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

Aloha Jib! I knew all along that you were with me and so I appreciate you validating that. As I continue to learn to live fearlessly, I do so knowing that it is with you and the Holy Spirit right at my side.
Freedom from pain, anxiety, uncertainty,and fear is the miracle we are guaranteed if we make the simple,right choice repeatedly...to seek the insight of the Holy Spirit.
I love you Jib and LiveAloha!

Jake -
the light you bless us with awakens a memory deep within us. We begin to remember of the face of Christ, the protection of the Holy Spirit and the endless love of God. As we struggle to find adequate words to give thanks; it stirs in us the sole desire to be One with Him and to find His love in one another.
I am humbly yours Jacob, dad

Aloha kakou,
Jacob made a lasting impression on me when I first met him at Kincaids. He was there on a KQMQ night to promote the Relay for Life. Since then, I have participated in doing massage fundraising and harp music at the Relays. I will raise money for American Cancer Society and Cancer Research Center of Hawaii. On October 13, 2007 I will be at ORIGINS, Ala Moana from 11-6 for chair massage and gift certificate sales. We will have pink balloons for breast cancer awareness month, a pink carnation puppy dog, pink cookies, and lots of people. Thanks for the opportunity to remember heroes like Jacob. If you come for a massage, please introduce yourself as a Honu Boy 'ohana. Your strength and spirit make me proud to help out. May God continue to sustain you with His grace.
me ke aloha pumehana,
Dustin Ebesu

Aloha Jib! I may be the big sister but you were the one with all the wisdom. Thank you for opening my eyes to so many things. As I take everything one day at a time and learn to avoid my ego, I am gaining the wisdom and peace you had. I am practicing being accountable for how my day is going and holding positive thoughts so they manifest. I know calling on our friend the Holy Spirit is the way to understanding and love. I have a lot to learn still Jib and appreciate you being with me every step of the way. LiveAloha,Paloma

Jake, A note to say thanks for your continued lessons that I keep learning. Things like patience, seeking to understand before being understood, loving those around you like there is no tomorrow and many others. The Relay was awesome as was our trip to Kauai where the turtles played in the water at Poipu Beach. I miss you Jake and although we are not in physical contact you are all around our family. A picture of you sitting on my lap at papa & grandma's house is on our fridge. Another sign of your presence. Love always. Uncle Gregg

Hi Jacob, it's been way too long since I visited your website and wrote to you. But I talk to you every single day, as you know, and that's where I feel more connected to you. Last night I was out staring at the stars in the beautiful night sky and saw 4 meteors...thank you for being so visible! You are always with me, always walking beside me, always encouraging me to stretch myself. I love you and miss you more than you could ever know...

Love you, handsome man...

Jacob -
as your light continues to illuminate our days, we become more and more aware of Jesus obvious love for us. You bring to light that there are no choices, just God. We are blessed to know that there is only God.
with all my love, gently, dad
