    John and Becky, We were so sorry to learn of Jacob's death. Our hearts were saddened by the tragic news. Our first memory of him was when your family moved to Florida and we met all of you. We can remember his smiling face and childish joy. We love you guys and you will be in all our thoughts and prayers.
