To the Jacobs family I wish to express my deepest sympathy. I met Mr. Jacobs at least three times and he treated me very nicely. Once was during a church service on Easter Sunday. I explained to him I was not catholic and he reassured me before the service to just relax and follow along. His smile comforted me. May God wrap His loving arms around you all. May he rest in eternal peace.
