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.

Hi Jake -
you know we're waiting anxiously for the birth of Makani! She too will be a bringer of light like her Uncle. Your light gives us the sight to recognize the difference between the what has meaning and what doesn't. When one can see that difference it is so much easier to remebmer that we are sustained by God's eternal love. We can feel His presence within us, strong, unchanging and peaceful.
with Oceans of Love, yo dad

Aloha Jib, you know this already and probably knew it all along...I know what I need now to do His will. Thank you for guiding my mind, heart, spirit and words. With you and the Holy Spirit, I know all things are possible especially when done with LOVE.
FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE...the greatest of these is LOVE (thanks for teaching me this).

Jake -
As you know Son I'm a slow learner. But with the ever growing light I'm beginning to see. Choosing to remember that our holiness is His will brings us vision. We begin to understand that we are here to here to bless, to comfort and to heal.
You are our gift of light Son.

Dear Family and Friends of Jacob,
What a blessing you had on earth with Jacob. I didn't know him but I know he was so dear to his family. My daughter too is a lover of the ocean and the sea turtles. One time she and her Dad were surfing and found a large sea turtle with ropes and a milk jug wrapped around it so it couldn't go under water. They plopped it up on the board and freed it from the ropes. I can only imagine your pain but I'm so thankful you have the great memories. You know he is so special to our Lord if he is so loved by you. God is always with you. A Friend in Christ

Dearest Jacob, I find myself reflecting on my childhood quite abit lately. As you know I am back on Oahu, and very close to your home. I came back to be closer to my parents and help your mom out as she has been through so much. I wish you could knock some sense into my parents for them to accept help from me, but grandma seems to not want visitors for too long. So I give them their space as it once got to be a real problem. Today I went over there to drop off my mountain bike. This way I can go over there spend some time and go ride, or walk the beach. Then return to checkl on them. They are not doing too well. It is hard to watch someone age, yet harder to watch someone die. I want to thank you for your love and continued spirit that is over me. Since your passing you have helped me in the fight againsit my drug addiction. i am thankful to be alive, and thankful for my family. Oh we were glad you were at the weddings, weren't they wonderful. I am very greatful for my life and miss you lot's. Keep smiling and shining down on us all. God Bless you very much. Love your Aunty Lisa

Jakey,

Your neice is a little Ninja Turtle already. She is so active in her mommy's belly, kicking and punching, rocking and rolling. She'll be here soon and we'll be telling her all the best Uncle Jake stories.

Love you bro,

Now maybe you can tune my ear, it's almost tin. Lea would sure appreciate it!

I try to tell Lea about you every day in different ways.

To anyone reading Jacob's page, we have sad news about a turtle being slaughtered at Laniakea. The honu (green sea turtle) was so special to Jacob, this breaks our hearts. We pray that the perpetrator will be brought to justice, and ask that you share with others the urgent need to educate this generation and the next about protecting our environment, our world. We are all connected.
Aloha, Lani

Aloha Jib,
In missing you a lot lately, I came to understand even more that we are One. I realized and appreciate that you are with me always, we were never apart... I know you already knew that ;) . Thanks for being patient and continuing to show me, in every way you could, that we are One. Faith, hope and love...the greatest of these is LOVE.
