2 / Bahbi (godmommy)

I cant believe its been two years already... i remember the day you were born like it was yesterday with your mom driving me crazy for so many hours lol.  We all miss you so much i know mommy and daddy are having the hardest time right now especially around this time of the year.  Watch over them and your little brother.  SO FAR YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB!  I know you are their gaurdian angel.  I really cant believe that you are two.  Well i cant believe your brother is one.  I was thinkin the other day about how right now you would be driving your parents insane getting into everything enjoying your terrible twos.  I know we'd all give anything for you to drive us crazy.   We love you baby boy.  Continue to look out for the family and we will all see you again.  

Love you,  Godmommy

Jacobi Claud  / Aliscia McCannon (Friend from God )

You and your baby look happy and beautiful together.  He looks just like you I will pray for you and your family I can honestly say I know how you feel theres good days and bad days but never a day that he is not with you and on your mind. God bless you .  you will see your angel again one day.  But always remember he is in very good hands God is going to take very good care of him.  He is probably in Heaven playing with my son Tayler their probably riding white horses and playing with millions of toys.  remember he is always with you in your heart.  may God bless you with happieness.

a mother who has lost as well  / Jessica Itschner
i too lost my son to SIDS (may 5th 2006) and even though I'm a mother who is mourning I still can't imagine what you personally are going through.  We may all grieve differently, some days looking at pictures reminds us of our sweet babies and other days we just sit and blankly stare and ask 'why our child?'  My son passed away at exactly 8 weeks old and saying goodbye was, and will forever be, the hardest thing I will have to do.  When you have this child who is fully a miracle and brings so much joy, you don't think 'what if this was taken away from me'-- those thoughts are never present.  SIDS is so unexpected and unpredictable that anger is normal, frustration is normal and guilt is normal.  I will pray for you family, for us and for your little angel who is watching over you and proud of his mommy.

Small angel  / Kimberly Charity (Friend of Aunt Bahbi )
I am so sorry for your loss, and knowing that all children are Angels from heaven Sent to us from God. Know that
Your angel will return to you in God's time.
Just think of him as gone for the moment, 
he is sure to return to your life to fill the empty space that was left
when God called him home. Let the Love you experienced when you had him carry you forward until a time when you will experience that love again.
Blessings 
Kimberly. Close

Still thinking of you....  / Angela Brown (Mommy)

My dearest Jacobi,
         You were my first born son and I was the happiest I had been in a long time.  Although you gave me 12 hours of excruciating pain, it was all worth it in the end.....Cause before i knew it, you were in my arms. I remember looking down at you and thinking to myself, "I did this.  This little human being came from me."  All sorts of emotions ran through me that day and everyday after.  I never thought I could love a person as much as i loved you. My motherly instincts kicked in from day 1 and I automatically knew that you were first priority in my life now.  I dedicated myself to you.
         Now that you are gone, my days seem shorter and nights longer.  I haven't had any good rest since the day you went "home".  I sit and think about all the good times we shared.  Although you were only two months old, I still have memories of a lifetime with you.  I remember the first day you cooed at me and the first time I actually saw you smile.....you made mommy's heart melt.  Your sweet little cries when you were hungry or sleepy....oh! how I would give to have those moments back again.  Not once did I ever imagine that you wouldn't be with me.  But I am told that you are in a better place and that you have good people taking care of you....i believe it.  Son, don't forget mommy and don't think that mommy doesn't love you.  You are on my mind constantly everyday and I just keep telling myself that we will meet again someday.........

