My deepest sympathies to Jacob’s family. I had the pleasure of knowing Jacob in an after school program he attended two years ago. What a gem! He was bright, spontaneous, creative and kind to others. He will not be forgotten.
May God continue to keep you and your family close. My prayers will continue for you.
My deepest sympathies Charlotte and Dan.
As the father of a seven year old boy and a four year old boy it saddens me tremendously to know that Jacob is gone. I am so sorry for your loss.
Words cannot express our sorrow for you. Although we did not know Jacob, we do know that Jacob brought immense happiness into the lives of his grandparents, (our friends) Bill and Virginia. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Charlotte, Dan, family & friends,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the tragic loss of your beautiful and innocent son, grandson, brother, and friend. We are here to support you now and forever.
We are deeply sorry for this tragic loss in your family. We can’t know your sorrow. In our own way, we share in the mourning of Jacob’s passing and in the profound sense of grief that overcomes us when we lose a loved one. Dan, Charlotte, and Eli: When a friend’s comfort is what you need, please know we will be one of many who will come to your side. Jacob’s life was a blessing and we are honored to help celebrate his life and to remember the many ways he touched and brought joy to those who loved him.
Jacob, you were a wonderful kid filled with tons of love and creativity. I will miss you.
Dear parents and family of little Jacob,
I was so saddened to read about the tragic loss of your precious young son, Jacob. As a mother, i can only imagine your pain.
We may wonder why? or if their is anything to look forward to?
Jesus well knew the Bible statement:” Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all”[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that
sometimes bad things just happen.
The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29.
Revelation 21:3,4 states that in the future ‘ death will be no more. and pain
will be no more, the former things will have passed away.’
Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today and we will be able to welcome back onto the paradise earth,our loved ones who have fallen asleep
in death.
As you read the above texts in your Bible, may they comfort you now and in the future.
sincerely dianne mullins
Jacob – We miss you and wish you were still here. I know god will keep you safe in heaven.
