Gone but never forgoten

Dear family of this loving, caring, and really funny kid named Jacob,
Jacob was one of a kind. I am in his Biology class and my name is Sarah R. I don't even have a clue of what you all are going through but i know, just like every other time one of my friends passed... it's not fun or easy. I cried for a long time just thinking about how/why this happeened. At the beguining of the year I heard from a few of his friends he had a crush on me. I cared for Jacob, but he obviously cared for me more. Since day one Jacob has brought me my binder in Biology, this just shows how nice he really is. I always will regret not talking to him more than I have. I was joking around with some of my friends the other day, telling them I was going to ask Jacob and not my boyfriend to the upcoming dance but I never would've thought I wouldn't see him again to share this. I want you all to know that what you had was amazing and I'm praying for you all everyday. and I am so sorry this happened. I always looked forward to his smile, him bringing my book, his goofy wave and his funny side comments on the leason. My biology name is Orange and if I remember right, he was the one that made that up. When someone calls me Orange I will be thinking about him. To you he's family and to all of us he is who we strive to be. You should be really proud of the great memories and good examples your son/ brother has left with us. We difinetly need more people like Jacob. I have siblings of my own and we are really close. The way he has described his family over time and in a recent poem he wrote in English class brings tears to my eyes. You all were so special to him and thats viewed from me as just a girl in one of his classes. I can tell you now Biology wont be the same. Some days will be better than others but I will never forget him. The empty seet can never be filled with something as great (not even something orange) and my binder will have to be delivered by myself knowing Jacob is nearby watching me do it. God has a plan and I know sometimes it doesn't seem like the best plan but something great is to follow. Keep Jacob close, and so will I because I promise you will meet again. But as it is written " What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him." (1 Corinthians 2:9)
love always, Sarah(orange)
