I really wish we had. The look you had in your eyes was so full of life and love, I will never forget that look. As time continued after the fair, we did many things that I will never forget and will always remember with joy and happiness. We went to the park for some cold picnics, we went to your father's house and I met the "Hardy Boys". These memories are constantly running through my mind. I miss you very much. The time that we shared together was priceless, and every morning I still wake and go to reach for the phone I have to pause. I can't call you and hear your voice, but I know that you can still hear mine. I also know that you are helping the Lord watch over and take care of me. I know that I still have a lot of things I will have to overcome in the future. The place that you had in my heart can not be filled, like you said you just nailed up your sign and made yourself at home. I love you and always will. Fly high baby.

Hi Jacob,
It has taken me over nine months to finally write you a message. You have always been there for my son, Steven and especially for your brother Isaac. I can still remember you stopping by the house in your white truck to pick Steven up to take him to Feagin Mill Middle School. It just seems like yesterday that I remember seeing those beautiful green eyes and heart-warming smile of yours. You will forever be in our heart, darling. My scripture to you: They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles. Isaiah 40:31. I will always remember you as an Angel with wings. We love you very much! The Pierson's

hey honey
i've tried to write you before but the words were hard to get out at that time. My friend asked me the other day about the picture I have of you and why I keep it in my car. He said he remembered hearing about you. He has just lost someone recently too and asked me how I felt after it happened. Telling him about how you touched so many lives made it a little easier. Jacob, until next time... I love you amanda

Hey Gorgeous. Jenny and i started hanging out again thank god. its so good to see her and talk to her now. i feel like a little part of us is back with me when shes around. she misses you so much angel. you'd melt if you saw how grown up she looks.... shes so beautiful jacob. i admit i started cryin when i first saw her again, then she hugged me and told me not to cry, you wouldn't like that. and she's right... i've realized so much lately... i don't talk to anyone anymore. except for our "group".. u know who im talkin about... we had a party the other night for brooks... hes goin to the army dude! go figure.. we always said he'd be 25 still livin in his moms house, but i guess the strength you brought him really turned him around. my heart aches for you all the time, i still won't let go of your memory. i love and miss you so much.... god bless you sweetheart, look over us... good night..

Hey sweetie!I cant believe that tomorrow is going to be 4 months since you left us. ever since that day it seems like everything and everyone has changed. Everyday I think of you and think of what your doing and if your looking down at me. there are times I catch my self staring off in the sky and thinking of all the memories we had together... I wont ever forget them.Never will I forget the day I got my drivers license I was so scared to drive by myself so you offered to ride with me... I miss being able to hang out with you, there are times when we have nothing to do and I just want to say I wander what jacob's doing lets go see him. But then I remember that your not here with us anymore. To me its like you moved and I cant see you for a while but then I think about it and tell my self your in heaven I cant see you until its my turn. enough about that I just want to say I love you so much and I miss you more and more each day. *Goodnight AnGeL* xoxo

Jacob! Iverson and I have been thinking about you and talking about you alot lately so I figured it was time to write again. We wondered what you could see up there and what you were busy doing, but I guess we won't know til we get there. Sometimes I feel like you're not really gone, like I may just run into you at MSC tomorrow or something, but then I realize I won't. I wish you were here! I've spent some time with ur boys lately and they miss you tons too! Its so easy to see how you've touched so many lives. Thanks for all you've done for me, and I know you're watching over me! I love u!

