Angie I have no words to offer to ease your heart at this time, I do not think there could be any. I’ll say this ,you have your memories in your soul, use them like soft cloth to wipe a tear, share them to provide light in the dark, allow them to replace pain with comfort, anger with calm and grief with peace. I love youÂ
So sorry for your loss – our prayers are with you.

Please know that very soon those tears of grief will be replaced with tears of joy as you welcome back your loved one in the resurrection. We hope these words bring a measure of hope.Â

My heart hurts for you and family
Rip sweet Jacob. My prayers are with y’all. Jacob is in heaven and he is okay. He is your guardian angel now. Always stop the signs he is with you. Love y’all!!!!
Oh sweet sweet son….you had no idea the lives you e impacted. The service was sad, way too sad for any father to go through, but there were a bunch of people there. And I miss you so much I don’t even know what to do. I cry every chance I get. When I think I’m running out of tears, I find more. I can’t wait to hug you again! I will take care of Mimi and pappy. My loving son😥😥.
My sweet Jacob, no words can adequately describe the pain in my heart. It’s totally broken and will never be quite the same again. I miss you, sweetheart. We all miss you. I visit your gravesite often and am in awe as I watch the blue jays fly from tree to tree above you. I’ve put night lights around you and continually whisper that I love you. I can easily see you in our Savior’s arms. I know that he has wiped your tears and healed your pain. Whatever your suffering was is no longer. I can only imagine that your Pappy Ray and Grandma Jean met you as you entered our Lord’s Kingdom. I am certain that Pappy Ray was awaiting you at the gate. I just know he was! Jacob, my sweet boy, know that you may be gone from this life but you will never be forgotten.
Love you always and forever, Mimi
My heart still aches knowing you’re gone. I try and visit you as often as I can. Even though you’re always watching over me it still hurts knowing you’re not HERE with us. Prayers are always going out to you and your family,Jacob Michael. Not a day goes by where not one of us thinks of you; you’re always on someone’s mind. I wish you knew the impact you made on our lives. We all miss you even if we don’t show it. I love you and hope you’re okay up there. God has you now, and I promise he won’t let go :)♥ï¸ðŸ’™
Andrea, I wish you would give me a call. I would love to talk to you.Â
