A Child Never Forgotten

Jacob.
our heart was broken
without a warning no words spoken
you were taken away
someone said you could not stay
empty and lonely is what we are
we lost a precious shining star
our family torn apart
your world began with a promising start
life is unfair
this difficult cross we must bear
strength and courage we will find
our special child always in our mind
a place in heaven is where you sit
looking at that star you lit
in our thoughts forever you will be
never knowing why someone set you free
Jacob I'm sorry I did not get to see you the last time you were in New Jersey. : (
I know will meet again someday
and I will be able to find you right away cause you will be the one with the biggest smile there!!!
I love you Jake.... Give Grandpa Glen & Grand Mother Nicolina A huge hug for me. Thanks buddy
This should be a real wake-up call for us all. Don't put off until tomarrow what you can do or say today. Grab your children, grandchildren, parents, anyone you love, hug them, kiss them and make sure they know how much you care. I know that Jake is safe and at home with our dear Lord. You will be sadly missed, who will eat all Aunt Missy's Christmas dinner! You have truly taken a piece of our hearts with you. We love you!!!!!!!
u used to always make me smile in classes and even in the halls. u are greatly missed by everyone who ever was graced with your presence
Jacob, It has been just over a week since I last saw you. I can't explain the huge loss I feel knowing our time together has ended. I wanted to watch chase your dreams. I always knew you could do anything with those smarts. No one could have predicted this. The only thing that I have to smile about is the thought that you are with Grandma Nicolina and Grandpa Glen. I know they will be happy to have you by there side in heaven. I will see you again son. Until then don't ever forget I LOVE YOU!
Glen, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. May time & memories help ease the pain.
After having Jacob as a young student, I learned what a darling personality he had. He was a smart boy. He always came out to the end of his driveway when I rode by, and wanted me to tell him all about my horse. He would speak very proudly of his family, Grandma, Dad, Michelle, Megan and cousins. I always left him thinking, "What a nice boy"! Jacob will always be a fond memory of mine. He was loved by so many, including me. I hope he knew that!
Jacob, You will be truly missed you were taken from us to soon. We love you and we will never forget you. You are my little cousin and it is so sad that we will miss chances with you.
You will always be in our thoughts Jacob. Love you
Tracy, Words cannot ease your pain as your family lays Jacob to rest. Please know that you have all of my prayers, love and support.
We had some pretty good times in history class freshman year. and always a good time messing around in our other classes. You always made life a little more interesting. You'll always be missed.
Jacob Arrowood, you were one amazing boy. I went to your funeral tonight and I couldn't stop crying. I heard you thought you had no friends, well tonight Jake, we proved you wrong. There were so many people there tonight just for you. It was so hard seeing your family having to go through this but it was your time I guess. I won't forget the first time meeting/seeing you at Wausau East my freshman year. Megan was my best friend and you were her big brother and you seemed like a cool guy and from all the stories I heard you were. You will be dearly missed by all of us. Make sure you keep an eye out for Megs, she needs you now more than ever.
Dear Tracy and family, my deepest condolences in the tragic loss of your Son.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jake..i cant say how sorry i am for your death, all i have to say is you were a great friend, you were loved by many, your in all of our hearts forever n always. I'll never forget you as long as I live, enjoy your internal life in Heaven, everyone dies eventually, see you soon.

Carmen in nj
so sorry for your loss . our deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and your family .
I am writing this tribute in my son's absence as he is currently in basic training. Cody considered you his 'big brother.' He spoke of you often and thought the world of you. He told me of the fun you shared together and times he looked forward to sharing with you in the future. He often talked about how much you meant to all of your friends. You will live on in the hearts and memories of all your family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Rest in Peace beautiful boy, my love, thoughts and prayers to you and your family