Hey baby. Well i have to tell you that today has been a pretty hard way. John Arrowsmith is on his way up to be with you. Make sure you show him the ropes, j/k. I miss you so much. You would be proud of me, I gave a speech on capital punishment for my literature class and I made a 100. Brianna came to watch, I ended up making her cry, and the majority of the class.
I have to tell you this is hard. I mean going on without you. I had pictured you in my life for the rest of my life, and I think about all the things you taught me and then I think about all the times we spent together, and I don't understand the reasoning on why you aren't here. I don't think I ever will. I just know that in your short time here you have affected so many peoples lives, it is just remarkable. I just hope that I will be able to do the same.
I have been trying very hard at work, I guess I am just tired of everyone asking my status and then asking for my number or givin me there number. But you know what's happening to that, nothing.
Well, baby. I am just thinking of what we would have done in two weeks on the 12th for our 9 month anniversary. I guess these Jacob withdrawals are worse then I can imagine. But, I just want to tell you that I love you baby and I miss you. Help me watch over your momma, she's going through are hard time I think losing so may people that mean so much to her. And help me keep an eye out for our families and our friends because it is hard for me to talk to them sometimes. I love you and miss you. Fly high with those wings sweetheart.

Hey Baba~! I cant believe that 2morrow will be 3 months that u havent been here w/ us. I hate it so0o0o0o much, its not fair. I miss u alot, nobody understands how im feelin. I try 2 act like everythings alright but it isnt. There isnt one day that i dont think bout u, i listen to the cd that we played at your candle light every mornin when im gettin ready. I always wanna come see u and talk 2 u 2 tell u how things r goin and how much that i wish u were still here. This is all so hard 4 me i could only imagine what your parents and brother and Jenny r goin through. They r all doin a good job stickin in there. Their probably doin it 4 u, i was real upset wed. and Jen S. told me that u wouldnt want me 2 be doin this 2 myself but its just so hard. I cant help but cry, u leavin is not just goin 2 leave my mind i dont want it 2 i will always remember u. Its just so weird w/out u here, it feels like sumthin is missin and there is YOU~! i wish u didnt have 2 leave so early i wish u were here atleast 2 be here w/ all of us through the hard times we have been goin through. I know this might sound psycho but everytime that i see your brother at school i see u in him and i just wanna run up 2 him and give him a huge hug. The other day was so hard 4 me i felt like i had nobody and i was wishin so bad that i was w/ u up there. i always think and wonder if when im thinkin of u that u r thinkin of me 2, i sure hope so. They r so lucky 2 have a beautiful, talented, sweet young man now. U probably r the best dressier there cuz u sure were here.lol I try 2 just think bout all the good times we all had and most of the time all just be laughin and then start cryin 2. But im tryin 2 get betta. I love u so much and miss u, u will never leave my life, mind or heart. Jacob u will always have a part of my life no matter if its 50 yrs. down the road.

Hey Angel! I miss you so much... God sent you my friend Brian from Oklahoma... i lost him a few weeks after you went to heaven... i know you guys will be great together, i bet your up there jammin' out on the guitar together. i miss talkin to you all those late nights, you playin sublime songs for me while i sang for you. i miss everything about us. don't get me wrong i love Dustin... but i miss you Jacob! whose gonna drive around with me, and wear my cowboy hat , whose gonna write songs with me, whose gonna be there to answer my phone calls at 2 in the morning just because im stressed over nothing and can't sleep? Jess is doin good, im tryin' to keep her out of trouble, like you always did. i can't help but talk like your still here because im not ready to let go yet. i haven't seen Jenny since the funeral... i don't believe i can face her without breakin down cryin in her arms first. you've made her so strong Jacob. i agree with Jenny when she says that everyday has blended together... time has deffinately stood still. i won't wake up untill im in heaven with you and Brian... i miss you boys more than anything in this world. i wish there was some way i could take all this back and bring you back here. and i wish heaven had a cell phone so i could call you and talk... you wouldn't have to say one word angel, knowin your on the other end of the phone would calm my fears. i still have your sublime shirt, im glad i never gave it back to you sweetie.. i know how bad you wanted it because that's "OUR" band... but now i can remember you with it. i know your sittin in heaven writing the most incredible songs.... and i know that one night while im thinkin of you, and prayin to you in heaven... that your lyrics are gonna somehow come into my mind... maybe then i'll be famous like we always said. i know you were supposed to be my guitar player.. but i promise if i ever do make it, your name will be known all over the world and not just southern georgia. i will make you famous, you worked so hard to become the artist that you are, so much talent sweetie... no one is ever going to take your place Jacob. please get through to me somehow and make me stay good. im tryin so hard, but its really complicated when your not here pushin me to do my best. i miss your pep-talks soooooooo bad. you could talk me in and out of anything.not too many people can do that to a person.... i love and miss you so much Angel.... take care .....

