Dear Michelle and Moroni: We met you last Christmas when my daughter, my mom and I dropped off some baby supplies for Jacob. My mom, Sister Johnson, was a missionary in your ward. It was clear, just from the brief time we spent with you, the amazing love you had for Jacob, and what a unique and brave soul he must have been. My daughter has kept Jacob's photo in her room ever since. Our hearts and prayers go out to you during this time.
With love,

My Darling Moroni and Michelle.--I, like you, am saddened by the loss of little Jacob. He truly was special little boy! There a hundreds of memories of him that will bring a smile and tear of joy, as we recall our experiences with him. May those memories be ever bright and a source of comfort as we share them in our grief. May the Lord comfort you and heal your broken hearts.

Dear Michelle & Moroni,
I borrowed these words of Sullivan Ballou, who was a Civil War soldier. He wrote this letter to his wife soon before he died. I believe it is what Little Jacob would say to you, his most loving and devoted parents.
"Never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me, it will whisper your name...But O! If the dead can come back to this Earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days & in the darkest nights...always, always, & if there be a soft breeze on your cheek, (or a snowflake on your nose) it shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again...
From one NICU family to another! God Bless you and give you peace!

Michelle and Moroni, I am so honored that I was able to get to know Jacob and Of course the two of you. He was a great little boy, and he did have a wonderful little spirit despite all he had to go throug in this life, which was more than any little child should have to go through. I know that you both were such a strength to Jacob and that his life was a very good one because of the love you both have for him. I will truly miss that little guy. He made footprints on our hearts, and his smile will always be remembered. I pray that you and your family will remember the good times and feel the love he had for you. May God bless you and keep you strong. Love, Cindy Hunt
