Jacob..
As sad as I all am to see you leave so soon, I trust that God will keep you in good hands. While you reunite with family up in there, be sure to keep an eye on your fellow ones down here. All of us, especially mom and dad. They of all people need your warmth at night and your guidance daily to heal their humble hearts..It can never repair or erase the pain..But it can ease. Not just now, but forever till you meet again. I wish there was more closure to this. But God knows. He understands and I hope your safe and sound now. I will never stop thinking about how you would have turned out to be as an adult Jacob, alot of us won't. I wish I had to chance to say goodbye, but instead I'll just say- see you again someday. I know your smiling down on me saying everythings okay.. Love you Jay~
Rest In Palau cuz.
and tell Jenni & Boboy I said HI.
you 3 take Care.. Don't be strangers, Keep Mekaia company when you can ;D

I know it has been awhile since I've seen you all but when I think about our times together all I can do is smile. Over the years Jacob was such a cutie and a character, he always had a smile on his face when I did see him and I heard so many funny stories from Teresa at work, we got a lot of laughs from him. While he was with us he was a positive and loving part of my life and that is how I will remember him. With much love for all of you!
