Jean Larson-great aunt on December 21, 2009 at 04:58 PM said: Little Jacob had to fight from day one of his short little life. He showed more stamina during his treatments than I have seen adult people stand. Just recenlty I receieved a new knee recently and whenever I had a pain I remember the smiling face of Jacob who made whole room smile just by one smile from him. This child will be sorely missed but my sister-Jacob's grandmother- said today is that Our parents were probab;y there to take Jacob by the hand to see the Lord. Jacob you tell great grandpa & grandma we miss you all and will see you soon.
