Your "Baby Sis"
June 1, 2017
It's been a while since I have written on here, but not much has changed in regards to you. Losing you will always hurt. While I think I manage my grief better from day to day, my heart wishes you were here. I think about you everyday. Parts of me are grateful it hurts so bad since it means our love for you was real. That you mattered. I feel like you left a huge hole in my heart and that's okay. No one else has the capability of filling that hole because there is no one else like you. I miss your voice, your smile, your laugh, your silliness, your singing, your big bear hugs, you listening to me like no one else mattered, you supporting me even when I was wrong, you protecting me...basically, everything about you. <3 I even miss you being mad at me and disappointed in me. You saw things differently and could lift my spirits even in the bleakest of times. Thank you for some of my favorite memories growing up and even as a "grown-up". You could always make me laugh, even when I didn't want to. Thank you for teaching me so much about life and love. Even though I was the BIG sister, I always looked up to you. I still look up to you, just now in Heaven. Recently, while cleaning out some boxes in the garage, I came across a letter you wrote me and it was like you wrote it from Heaven. I actually don't recall ever reading it before, so maybe you persuaded the man upstairs to send me a special message. You were always good at talking anyone and everyone (including me) into doing things for you so I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Ha ha! Then again, you were always good at expressing your feelings in writing so I have countless notes, cards, etc...thank you for that too by the way. You always knew just what to say to comfort me, even after you are gone. I am thankful I see parts of you throughout my daily life, they make life without you a little easier. Know you are always in my heart and never far from my mind. Even though I wish my kiddos could have met you in person, they know and love you from us (me and the parental units) sharing our stories and memories of you. I miss you so much and love you more.
We all miss you Jacob...

Oh what I wouldn't give to have you here today with your excitement and hear your laughter and you at the BBQ grill! I love you forever and always my baby boy..

Still till this day I have not met a friend like you Jacob. We always viewed the world the same, whether it was on politics, life lessons or arguments on nonsense topics. You have always been a great friend. Together we fought for those that couldn't protect themselves, helped those who were lost find their way back and we were always able to show others that there was more to life then just the parties and money. Life was much deeper to us. It was about sharing the good times and spreading positive energy. Well... your positive energy lives on in all use us my friend. Lost, but never forgotten. Miss you brother ~ Pit

I will forever love & cherish every moment & memory with you. Nothing & no one will ever come close to the awesome person & wonderful friend & person that I loved so dear & miss sooo much. I love you to the moon & back & more forever & always.????

"A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart there is a place
That only you can fill
It broke my heart to loose you
But you didn't go alone
As part of me went with you
The day God took you home"
Love,
Uncle Rick
Jacob, I wish you could be here to see how handsome and smart Taylor Jacob is just like his Daddy! Can't believe he is almost 12 years old already..

It's been four years, two months and 29 days since you went to be with Jesus. We celebrated the 26 years that we were able to spend with you. You would have turned 31 on Aug 29th at 4:20 am.
I miss you everyday! I wonder if you ever knew how much you were loved by so many?
Love Always and Forever,

Scott and Pam, I was doing a search trying to find you all and came upon this very sad news...words can never express how sorry I am to hear of Jacob's going home. I have wonderful memories of him and Austen as young boys...my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please contact me via Facebook, I would love to catch up. I think of your family often.

Jacob,
No words can describe how painful it is everyday knowing I am not going to hear your voice, your laughter, your great imagination, your dreams. I miss the notes you wrote to us and left all around the house including in the frig! I am so sad we didn't get to eat some more cherries until we were sick like we planned. I am not sure how many Mother's get praised by their son's because they learned to spit a cherry pit and hit a coke can! But I will never forget the day you got so excited and hugged me cause I finely hit the can with a pit from the cherries we were eating on your front porch....it is one of my favorite memories of our time together! You were unique and greatly missed by so many.
I like to dream of you feeling a breeze blowing softly across your face and that you are enjoying being truly free! No bad memories, no more fighting a uphill battle, no more pain and no more stupid cockroaches! =} they do not like the light and you are in the presence of our Lord and He is the true light that will never have a power outage and leave you in darkness.
Even though I know you are in a far better place, my heart is still broken because I can't hug you and hear you say everything will be ok Mom!
Jacob Richard Mecusker you will never be forgotten...not ever!
I have been told time will heal and it will get better but I believe now that people don't know what to say....so they say that. How can time heal? I wish I could talk to you about this cause I know you would have some off the wall answer that would make me laugh even when I don't feel like laughing!
Oh, how I miss you my son,
Mom
I love you son and miss you. Love always, Mom

Jacob I miss you so much. Today your Dad and I have been married 31 years! Wow! It has been hard to celebrate it though. You were and still are a big part of our lives. Not a day goes by we don't mention you or cry over your not being here with us in person.
Today I did think of something funny. In 2005 right after you moved up here and were still living with us, Your Dad surprised me with tickets to the Seattle Symphony with guest star Joshua Bell. A night I will never ever forget not only because I never dreamed I would actually be going to see a famous symphony but also because when we came home we found you rolled up in a blanket like a burrito laying across our bed! You asked us everything about the symphony and how our night went. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and here in our bed was our 22 year old son laying in our bed! You were so cute. The three of us talked way into the night until I asked your father is he saw anything wrong with this picture! : ) Ha Ha we have had many a laugh over that night! What I would not give to have you laying on our bed talking about anything you wanted to right now on our 31st anniversary. I miss you my beloved son. I am truly hoping it won't be to much longer before I get to join you.

