I will always remember my little cousin jacob who died at 8 days old.

I will always remember his little copper hair.

I will always remember his little angle wings.

I will always remember his precious wee face each day.

I will always remember his little cloud he sits on all day.

I will always remember the sound of his little harp he plays at night.

I will always remember his star in the sky shining bright.

You will always be in my heart jacob love your cousin mason.

Our darling wee nephew  / Lisa Coombs (Aunty)
This time last year was a very emotional time for us all and something I have stuggled to come to terms with all year. 
We wish with all our hearts that you could still be here with us. Just to have given you a cuddle at least once would have been something I would have treasured the rest of my life. I can't believe a whole year has gone by already it can at times still feel like it was yesterday and at other times it can seem like years ago. 

Summer and Willow still talk about you when they see your picture in a frame, they miss you too Jacob.

You have two wonderful sisters that love you dearly and five awesome cousins that would have loved watching you grow.
Your mummy and daddy were very sad today and miss you dearly!
We all miss and love you very much 
Forever in our hearts 
Our Angel Jacob

Message for you Jacob  / Tania Smythe (Mommy)

Hi Jacob, One year ago today i held you i my arms for the first and last time.
To watch you lying in neo-natal and not being able to hold you was so hard for me, all i wanted to do was pick you up, give you a cuddle and a kiss and make everything better for you.
I have relived every moment of your eight precious days you spent with us and it still only seems like yesterday that you were with us.
I will never stop loving you nor will i ever forget you.
You are my son and nothing can ever change that, even though we can not be together.
But one day when mommy has finished her time here, it will then be time for us.
 Your sister Hannah misses you so much and has been writing stories about you at school (she is so clever at writing now). She has made mommy proud of the way she is coping with your death, Hannah likes to talk to the sky and have conversations with you also. 
I could write a thousand words to you right now and still not express everything i feel.
So i'll end this with I LOVE YOU  
Mommy xoxo

WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE BECOMES A MEMORY... THE MEMORY BECOMES A TREASURE... Close

Precious Baby Boy  / Nichole Cavote (Mommy to John Thomas Cavote )
I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy. My baby boy passed in January and it is still so hard I am sure as you know, it has been longer for you. Know matter how long it has been though the pain is still the same. It just gets more bearable. We never forget that is for sure. If you ever need to talk I am here. I hope God comforts and has comforted your family like he has mine. I will keep you and my family in my prayers. Close

Always Blessed  / Marie Lindsey (none)
I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss. I know that there will be a day that you and your family will be with Jacob again some day. God says that we will raise our babies in heaven when we get there and Jesus made it so.   I also lost a baby, her name is Nichole.She was born with half her heart,we were blessed with her here on earth for 3 days. I also have lost my son Lucas in an accident last year,he was 26.    We knever know when God calls them home, only He knows the whys . I do know that I will see my babies when I go home and my God and Jesus will be there also waiting. So take heart and remember that Jacob is waiting for all of you and to celebrate his life here for he was and is a gift form heaven. God bless all of you always, Marie Close

Happy Birthday  / Mommy To Angel Jesse Rees Barnett
I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family.  I know today had to be a hard day for you all.  I am so sorry for your loss.  You little baby Jacob was a gorgeous baby!  Sometimes it seems like we live in such a cruel world that precious babies have to suffer and die - it's just not fair!
May God bless you richly and may he provide you and your family with new strength every day!
Love and Prayers! Close

Happy Birthday wee fella.  / Colin Head (Daddys friend )
Hi Jacob,

   It breaks my heart to know how much you were wanted, but couldn't stay. These sort's of things are not ours to understand, but this knowledge doesn't make it any easier. Keep searching for the "Rainbow Connection", buddy, and one day Mummy and Daddy will be there to help you find it. Sleep easy Jake.

                                           With much love

  and cousin

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB Close

18th October 2006 Happy birthday Jacob  / Tania Smythe (Mummy)
Why God takes the little ones
I swear i'll never know
You had so much life to live
It just wasn't time to go.

For comfort, now, I think of you
With tiny little wings
Up above, in a beautiful place,
listening to angels sing.

You'll never know the pain I feel
The hurt you left behind.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to hold you one more time.

I carried you in my womb,
Then i carried you in my arms
And now, until it no longer beats
I'll carry you in my heart Close

Promise me this Jacob....  / Jacqui Walker (Mummy's Friend )
Jacob,
I would like to tell you something about your mummy.
I have known your Mum for such along time and know how she and your Daddy and your little sister Hannah, were looking forward to you coming into this world. Your mum is the strongest person I know. She loved you so much and enjoyed every minute of you being in her world. Your Mum had so much love to give to you, this has not changed even though you are not here with her in body. She will always feel you with her and love you always.
I know that you miss her too and she knows that.
You will notice that she will talk to you as you grow, in another place that is not here. You need to listen to her as she knows how much you need her and she will never stop loving you.
Please do me a favour though Jacob you need to give your Mum a big hug and never let go..... Hugs and kisses wee man. Close

So Precious  / Lisa Knapman-Smith (friend to Lisa )
      I followed Jacobs story very closey on treasures sending love and thoughts thru his birth, his life, his operation and then sadly his passing. 
Jacob along with Tamara's boy Logan and my girl Eden opened the eyes to many that this is not a perfect world and not to take life for granted.

Life is not measured in the breathes we take but the moments that take our breathe away. Close

to my son  / Darryl Ogilvie (daddy)

Jacob there is not a day that passes when I don't think of you and what you meant to me.
That day when i found out about your condition my heart sank, I could see it in your mummy's eyes. I didn't think we could go through with it, but i'm so glad we did.
That week I spent with you was the best thing that could happen to me, you made me realise what a family is all about and for that i thank you.
I would have done anything to keep you, I thought of all the things we would miss out on as you grew up, things that fathers and sons would do and also as a family, with your two lovely sisters and your mummy.
I do wish you were still here with that copper hair, but you will always be in my heart.
Love you lots and lots, Daddy xoxo

A parents love  / Lisa Beale (auntie)
A parents love is something that no one can explain. It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain. It is endless and unselfish and induring come what may for nothing can destroy it or take that love away... 
It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, and it never fails or faulters even though the heart is breaking...
It belives beyond believing when the world around condemns, and it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems...
It is far beyond defining, it defies all explantion, and it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation ...
A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand and another wonderous evidence of gods tender guiding hand.  Close