Hey you. I don't know what to say. I had already signed your guestbook before, but I didn't really say much and that night at the church, I was scared to talk to you and to tell you what I needed to say. I just want you to know that I miss you so much and I love you, you will always have a part of my heart with you. I remember the last time I saw you, everything we said and I'm sad that I hadn't talked to you in a few months before you left all of us. When Courtney called and told me what happened, I couldn't believe it and I still don't believe it. After I found out, I went home and I read all of the letters that you wrote me. I started remising about all of the good times and all the hard times we had. In one of your letters, you told me that you couldn't wait until you were 18 and that you would come and visit a whole bunch. Jacob, I wish that we would've stayed close in touch with each other, because all I can think about is.... What could I have done or said... maybe things would be different. I think that maybe you'd still be with all of us. But, I don't think I'm the only person wondering what I could've done differently so that you'd still be here. You are such an amazing person, you were meant for such wonderful things and I know you're watching over all of your friends and family doing wonderful things where you are now. I want you to know that I tried calling you a few times, but you know that you were always impossible to get a hold of. I don't want you to think that I stopped caring because I never stopped caring and I still do care. I'm very happy to know that you before you left, you were happy and that things were better for you and that you found someone like Jenny that made you want to be a better person. I want you to know that I'm praying for her, for your mom, your brothers and the rest of your family. I try to talk to you every chance I get, I just hope that you're listening. Everytime I start to cry or get upset, I think of the MANY conversations we had where I begged you to say, "How you doin' ?" To this day, it still makes me smile and laugh, I just don't want to forget you.... I don't want to forget the anything about you. Peace be with you and I love you. I'll see you.
Love always,
Katie

hey jacob, being so far away makes me think of you more than i thought it would. seeing all of the beautiful things here makes me wish you were here to see them too. i miss you soo much and i can't help but cry. i don't think i will ever be the same. i see people, mostly guys, that remind me of you and it hurts. you will always be my best friend, the one i could talk to no matter what. i still talk to you, i hope that you listen as well as you use to. i love you.

Hey Baby! I have to tell you I miss you so much, I still try to call and wake you up for work in the morning on my way to school. Listening to the message that it is disconnected isn't that great. But, I know you are here with me. I still can't get over the fact that anytime I eat out I have to bring home a to-go box, that is a major change and I think I might have to cut back on my eating out. Brianna is going to be helping me with my shopping problems. That's going to be a challenge for her but I think she can do it.
Thank you for the necklace, your mom found it. I can't believe you thought I would go looking for it "Jacob Moore" that's a good one. I haven't taken it off since Christmas Eve!
I had fun with your family on Christmas, I think that the "Hardy Boys" were a little suprised by how fast I came back with a reply to some of there comments and some of their looks. I am looking forward to the Fourth of July! I think everyone is going to try to make me go fishing, you know I will probably give in, like we talked about. I remember the things you told me and I will keep them in my mind when I am making my way through that trip.
Every night when I lay down to go to sleep I think that I have to talk to you, not one day since you have left me has been complete. They all seem to blend together, just some moments are better than others. As you have told me when you haven't gotten to see me all day, "Baby, I'm going through Jenny withdrawals!" Well, I'm going through Jacob withdrawals!
I love you and I miss you very much baby! You are finally twenty! Does it feel any different?
I love you!
Your baby,
Jenny