Jacob my son, I miss you so very much. Life is hard without you. I am so jealous you are in heaven right now free from this evil world without me. It's going to be cherry season soon and another year we won't be able to eat cherry till we are sick. My pain is great because I can't hug you and remind you how very special you have always been to me and that no matter what I have always been proud to by your Mother. I hope to see you soon.

My Lord - In Your infinite wisdom when You created the universe, You blessed us with all living creatures. We especially thank You for letting us have our Jacob who brought us so much joy in life. We would have wanted to have him with us longer but we know he is happy to be with You and all the heavenly hosts, knowing Jacob, he is getting all his questions answered. We are very grateful for Your love and care of him. we miss him so very much. I believe at 75 I will be with I will be with Jacob before long and I am anxious to hold him and let him show me around. He has so many who love and miss him but he also has many with him who love him.
Love you very much,

I spent the day thinking about Jacob and his envolvement in my life. Although he grew to be fine man I can't help but see him in my minds eye grinning wide like only he could. His smile always had a "Peter Pan" quality to it, full of fun, love and inner glow that made smiling contagous. The twinkle in his eye was magical and always conveyed to me that he had it all figured out and he was on top of the world. I think that is what I miss about him most but God has other plans for him and who am I to question God's plan? I guess they desperately needed his smile in heaven. I know he's up there smilin and wanting us to celebrate his life by smiling everytime we do something fun and maybe a little mischievous that brings a twinkle to our eye. I love and miss him, Uncle Rick

Jacob,
Happy Birthday!!! Even though you are not here with us physically we will always remember you and celebrate your life on this day.
A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose Jacob is like losing a piece of ourselves, but the love that Jacob brought us...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape our hearts, for it has been there forever. We must cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal us. The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness we shared...will make us strong. We must realize that our time together, no matter how long, was meant to be, and that we were blessed to have such a precious gift of love in our lives. We must keep our hearts beating with the loving memories, and trust in our faith to guide us through. Know that though life moves on...the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace us. Jacob has left us that...to hold in our hearts forever.
Jacob I miss and love you more than words can say!

Happy Birthday Buddy! Today you would have been 28 years old and we would be having a BBQ and eating watermelon to celebrate it. Jacob I never thought to ask you how you made your homemade pico? I just never thought you would not be here to make it yourself. I miss the smell of it taking over the frig! We are going to celebrate this day August 29, 2010 in honor of your Birthday at the Locks. We are going to remember you telling us that you are looking forward to the day when you will truly be free to feel the wind on your face anytime you want!
Today Mitchard, we know for sure that you are truly free and in a better place and that is much better than we can even imagine!:]
I love you so much and I will forever miss you!
Love, Mom

A year, a life time....yet it went by in a blink...I'll never forget your suprise "Barney" birthday party...you hated him but it was so hilarious seeing your shocked expression when we flipped the lights on as you walked through the door. I was still finding confety when I (sadly) moved from Danbury, not to mention assundry items from "unknown" parties....LOL. The gray hairs you and James gave your mother and I. Ten feet tall and bullet proof...I know you have already persuaded God for the largest manssion in heaven so we can all be together again. You are so desparately missed by so many. Stay vigile we will all be together again in time.
Loved more than you could know, Momma2

I really cannot believe it has been a year already. It's not fair that life just keeps going on without him. I was never as close to Jacob as I would have liked throughout the years. Living in different states or me being in the military always made it very difficult to stay in touch. One of the things I remember most is that I could always annoy him at the drop of a hat, but what he probably never knew was how much he meant to me and the reason that I bugged him soo much was because I just wanted to be around him. Jacob was not only my cousin he was my hero. He was always there for everyone, and one night in particular he was there for me on the scariest night of my life. I never got the chance to tell him how much I appreciated him that night, and that is something I will always regret. I miss and love you Jacob more than words can say. I think of you every day, and I will never forget you!
Love Always,

Jacob Richard,
I can't believe you have been gone for a year. Losing you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You were my lifelong friend who happened to be my brother. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to grow up with you. You were my protector. You always believed in me and supported me. You could always make me laugh. I love how goofy you were. I would not be who I am today without you. Words cannot even express how much I miss you, my little brother. I will cherish every memory I have of you and am grateful for the 26 years I had with you, although I cannot help but wish it were for longer. You will always be a part of who I am and I will love you for the rest of my life.
Love Always,
Rachel (Your "Baby Sis")

Today we reflect on the tragic death of our son Jacob, the time we had with him, how much he was loved and how he will be missed.
It is somewhat ironic yet fitting that this first anniversary of his passing fell on Memorial Day. Jacob was never in the military nor died giving his life for his country but we feel he was a brave individual who had the capacity for such a noble deed.
Thankfully Jacob believed and trusted in Jesus Christ who sacrificed Himself for the whole world.
John 1:12-13 (NKJV) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Love you always Jacob,
Dad & Mom
