On September 30, 2006 we said goodbye to Jacob at a private family service at Christ Church Cemetery on Saint Simons Island, Georgia. Later, we held a public memorial service where over 700 people were in attendance. In this video, Michael (Jacob and Raleigh’s dad and my husband) says goodbye to Jacob.

I will never forget this day and you
A day that we barely remember because we were in such a fog, but the video brings it all back.
A beautiful family of 4!
I will never forget that day but specifics are so hazy. I totally forgot you guys had gotten up to speak. It’s a beautiful reminder to live THIS day because tomorrow is far from promised.
The day was a complete fog for us. So thankful it was captured on video. Have you noticed that I posted pieces of the memorial service on Jacob’s memorial website? Your part is posted there. You knew your second brother very well. I loved the things you said about him. So true!