I remember the first time you reached out for my hand - you were just an infant. I remember the last time you sat in my lap - it was the afternoon before I lost you. Somehow you just knew we needed to see you laugh and play. My best brown sweater still has the CB&T bank stamp on the back from that day, and it was hard for Isaac to wash his off his arm. We were shocked to see that you still had the little red and blue stamp on your arm at the hospital. It made us laugh and then cry. You always knew how to make me mad and make me laugh at the same time. Jacob, you were my first true friend. The person I confided in the most. My beginning, my future and my end. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through each day without you. Who is going to eat me out of house and home? Who is going to leave the TV on, the toilet seats up, and all the cabinet doors open? Who is going to stand at the mall and hold the doors open until every women in the parking lot has walked in? Who is going to walk on clean carpet with dirty shoes? Who is going to leave me text messages that say "mommy, I love you"? Who is going to put post-it notes all over my computer screen? Who?
I miss you.
Well, I guess Amma is up in heaven right now passing her green beans down the banquet table to you. And you have probably already told the Georgia/Alabama joke to everyone who will listen. :)
I know you are asleep. I realize by the time you wake, we will all be with you. So, little one, while you sleep, I will think of you and dream of you. I will look forward to you awaking - to be caught up with you. When the trumpet sounds and you awake, I will be there - we will all be there. What a GREAT and glorious day that will be...So, sleep - my little boy, sleep. Love, Mommy

Jacob was such a wonderful person with a kind, warm heart. It makes me sad to know that something so horrible could happen to someone with so much life left to give and share with others. I dont believe there is a need to reiterate how much he will be missed;All of the entries here are proof of how one life can touch so many others all over the world in such little time. I pray you are rewarded in Heaven for having such a kind heart. God Bless you Jacob, you're in a better place.

Jacob,
I wish I had the chance of meeting you because it's sad to here that one of your family members have died that you've never met. I wish I knew what you were like and what you enjoyed. Things that other people got to experience that I didn't. But I know when I get to heaven I will have the wonderful oppourtunity to see you. You have touched the lives of so many people, even me. Well *R.I.P* Jacob W. Hardy. I'll be looking forward to seeing you in heaven.
And to family, friend, and Jenny
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. GOD BLESS!

I didnt know Jacob very well, only years back when he was good friends of my boyfriend at the time. When i found out I was so sad. I know that he had an awsome affect on a lot of people, and it just dont seem right. God bless his family, and Jenny.
Family of Jacob, and Jenny: I dont know you but from what ive heard you were very close to Jacob, and my heart goes out to you. I wish i could make it all better, but i cant, all I can do is encourage you to lean on God and those around you who are there for you to lean on!
May God bless all of you.

Jacob,
We did not know each other but we did go to school together and we were in band together. It shocked me when I heard what happened. Just know that I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I know you will be watching over all of us and that God has used you in more ways then we know. TO Jacob's Family, I give you my best wishes and will keep you all in my prayers. If you need anything just email me. Jennifer, keep your head up and May God give you Strength.
God Bless You All.

To The Hardy Family: I graduated from Central Fellowship Christian Academy and I remember when Jacob first enrolled years ago. He was always so humorous and sweet. You are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful son (even if it was only for a brief 19 years). God never puts more on us than we can handle.. so stay strong in your faith; Jacob would have wanted it that way..
Best Regards,

Jacob, I don't know where to start. I'm at a loss for words. I used to remember the times that me, you and John used to have back in middle school. Just to think about all this happening is just bringing tears to my eyes. I knew u had such a good potential in life, but we all know that you are in a better place now. So hold on, we will all meet you up there in the place above sooner or later. Just hang on...no matter what and we will see you again. My prayers to you and godspeed. Daniel.

