I don't know if you check this any longer. It seems when I am having an especially difficult day and really missing Jacob, I am drawn to this site. Today is Noah's birthday and it just didn't seem right to have his party on Saturday without Jacob. We did because Noah has retreated into his world of video games and somehow we have to help him find his way back to being a little boy without his constant friend and companion. I was tempted to call and tell you how much I miss him but I didn't want to bring you down if you were having a good day. I think about Jacob daily and miss him so much. Our house is too quiet. I worry about all of you and love you like family. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers! As always, if I can do anything to help - call me! .... Vickie

I have never met your family, but I wanted you to know that our family is praying for yours. Our son, Jacob Allen, went to be with God the day after yours. There is a song that says that even if we could understand why God has taken them out of our lives, that the hurt would not go away. All we can do is hold onto Jesus so that we will get to be with them again one day. With our love and prayers, The Massa Family

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Engeler, I am Kim's cousin and was present when she received the phone call telling of the tragedy of your son's death. Our entire family stopped our Christmas celebration in progress and held hands to pray for you all. I know there are absolutely no words that will comfort you at this time, but I wanted you to know how many prayers are being lifted up for you and your family. I have heard of all of you many times from Kim and Dottie. There can be great comfort in the the strength of friends and I know you have the unfailing devotion of Kim and Richard and the boys. I lost my dad this past summer in a senseless incident, so I have a small bit of insight into what you are going through. The only thing that has been any comfort to me is the analogy of whether we cry because roses have thorns or rejoice because thorns have roses. It took me awhile to rejoice because God gave me my dad for so many years to love, rather than be angry because He took him away from me far too soon... and only on a really good day am I there now. Every year for the last thirty plus years I have written a happy, upbeat Christmas poem, but this year, with my dad's loss last summer and my grandmother's loss last year, I just couldn't find any happy words. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't put anything together. Finally I decided to quit fighting it and just let God write the poem, through me, however He saw fit. I can't say it's particularly upbeat, but I did find writing it helpful. I'd like to share a small portion of it with you in the hopes that it will be helpful in some small way. A Place in My Heart There's a place in my heart Where the yules long ago Still exist for me yet And comfort me so. I keep these collages Of memories warm Safe in my heart Where time cannot harm. I go to this place when My heart cannot find A reason to celebrate - A place in my mind. Each holiday's so hard With Mamaw not near, But to sight though she's lost In memory, she's here. And sweet "Duck", the dad That I loved from the start He's not lost to me now He's here in my heart...... ......But back to the present I must come at last My cup overrun with Sweet dreams of the past. When my heart is missin' My Mamaw and Duck I ask God to help me My courage to pluck To go on without them To touch and to hold For they had more value Than diamonds and gold. God grants me solace - Allows me to come To this place deep in mem'ry Where sorrow succumbs Where I see them all With my heart and mind's eye Where my loved ones missing Are quickly brought nigh Where we laugh and play As we did in days gone Where we scuffle and tease And each other egg on. Where days pass as minutes And years as short days Where those closest to us Are with us always. I cherish these mem'ries Hold fast in my heart And realize, by God's grace, We're never apart. Of all of the gifts you'll Be given this year Most blessed is the one Of your loved ones near. I so hope this will in some small way give you a bit of comfort in the loss of your dear child, Jacob. And I pray for all of you, especially Eric, who will have to bear this horrible burden the rest of his life. As a nurse who has worked in Hospice, I have seen many people, who, through no fault of their own, were somehow involved in another's death. And I have seen many who never got over it and even were never able to "get on with it." I have seen this intense grief and guilt destroy these gentle people and I hope that you will one day consider counseling for all of you, especially Eric. You may not be ready for it yet, but one day you may be and it can be so very helpful to those who are grief-stricken like yourselves. God Bless You all, Diana, Rodney, Eric and Alex, and the rest of your family. May God hold you in His loving embrace and give you peace and comfort. With Deepest Sympathy, Missy and Kelly Masterson

I think back to when we were growing up in Mountain Home and the great friendship we had. Although he lived a short life, it appears Jacob also had a best friend and enjoyed sports. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope and pray that God will give you the strength and serenity to help you cope with your loss. Although we have not always stayed in touch throughout the years, good friendships are forever. If there is anything I can do for you and your family, please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Quick

Kelly King Reynolds

Thursday, December 21, 2006

Diana, it has been so long since we have seen, or talked to one another. I am so sorry that our contact after 25 years is due to such a tragedy in your life. Words cannot explain how your family must be grieving, so I will not attempt to assuage that pain by mere words. Your darling son was taken much too quickly. Nothing can change that. Then, we cry. I have never had children, but I have several nieces and nephews, and they are central in my life. My house is named (by the children) the “We Love Aunt Kelly Club”. Wouldn’t you know I would be the eccentric aunt? But, Diana, I just cannot imagine losing any one of them, so my heart goes out to you. Please know that I am praying for you and your family in your time of sadness. God has been there for me when I was in my darkest hour, and I am alive today because of my faith in HIM. He will be there for you in quiet reflection. Yours in Christ, Kelly King Reynolds

Our hearts ache for you.Our prayers are that your family will find peace in our Lord's saving Grace and in knowing that you will all be together again in his Kingdom. Jacob is with his savior. "Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" Look for that light with your hearts when all your eyes see is darkness.
