Dear JR & Amber, I hope this note finds you with peace and the memories of your sweet boy forever etched in your hearts. How I ache for the both of you. I am so sorry to hear about little Jacob. Both of you are in my thoughts. I hope you both find some comfort knowing that he is where all the little angels go - up in Heaven. He gave you such tremendous joy while he was here. Always keep that in your hearts. Deepest Sympathies, Jill (Cook) Griffey and Family

I know that there aren't words to describe the loss that you have suffered. I just want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever need anything, please don't be afraid to call. Give Trinity a big hug for me. She is such a sweetheart and I'm sure she is missing her brother. Just take comfort in knowing that he is in God's hands now.

You probably don't remember me because you were young,but I worked at Alpine Meijer with your mom (Bonnie) many years ago. My husband Mort lost a son 2 weeks before his graduation. We know it is just an unthinkable loss to loose a child. Jacob looks like a real sweetie, full of personality. We will remember all of you at this time of loss in our thoughts & prayers. Love, Mort & Ruthie

We were sadden by the news we got at the Coral Post Office last Saturday. It is hard to under-stand why our Heavenly Father took Jacob home to Him, yet we know Jacob is with Him in a won-derful place. That doesn't take away the pain you feel everyday because you miss him so much, so we will be praying for you three that the God of all comfort will comfort you in ways you can't imagine. He knows your pain since He gave His only son to die for you so you can be with Him and Jacob one day. We love you.

Chorak family, I don't know you however we heard about your son's passing. I truly can't imagine what you maybe going through, and pray I never have to find out. Looking at your son's picture I know in my heart that the Lord has big plans for him, try to understand that he is in the best place there is. Nothing is ever going to hurt him or make him sad. Unfortunly we are left here to miss him for a time, but some day you'll see him again. So try to keep your chin up and look forward to that day. My God Bless you and keep you.

JR, Amber and Trinity, I really don't need to write much here, you know how I feel... my heart is broken. Your pain and loss, I cannot truly imagine, but please know that Jake is still smiling and happily playing... but now with other angels. (Probably playing "Monkey" and wearing my cap like in the photo above!) May god join your many friends and wrap you all in his arms of comfort and love. Shawn

JR, I feel a special connection to you and your family. After all, 4 years of stories (all good of course), its hard not too. When Marc told me about Jacob I felt as though a part of me became missing. I can not understand what you're going thru but I can feel your pain. Please remember, GOD has a reason for all he does ometimes we don't understand,and may never, but we must keep strong and know that he has other plans for Jacob. Yes,you will always feel a void,you'll miss seeing his smile and hearing his laugh, but know he will ALWAYS be with you watching EVERY step you take and surrounding you in LOVE. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers forever. Marc and I will ALWAYS be here for all of you. PLEASE don't be affraid to let us in and help where can. Love, Sally Glover
