Jacob,
I know that we don't know each other very well, but you were very important in my brothers life, and what I do know about you is that you are a great person and that you are well loved. This isn't the end, and one day we will be able to hang out in heaven.

It was a pleasure knowing Jacob and getting to work with him in both the classroom and athletics. I will miss his sense of humor in the classroom. He always kept us laughing. My sincerest sympathy and prayers are with your family.

An emptiness and ache no one wants to experience and won't go away until that glorious day when those who believe in our Lord Jesus will see Jake and Keith again. They are experiencing things we can't even imagine - their joy is unspeakable. We all grieve our loss and their parents' pain but rejoice for Jake and Keith's homegoing. Come soon, Lord Jesus!

Jacob was a great individual. He was the sincerest man I knew and I would trust his ability to act on what was right and just. He was straight forward and wasn't afraid to speak his mind. He was one of those people you could trust your life with which is a characteristic many don't possess. He is in our thoughts and memories and will certainly not be forgotten. R. I. P. Jacob

Mulberry family,
I do not know your family but heard of the accident through friends.
As a parent, I cannot imagine the pain you must be going through.
I am heartbroken for you, and have been praying for God's comfort
for your family. It is quite evident that Jacob and Keith were two
amazing young men and will be two of the most beautiful angels
in heaven. God bless you all.

On behalf of David's Burgers, we would like to extend our condolences to the Mulberry family. Jacob lit up our restaurant with his smile and personality. He was a hard working young man. He always hustled and provided a great example. His positive attitude was contagious. Jacob displayed a sweet heart and humble service. We are proud to have Jacob in the David's family. We will miss him. Heaven is a better place with him in it. We will be praying for your family during this time.

Larry & Sheryl,
We are so saddened to hear about Keith & Jacob. What fine young men they were in our church. Our daughter, Lauren, has fond memories of Jacob helping out in her class at PNO. She said he was always so funny and so much fun to be around. Each of us remember both of them always being involved at church, and always helping out. We have been praying for your family and will continue to do so.
Love,
Pat & Teri Murphy

Jacob - no one who ever came in contact with you, even if it were for the briefest of moments, could resist your contagious personality. I loved you dearly, as if you were one of my own, and will never forget you. You will live on forever in the hearts of our youth group and in my family. See you in Heaven.

Larry and Sheryl,
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for raising such a polite, fun-loving, joyous young man. I will sure miss hearing him say, "Mrs. G, can you facebook mom to remind me to do that when I get home." I will miss him and his contagious smile. I am proud for you that you can say he is in God's hands now.
With much love and prayer!

Jacob was the nicest guy. And 3rd period English class will not be the same. He would be reading then he would fall asleep, then start snoring class and we ALL would laugh.
