This past monday I lost a good friend to cancer; he was 47. He was one that I had partied with for a long time; thank G-D we both had stopped that fiasco. However, that ex-life still took Him. I feel that my fate will be similar. He was a good man. A heart of gold, and of a lion. a hard worker, and cherished his family. It was a great honor for him to consider me as a friend, and to be one of his palbearers was a privlige, but this hurts real bad.
All he knew was traditional Christianity, and followed it well. Not a self-rightous one at all, he lived it by the little things, helping people, and just being there. He installed a new air conditioning system for me, and I had to argue with him a bit on the price, I felt his price was too low, I got him to take $100 bucks. I will miss his hilarious comments about things, he indeed had a way with words.
AS a testament to his character the number of people who showed up for the wake and funeral was staggering; he was loved by so many.
AS pallbearers we went ahead of the hearse, my wife and I had the honor of being the first vehicle ahead of the hearse. As we topped a long hill,
the line of cars with lights on were still topping the last hill. I wept.
I do realize that he had probably finished what he was here for, and it was time to move on. The world is indeed a lesser place without him.
This has forever changed me. I must allow this to change me for the better. I will honor him with that. But it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Friday I had my head over in a Expedition working on a cooling problem, and it hit me like a sledge-hammer, this had been going on all week, and still is.
Please pray for us all, Mainly his wife and sons, Angie, Matt, and Joel
Shalom Alachem James Jacobs, untill we meet again
