    There can be absolutely nothing harder than for a father and mother having to bury their own child...
    May God Bless you and watch over you and may He send you The Great Comforter as only He can for the days to come...

    I am so heartbroken over the loss of Jacob. I will cherish the memories of him in my class. I am sorry, I can’t come to honor him tonight or tomorrow. I had a procedure done at the hospital and I can’t come. Just know that y’all have been in my thoughts and prayers. I love him and his mom and dad. ♥️♥️♥️??????

    May God have mercy and peace on your family. No words can convey the sadness that is your loss. However the joy that is in Christ will carry you to the end. You will see Jacob again.