We've been friends since I moved here in 7th grade. You were one of the first guys in middle school to actually want to be my friend. Memories of all the times we'd hang out it the hallways with always be with me. Sadly after I transfered schools, our friendship diminished. The resurgence in high school was wonderful and I'll never forget you. R.I.P. and may the good lord look highly upon you and your family. Lastly, Jenny, hold on strong, I know how much you meant to each other and I hope you know that I'm always here for you even when I'm not in town.

Jacob,
I have known you since I have moved to GA back in 1996. We had many good memories together. I will never forget those times you asked for my answers in class at HOCO. I find it is sad that a person you graduated is gone forever. R.I.P. Jacob!

To Jacob, You brightened my classroom and my life. There was just something about that sweet, but mischievous smile, that touched my heart. It was an unusual group - that after school class - but I was glad it gave me the chance to get to know you. We kept in touch, and I am so happy you stopped by the store to see me a couple of weeks ago. You seemed so happy, and I was proud of what you were doing - and seeing you with Jenny, another of my "babies" was also a pleasure for me. I am so sad you left us at such a young age. Its hurts to lose my kids. I only wish I had another chance to talk with you. There are so many things left unsaid. Just know you made an impact and will not be forgotten. Thanks for the memories. It's students like you who make my job worthwhile. I am proud to have been one of your favorite teachers. Goodbye my friend.

Jacob...Words can't explain the grief I feel right now. We had GREAT times together. I can still smell that cologne you used to wear your senior year, how generous you were to allow Chris and me to ride with you to Prom in 2001, Shirley Hills on Wed nights, band @ HCHS, the pictures you drew me, Kathryn's b-day party, Bear Ball, and Personal Fitness class. No matter how I was feeling, you always seemed 2 make me smile. You were the best listener and the greatest friend. I love you dearly and will never forget you. RIP. I'll see you again in heaven someday...I can't wait to see your smile again.
To Isaac & family & Jenny- God Bless you all, u are in my prayers.

The office just isn't the same without you. I know that you will now be our guardian angel, your presence is felt everywhere. We all love and miss you lots and will do our best to show your family lots of love and support.

Jacob, I never could bring myself to say goodbye out loud, not at the hospital or even at the service seeing you lie there. There just aren't words for how much you have impacted so many people's lives. I remember tutoring you in Algebra and you were so smart I couldn't even understand why you needed my help! It's just so hard to accept this after having known you and your family for 12 years, even if I never saw you very often. I know that wherever you are you are still happy and sharing your light with others.

I taught Jacob in the sixth-grade. He was one of the few students you always remember because he was such an asset to the class. I remember his great personality and his kindness. I too, recall him being one of only a handful of students who could sign for John. Something that I thought made him mature beyond his years. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family for many years to come. I am sure the laughter and joy in heaven have more than doubled since his arrival. Angels rejoicing filled the hallways of heaven.
Jacob, we'll see ya kiddoe!

Its so hard to believe that this is all really happening! Its such a shock to all. I remember all the memories in High School being in homeroom together. In 9th grade I had taken a picture of Jacob, Matt Hancock and Brain Hall they we're messing around I took a picture of them doing see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Jacob was doing see no evil. Jacob was a really nice guy he liked everyone and everyone liked him. He would always sit in front of me and we would talk about anything that came to mind. I've learned that you need to LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLIEST and when times are rough try to stay strong. If I could go back in to time I would have become better friends with Jacob. I've seen how he's touched everyones hearts. My prayers are with the family and all of his friends. R.I.P Jacob Hardy We will love and miss you always!!

