My dear cuz, so happy to know our blood flows together. One of the kindest persons I've known. Now you are in the wilderness where there is peace. Cousin James Griffin
It is with profound sadness that I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Jacob. He was my best friend and we were inseparable from 1st grade to 8th grade. We remained close throughout the years. He and his entire family were the most humble people in have met thus far in my life's journey. I remain grateful for all the kindness the family had shown me during my youth whenever Jacob invited me to his home.
Rest in peace my dear friend; I pray we meet again. Micah 6:8 what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do just, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.
Respectfully,
James (AL) Glover
