Debbie:
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I wasn't fortunate enough to know Jacob, but I know the loss of a child is the hardest thing you'll ever go through.
Although we haven't been in touch through the years, I remember you as a child and your wonderful parents, along with your sweet brother, Jimmy, who was my classmate.
May God wrap his loving arms around you and your family and bring you all peace and comfort during this difficult time.
With love from all the Lunsford family.

Debbie,
I see in my mind Jake and Jeff as first graders and giggling in the classroom. They were buddies from day one and remain buddies as they grew into young men. Jake was so talented and sweet, always smiling. Paul and I thought of him as an extra son and loved him dearly. I wish I could ease your pain Debbie. Please know we are here if you need us.
God Bless Adam, Meghan, and you in your time of grief.
Paul and Ynette

My sweet Jacob: Heaven is just a lot brighter now with that beautiful smile you always had and I am sure beyond a doubt that you have already had all the other angels laughing. You will always be loved and never forgotten and I hope that now you can sleep peacefully wrapped safely in the arms of the angels and watch over all of us as we all struggle to come to grips with our loss. I will never forget you were always going to marry me when you got older. I love you always and forever. Aunt Fairy
MEGAN and ADAM: I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful brother. I know the pain is devastating. Jacob was a wonderful brother, uncle and friend. We will always help you keep his memory alive for Cohen and Jax. Much love and hugs...Grammy/Fairy