June 27th 2003 I met you and those big green eyes of yours
On July 12th you got back from a trip with the family
You talked to me about sitting on the beach
Just thinking
You had called me everyday
Even told me about being locked out of the room!
But you told me you had been thinking about us
About a relationship
And you wanted me as a girlfriend
I said yes
No doubt in my mind
Neither of us knew the outcome
We didn’t know how long it would last
No one did
Everyone said to be careful
But I knew you would never hurt me
Then, we figured it out!
A little after a month of being together
I met the entire family
You were about to meet all of mine
Now which was more nervous
I wish I could tell
No one knew it was forever
Except for us
You bought me to meet your grandparents
And daddy and brother
I got to meet many relatives
Hear many stories
See some pictures
Got to see the places where you used to play
Used to fish
And fight with Isaac and Brandy
I know we didn’t get to share all the memories we wanted
But everyday I hear a new story
I hear things about work
Things about playing
Things about when you were little
And things you used to say
I’m at a loss of words with each new story
I keep looking through pictures wanting to hear your sweet voice
I know I will hear it again
It might be some time from now
But then you will never be able to leave me again
I can tell you more stories about what I have done
What I have accomplished
Number one is how I got to hold on to you
You will never really leave me
I might not get to wake you up for work anymore
But I still get to talk to you
The best part is anytime I want
Because I know that you are listening
And watching
And taking care of me.
You will be in my section
Every time I serve
Be at every table I seat
I’m sure you will be there with every steak and loaded baked potato
I set on the table
I lay here in bed holding Hubert
The first teddy bear you gave me
Thinking I should still be able to hold you
You told me when you weren’t with me
And I wanted you
Just hold Hubert as a substitute.
Well, Hubert isn’t lonely
He is being very well used
I just want you to know I knew
I keep finding things out
As Kevin put it, “I heard a new story everyday about you!”
I know it will be the same with you.
I still hear your voice
Still hear your guitar
Remember the play arguments
And then you trying to touch my feet and toes.
I know about you plans
Some of your goals
And will always hear of your accomplishments.
I have to tell you one thing more
With every song I hear
I hear your voice
With every picture I see
I see you
And with every story
I know more of yours.
You introduced me to many new people
I bet I would have never known without you.
I will keep family close
Especially yours!
Everyone has found out
And everyone now knows
Our love is forever
And forever it grows
It doesn’t have to have rings
Or a big wedding
It is in our hearts
Because I know you still love me
And I know it’s not a surprise when I say
“I love you very much!”
Jacob, I will always love you and that will never change. Rest in peace sweetheart.

Jacob,
I joined Assist-2-Sell in April. Everyone kept on talking about Jacob this, Jacob that. He is so funny, you'll love him. I met you 2 weeks later, and we hit it off automatically, needless to say I fell in love with you and the light that seemed to radiate from you and touched everyone. Soon after, you came to my home and met my boyfriend and friends. And they too fell in love with you. I will remember all the good times we shared, and miss you dearly. I love you and know you are in a better place. Miss and love you , Brianna

I never met Jacob but the I feel as though I have from everything that I hear about him was Great. I have a hard time figuring out why these things happen. I guess that we all should put our faith in the lord and let him handle it. He has taken a great man from earth but Heaven has gained a great angel, Please watch over all Jacob, Touch their hearts in heaven as you done on earth. For the family and Jenny may you find peace in others words, know that Jacob loved you all, know that He is watching over you right now. RIP Jacob Hardy you will be greatly missed.

Dear Hardy family,
I am in utter shock over your tragic loss. My prayers are with you. God bless all of you with strength.
I first met Jacob in band. We weren't the closest of friends, but he was a great classmate to be around. I remember hanging out with him before and after practice and the summer nights after band camp where we and a group of friends would take snack runs down to the BP with music blaring as we rode in his truck. There is just a flood of memories and as I look back on them the main thing I can see is him and everyone around him laughing; he made everyone around him smile. He was a sweet, caring guy with a laid-back attitude that was refreshing. His joyful spirit will never be forgotten. R.I.P Jacob

I still can not believe that you are gone. It was just Friday that I talked to you for the last time. I will always remember you and all the good times we had. I can not remember a single time I was around you and you did not make me smile at least once. Jacob, I will miss you and all the light that your personality brought to this world. My prayers are with your family and everyone else who was hurt by this tragic loss.