I Will Keep You in My Prayers  / Kristy Dexter (Friend of family )
Angie, I know that we haven't talked since I moved away, but I want you to know that you are in my prayers.  I know you are hurting right now, and you may not understand why Jacobi was taken away from you, but know that God does everything for a reason.  Take comfort in knowing that Jacobi is looking down in heaven on you, and one day you two will be together again.
Derek, I don't know you, but I know that you are hurting as well.  If you two ever need anything, or just want someone to talk to, or listen while you talk, never hesitate to call.  
I never got a chance to meet Jacobi, but I know he was a sweet baby.  Try to think  about the time he was in your lives, because that is a blessing in itself.  
I regret that we lost touch, but it won't happen again,and I love you both. Close

God's Little Angel  / Tameka Boyd-McKenzie (Stranger)
Looking at his pictures I see that Jacobi was a beautiful little boy.  My heart  goes out  to the both of you.  Just  know that  your baby  is in the safest place that he can be in now....with God and you will see him again one day.  My  thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Close

What a Beautiful Angel!!  / Vonetta Christian-Williams (Cousin)
Angela, I can't imagine what you're going through. I believe this is the hardest thing a mother has to endure. Jacobi was not tarnished by this evil world.. he went straight to heaven to sit next to God. I firmly believe in an afterlife, and I am sure you will see Jacobi again. As each day passes, know that Jacobi is not hurting.. we are the ones who have to stay behind and continue to press on. You are deeply loved, and you and Derek are in my prayers. Love your cousin, Vonetta Close

Grannie first  / Keisha Whitaker (grandmother)

Iremember when Derek told me my precious sweet pea had been born, Boy was I so excited. Remember he is my first grandson so u can imagine how good I felt. When Angie came to the house so I could see him, He was so small and fragile. He just looked at me as if he wanted to say I know this lady. She has a big mouth but I know who she is. Jacobi was and still is my pride and joy. I know he is with me in mind and spirit and he often says to me Grandma I am alright!!!!!. and I say back to him I know sweet pea I know. The love I have for him will NEVER END. The very last thing that sticks out in my mind is the last time I saw him I was talking to him and he smiled and cooed at me as if to say Again,  I know this lady right here and I love her with the loud mouth and all....... l LOVE U JACOBI GRANNIE'S SWEET PEA!!!!

Forgive Me Jacobi..... I took your life for granted....  / Aunt Yogi (Aunt)

My plea....

"MY" dearest Jacobi .... What can I say .... I remember that day at the hospital when you were born as well.  It was a crazy day for me, as I can imagine it was for you too.  I was struggling, trying to find a sitter, because the nurses wouldn't let your cousins in the delivery room (and your mother wasn't even delivering at the time).  Anyway, I found a sitter and was back in enough time to see you come join us on earth. What a joy! 
I truly think I was more excited than your mother, or anyone for that matter, to see you born.  Finally! You were the baby boy that I had been wanting the past three pregnancies! And when I saw your face, my immediate reaction was "He is beautiful!" As you know, not all babies are born attractive, but you were. Definitely. 
Anyway, I know you heard your mom, from the inside of her tummy, making all that fuss  while going thru labor.  Don't get it twisted though, your mom is one tough woman! I tried my best to stand by her side during those excrutiating hours. But while I was there, I couldn't help but think in my mind how much I was going to spoil you. Maybe not with materials (cause I ain't rich), but with everything else.  I was going to be your "favorite aunt"   But my best moment is when I held you for the first time. I cherish it. You were sooo tiny! And I remember you peeking at me with your little eyes. It was all just adorable. 
I'm sorry, but like many others, I just assumed that you would be here for many years. I assumed that I would have plenty of time to see you grow up and truly piss off your mother.  
And I feel horrible. Two months went by. Two Months! And I didn't even take a single picture with you. A picture with just the two of us. Bad Auntie, right? I just thought that I could take some with you later, and also some of you with your cousins. Because now I look at these pictures that everyone else has and I'm thinking, where's one of us?  I'm sorry, Jacobi. Just something that I feel. 
Your time here was extremely short. But I'm glad. You really wouldn't want to be living in a world like this anyway.  Take it from me. You're so much better off where you're at now.  But what puzzles everyone is "why?". Why you, and why so soon?  Maybe to strengthen someone's heart, reunite others, or even to prepare someone for something that is to come. Of course, only Our Father knows.
Just know this, Jacobi. You personally touched and even changed several lives and warmed the hearts of many others. Also know, that regardless of how I may have showed it, I love you and will continue to miss you as time passes.
