I was just looking at Jacob's web site and at how beautiful he is. He and Allee left for Heaven the same day. I know how much you must miss him. We miss so many things about Allee. Mostly her laughter and smile. But she hadn't done that for a while. I miss her but she is at peace now. I know her and Jacob and all of the others are up there having a wonderful time while they wait for us. I feel like we were so blessed to be these angels parents while they were here on Earth for their short time. You can tell by looking at him in the pictures that he was very loved and happy. My prayers are with you. Take care.

Robert and Miqelle. I am so sorry to hear about Little Jacob. He such a handsome boy and will continue to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our God is an awesome and he will take care of Jacob and your wonderful family. Your a trooper, provider, mother and father, and loving family. I know that this is such a hard situation to go through after hearing yesterday that my little boy has about 80% chance of having this disease. My condolences are with you and your family. God Bless, Christy Beyer.

Bob and Miqelle, I know that we spoke briefly when Alyson and I came down to visit you this past weekend, but I wanted to let you know just how saddened I am by your loss, and how much I admire your valor and strength. I have only been a part of the family for a few short years, but I have been touched by Jacob and the rest of your family in ways I'll never forget. Even though he had a chronic illness, Jacob always smiled, laughed, and emanated such a penetrating warmth from his little body, that all those surrounding him couldn't help but feel and welcome its comforting effects. He truly was a fighter, and it is inconceivable to me even now, how such a young person can stare something of that nature sternly in the face, and remain as happy as he was to the end. When I think of how much the two of you did for Jacob, and how un-teetered you have remained over the years, I am completely awed. You two, along with Jacob, reaffirm my desire to become a pediatrician. I can only hope that I'll be able to bring even a fraction of the compassion I've learned from you into my life as a physician one day. So, I know that this is a difficult time for you, and you must be showered with condolences and well wishes, but I wanted to let you know that I'll always be here if you need anything. You're all in my prayers. Love, Your new cousin Gary

Dear Family: I am so sorry for your loss. A very dear little boy in my life passed away on Thursday from Niemman-Pick by the name of Kyle. He lived to be 14 years old and was one of the most courageous children I have ever met. I hope you find comfort in knowing that your little angel is with God and can now enjoy eternity. God bless you. Donna Leclerc

Our dear Jacob... Hold on little man, hold on Your short time here has gone. A lifetime of love you gave us all Hold on dear tight and march most tall. Beyond the clouds, beyond the stars The gifts you gave will heal my scars. I held you close on your first day The pain today, so far away. Colorado nights, they sang you to sleep Mom and dad, and a fireplace seat. News of worry, of disbelief Came through the line igniting our grief. Come see our home Come live your life With all who love you Strangers alike. You taught us well, there is no doubt How to be strong, how not to give out. Hold close your people, all have been taught Hold close the time, hold close our thoughts. As far away as you may be I know you're there and hearing me. Hold on like we, continue to teach Hold on JQ, our hearts you reach... All my love, Uncle Mark

Dear Robert and Miqelle, It was with great sadness that we heard about Jakey. I had tried very hard to get to the visiting hours last night as I knew I would be unable to get to the funeral today. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get out of the hospital early enough. All of us know how hard your worked to keep Jacob well, and how much you cared for him. We were all touched by his smile and personality. We know he is well now, more free, and will always be watching over us. Our greatest sympathies and wishes are with you. Fondly, Craig Lapin and the Pediatric Pulmonary Division Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
