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

Jacob,
You help me remember to be a voice for those that can't speak out. It's time for whales - see you on the ocean.
A piece of my heart remains with you.
Love, Mom

Aloha Jib, I have two things I want to share. First, a quote from Abe Lincoln that reminded me of you.
He said this, " It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.".

Thank you for being a constant reminder of living and loving everyday.

Secondly, I wanted to share a Cowboy's Fan story with you that your familia in El Paso shared. I knew you'd like it. It is called The Ultimate Cowboy Fan.
John Elway,after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven,God was showing him around.They came to a modest house with a faded Broncos flag in the window."This house is yours for eternity,John," God said. "This is very special;not everyone gets a house up here." John felt special,indeed,and walked up to his house.On his way up the porch,he noticed another house just around the corner.It was a 3-story mansion with a Silver and Blue sidewalk,a 50ft.flagpole with an enormous Cowboys logo flag,a Cowboy logo in every window,and a Tony Romo jersey on the front door. John looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful but I was an all pro QB,won 2 Superbowls,even went to the Hall of Fame." God said, "So what's your point John?" "Well, why does Tony Romo get a better house than me?" God chuckled, and said "John, that not Tony's house, it's MINE."

Jib, I knew you'd love it, and boy wasn't that a great game they had last weekend!! You and your teams are on a roll!!
I love you! LiveAloha.

Jakey, they was all asking me at the Judd's if the Warriors had the game 'in the bag' with one quarter to go -- I told 'em, "eh, neva mine, Jakey took care of it already" You are a continual inspiration -- so glad I'm cloaked in your aloha.

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
