For those of you connecting with Jacob's page, especially friends from Spain, we wanted to share some photos of our recent trip that reminded us of Jacob's time there and reminded us he was with us every day. We followed most of his itinerary that we found when we discovered his journal from the trip all written in Spanish.

him extra money as he was having too
much fun at the discoteque

Hey there SUNSHINE, you haven't been shining in Hawaii for awhile, you are on other journies elsewhere. Here in Nevada we had snow for the first day of spring.I went out to put a paintng into my car,and little snow flurries were falling on my velvet jogging suit. I looked up to the skies and thanked god and all of you who are at his side. What a beautiful thing. Jacob thank you for enlightening me to live and enjoy and to be thankful for a great family I have and all my friends. There is not a day that passes by that you are not thought of or talked to, as you know. Thanks for listening Jakey. Love you Aunty Lisa

Jakey, thank you for my beautiful birthday with the honus and the sketch to remind me to always kokua. It has been the things left unsaid that I have cherished, thank you for understanding that I was not strong enough to say or hear them just yet. Thank you for your strength and guidance. I know that I fall short of your vision for me sometimes, but now it's your turn to pray for a miracle :)
You know how much I love you and miss you and how I look forward to your visits!
Happy belated St. Patrick's Day and I look forward to celebrating your birthday with you- April Fools ;)
We have barely just begun this journey, me and you, so sit back, relax and enjoy the ride....

Hi my sweet Jacob, I'm always so touched by the beautiful messages on this website. In your last couple of months here in this plane, you told me that you didn't want to die because you hadn't done everything you wanted. But look at all the people you touched!!! Look at the lives you changed! You did so much more than you ever knew! I hope you can see that now. What a view you must have. I miss you so much that some days I just don't even know what to do. So I come here and read these messages and have a good cry. That's what I'm doing right now. I love you, Jacob!

Jake, I think of you daily and was drawn to this site at work today. I find it wonderful that we talk of your life, illness, gifts, strength and lessons that you taught many people. I remember talking with you one night and saying that you were my hero. You said that was funny cause your dad said the same thing the night before. It is never more true than today. We wish we had one more day with you on this earth. Thanks for watching over us. We can't wait to run into the ocean at Papa and Grandma's beach knowing the honu's are with us. Love, Uncle Gregg.

I wanted to wish you a Happy V-Day, but I was in bed for a few days,and then had to catch up on work, and I don't have a computer at home hooked up still as I am on one 8 hr.s a day at work. I wanted you to know the sunsets have been so beautiful this past week and as I drive home nightly Logan and I see the sun going down over the mountains and thank you for shining down upon us. The moon has been so bright.On my B-day it was a harvest moon I knew you were with me as I was sick and lonely. Thanks for being there to talk to.You have the best smile Jakey, as I have your picture up at work and ofcourse you are all over our house.Thanks for all your love. Love your Aunty Lisa

Jake,
I know I wasn't there alot physically, but i know you knew in your heart that i was there with you every moment you had in your life. i can't help but look at my son and think of you everytime he is pretending to be a super hero or a army guy. your youth and love of being youthful has been passed on to my son from you. i will never look at your drive way the same. I will always remember that is where my childhood friend lives forever. You will forever be a part of my life and i will think of you everytime i look at that tattoo i have on my back.....Long Live the HONU! Love always Dezerae

Jacob, You will always continue to bring a smile to my face when my thoughts wander to warm memories of times spent together. I know my prayers were answered when God gave you a new and healed body. He chose not to give you a new body in this world, but for eternity in heaven. My continued tears are of deep sadness of losing you in this life, but also of joy because I KNOW you are in a wonderful place. Thank you for sharing your love and life with me. I am honored. I look forward to an awesome reunion in heaven.

You light up my life. Our Lord told us we would do greater things than these. You knew that at such a young age. Incredible.
