Being born 15 weeks early, Jacob defied the odds. For four months in NICU, he surpassed his expectations. For two years, Jacob proved to be a fighter. His personality was visible even from day one and it was amazing to see. Jacob was loved by all. He enjoyed meeting new people. He loved learning new things. He loved being outside. He loved to laugh. He loved his family. He especially loved his Mickey Mouse. He will truly be missed.
