Ciao Jakoby! 🇮🇹 That’s right - your team reaches around the globe all the way to ITALY! That’s just how special you are and how loved! An infinite love that knows no boundaries, no borders, jumps continents and I sure hope you can feel it! You know the word for love in Italian? “Amore” (pronounced ah-MOR-ay). I’d be happy to give you more Italian lessons if it’d be a fun way to pass the time. :) Please tell your mom and aunt “ciao” for me. We were neighbors growing up and had the best little adventures together .... maybe you can ask them to tell you about the haunted house :) I hope the silent auction and concert is a huge success! Un abbraccio, Lesley

I went to school with your grandad, (ya, we are old!!😂)and he toId me how proud he is of you, and how much he loves and cares about you. I have joined your team to support, encourage, and pray for you and your family to get through your illness with Gods grace , mercy and love. He’s got you and your family safely in his hands, and is with you during this time. When I look at the pictures of you, I see a young man who is determined, happy, adventurous, and much loved!

Dear Jakoby, I am a fellow Anusara teacher, which is how I know your mom. From my many conversations with her, I know you have a loving and supportive family, which is a blessing during difficult times like this. I will continue to pray for a full recovery so you can get back to the things that bring you joy. Three classmates of my own children had cancer growing up (elementary school and high school). While they had to fight a fierce battle, they are all adults now--strong, in good health, and living full lives. It will be the same for you. Sending strength and courage, Kim.

~ Kim F.

~ Judy W.

​

Ever since you were born, i couldn't wait to play with you. I love being around you and hanging out with you even if i don't apparently show it as much as i could ;) I also thought you should know for future, every time i do something embarrassing or weird it's just to see if i can get that cute crooked smile or even better your infectious lil' laugh. Love you little man.

~ Averianna, your favorite big sister

​

Jakoby has shown me how brave he is before; from exploring a dark cave with only a flashlight, to jumping in a freezing lake for a Black Hills 1st swim of the season, to accepting and pushing through the unknowns of the medical procedures he's already endured...I have no doubt that he will continue to "out-brave" himself until he's back to swimming in the lakes yet again.

~ Aunt Lindsay
