Oh Jacob, I still miss you so much. I had such a short time to minister to you and your passing made me even more willing to reach others as I did not know where you were. I had such a hard time after you were gone. You loved me because I was kind to you and I loved you with only the love that God had given me. I'm sorry that I got so busy that I didn't connect with you before you passed. I didn't hear of your passing until after Winter Break, a few weeks after, when Mr. Kingery told me. I miss you. Your birthday is coming up and I do wonder what you would be doing at 20 years old. My life has changed so much since we last saw each other.

So sorry we didn't communicate earlier.....
Can't imagine the loss you've gone through - - - he was so young and full of promise. We feel so blessed that we were next door neighbors and we had the opportunity to spend time with Jacob.

Thinking about you both at this difficult anniversary.

Hopefully we'll be able to reconnect the next time you're in Palm Desert.

To the family of Jacob I am so sorry for your loss. Both my youngest son and my middle son went to El Camino with Jacob. When they told me I was in tears. He was a very polite person and always had a bright smile that would brighten anyone's day. Both my son's knew him and always talked to him. Both of them are taking this very hard. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Anthony Funaro

To Jacob,
I don't have the words to describe how I feel, but you always knew how hard it was for me to get my thoughts out. You have always been here for me, on my good days and especially when I was down and I could never repay that to you. I wish I could hear your voice again, see your eyes light up brighter than the sun could ever shine, watch as your smile stretched across your face like the happiest man in the room. I love you with all of my heart and I wish that that could have been enough. I hope beyond hope that you are in the heavens as you are meant to be. I miss you and I'm so sorry.
I love you, K
