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

As I watched the webcast of the Celebration on the Hill in Washington, D.C. I was reminded of your strength and courage and the impact you continue to have on the world. I am honored and humbled to be Jacob's mom. I know you are ever present and we will continue to share your story of courage and hope.
Love, Mom

Thanks, Paloma and Lani, for sending the link about the events in Washington. We're so glad Jacob was honored in this way. We think of Jacob every time we see a honu. Went to Scripps acquarium a couple of weeks ago in La Jolla.

Love, Tina and Jerry

Jakey,
You once said "Today is all that matters."
You remind me each day to be in the moment: to feel my passion for teaching, to be caring today to those I encounter because we don't know what tomorrow brings, to forgive and continue loving, and the list goes on.Thank you for another lesson in living life fully.I love you and always feel you with me.LiveAloha.

I was able to visit the first week of December, 2006. It was hard toi see young Jacob in bed and unconscious. But it was good to see his brothers and sister there with his parents supporting him in his final struggle on earth. I know in my heart that he is in heaven. His words of hope and perseverance could not come from someone who was not right with the Lord. I pray for Jake and his family every week and I hope we all heal from our pain of loss and rejoice in the good memories of Jacob and the knowledge that we have a friend in Heaven as he smiles down upon us.

Jake,

Our visit to Hawaii showed you in the hearts and faces of your (our) entire family. Your spirit is everywhere. From the hike in Moanalua to the beach (and Honu's) at Laniakea to the beach at Laiki to the fireworks and parade on the 4th, The Relay and the conversations. We are blessed each day to have you in our lives. Thanks for strength. Love and aloha, Uncle Gregg, Auntie Ann, cousins B,T,A and Big E.