toute mes condoléance a la famille
Jake.
You never failed to put a smile on someones face, especially in Mr. Gums. You sure came up with some wicked stories. I
remember when you recently came flying into Mr. O's room I a garbage can and Jeff was the one who shoved you in there. Mr. O freaked out lol!
You must have really hated math as well because if I remember correctly, you'd walk in late everyday & plop your books down & then doze off to sleep!
You're going to be missed, a lot.
Ill see you again someday, take care & please watch down over all of us.
Love,
I remember all the times when we were young out at your grandmas bar.A lot of good memories.you will be missed man! RIP
Jacob, my sympathies are with your family. I never knew you but it seems you had many freinds and i hope they are all praying for you and your family. I released balloons for you and Jeff today.
Jake, we only knew eachother for about 6 months but you made an impression I will always remember. Even though you gave me crap on a daily basis when we seen eachother you still knew how to make me smile. Thanks for listening when I needed someone, and I will always appreciate the little time I knew you.
Jake, i remember how we would have pretty deep talks. You were a very good friend to me.. I seen you and Jeff everyday, its hard to see you both to go, You both were very close. I am going to miss your goony butt sooo much!!!! :) Love you Jake! See you one day Buddy. R.I.P.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Jacob. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Even though his life was taken too soon, always remember the wonderful memories that you had with him.
Love Josie, Joe, Brian, Joseph, Tyler
Hey buddy! Your life was taken from you way to soon. you were such a great person, and you had such a huge heart. Heaven gained a wonderful angel! Look down on us bud! We will be watching for you
Hey man you went down in the way I thought you would. LIKE A CHAMP! It happened way to soon. I remember day when you had your blazer, that day where you did a crazy burnout in front of school, and than you walked right up to sturm, and you guys had a nice talk. Thats my fondest memory of you! You were the man and always will be. Rest in pice buddy you will be greatly missed.
jake i had so much written but it disapeared! ill miss u!
dear jake, were do i start i met u on the bus..i thought u were so cute
Jake, I always remember you coming down to the kindergarten room to help out, it could be a bus helper or a good book buddy, I just remember, you always liked to play with the puppets! It's those silly times we all keep in our hearts. Keep smiling and light the way for all those who miss you & love you.
My favorite memory of Jake is when he was a 6th grader at Crestwood. Jake tried hard in class and always looked out for others. He told fun stories about home that always made me smile. He will be missed by all his former teachers and classmates. There was only one Jake and I thank God for the privilege to have taught him. He taught me a great deal as well.
I guess it's true, the good die young. You were one of the greatest guys I knew Jake, and were always there. I wish you could be here today on Graduation Night, the one day you actually looked forward to that deals with school. I miss you so much, so does everyone else. I hope you're having fun with whatever you're doing. Rest in Peace.
This isn't the way it was supposed to happen. I don't think you realize just how much people care about you down here. You were one crazy kid and you sure did know how to live life to the fullest.Miss you buddy. My only wish is that I had gotten to say goodbye. I know you're still with us, but make sure to look after your sister. Her love for you is greater than everyones combined. We love you Jake. Forever in our hearts. Just remember, God only takes the good ones.
I am so glad that my sons, Matthew and Michael, and I finally met you and Megan a few years back.
Although we didn't see eachother, we are always family, and you will be missed.
With love always,
you had the most amazing smile and could always put me in a good mood... ill miss you like crazy and ill always have you and Jeff in my mind.. love ya man
I will never forget you Jake. Especially how close you were to your brother Jeff. At least you boys are together in Heaven just like it should be. I miss you so much. RIP
You will never be forgotten Jake! So many good times....darts, watching football games (listening to you rattle off stats), cookouts, Fourth of July gatherings, New Years parties...the list goes on. You were loved by many and we will miss you!
Jake you were a great guy and we there when i fell off my pony lol you are amazing you made everyone smile you loss is horrible live long in heaven love yeah
My deepest sympathy goes out to you as you mourn the loss of your son, grandson, nephew and friend. Prayers are with you. Please know that you are surrounded by love from those around you and let God's strength carry you through this time of sorrow.
Our Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families he jake will be remembered allways
I'm so very sorry for your loss. My heart aches for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm praying for Jacob's family and friends. I remember the birthday parties and get together's,playing outside for hours on end. I'll miss you Buddy as you'll remain in so many peoples hearts.
I still remember that time Kole and I helped you push your fourwheeler out of the road and then we worked on it with you, your going to be missed buddy, rest in peace.
Remember the night you got your blazer stuck at my house and we towed her out with wades truck and bent his bumper. Good times, always a good time around you Jacob. you were a great guy. You will be missed, But we all know your in a better place now. Never Forgotten.
Although we only talked occasionally, you were one of a select few people whom I admired deeply and trusted enough with my life. You filled everyone's life with true and genuine happiness and your role on this planet was defined from day one.
When I heard the news, my heart sank and a lump in my throat grew exponentially over the next few moments. It crushes me to think that someone so kind, so friendly, so caring, and so genuine loses everything at an age in which you're about to chase your true potential. It pains me to think that over these 17 years you've touched more lives than many ever will and you still had a job left to finish.
I will miss you, from the bottom of my heart, Jacob. You will always be in my thoughts. Rest well. You'll be flying over me and I trust that now I have an angel by my side like you provided so many with while you were here.
jake you made me smile at least every day in multi cultural literature and i know you made everyone laugh or smile so i thank you for that gonna miss you man RIP jake love you!
Jake, I know every day for the rest of my life, I will be missing you.... You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in Mr.Zoromski's geometry class laughing and messing around. I will always remeber you like that bud... I'm so proud of you.. Good luck in heaven Jake and please watch over your little sister Jake.. She loves you and misses you so much.
im going to miss you jake! you always made me laugh in class. my thoughts and prays go out to your family
Im going to miss seeing you at the absolute most random times of the day, seeing you smile no matter what was going on was inspiring and lightened up everyones day.you wont be forgotten. Rest in peice bud.
