Jacob passed way 10/31/24 from DIPG. My faith is still growing. I have read & followed Jacob’s witness of Jesus while going through treatment for 15 months. This is from his mom and her own feelings were described as blessed on her update. Beautiful Faith in Jesus while grieving. From Jacob’s mom: “Today I was looking at all the sweet memories we have on our refrigerator of Griffin, Ethan and Jacob, and one in particular caught my eye… It’s a note Grandma Karen gave to Jacob on Sunday, October 27, 2024.  Upon attending mass online, ￼she felt prompted by Our Holy Father to ￼write a letter summarizing the message for Jacob as it was SO applicable THAT day￼. Once written, she￼ ￼￼read it to Jacob while he held her hand and blinked lightly ￼a few times ￼once she was done reading it, letting her know he heard every word🖤￼He felt fully protected by His Savior…Our Savior. 😻😇✝️ Grandma details how Jacob was so peaceful, grateful, loved and SO loving, and filled with the Glory of God￼ at that moment while she read her letter to him. ￼Jacob exemplified everything in her note, which ￼she watched online of the Basilica of Saint Mary in Washington DC.  Praise God for that message that day.📷 Oh how timely and perfect this moment was￼. Jesus was preparing Jacob’s way. I’m so grateful and blessed that he has always been surrounded by love from so many people. God‘s plan was fulfilled, on October 30, and we had SO many unplanned visitors that morning.  Before Jacob passed, 10-12 of my Bible Study friends came to our home just 10 minutes before Jacob took Jesus‘s hand. They were all gathered in our room and in the living room praying. Plus our 2 dedicated hospice friends arrived at 9 AM.  How perfect HIS plan is✝️🙌😇🙏🖤. I am ￼grateful beyond words for the support we were able to receive as he transitioned to heaven. My other 2 sons were with us, and Ethan and I held Jacob for the 17 minutes it took his brain to shut down (plus a lot longer!), glorifying the beauty he was seeing, the love he felt, the peace that Jesus offers, so he could move into eternity with Grace, tranquility, peace and ￼beauty..🙌✝️🖤 I’m so grateful to have held him throughout his transition. All because God’s plan has already been made, and plays out exactly to His plan. Thank you Father for giving us protection and love even in the most difficult times.”
