I thought things could not get worse ,however on the 12/12/24 i found my Son Jacob dead . i cannot begin to express in words the pain and anguish we feel at this time. Death comes to all but to loose a 32 year old is unexpected , i hope our hearts will heal as we remember the joy he brought into our lives, God bless.
