Dear Regina and Family,
Living far away and removed from your daily lives and in ours sporadic times together, I and Dunuta listen how much loved and how proud you were of your children and grandchildren. Because of that love of Jacob, your loss it’s unimaginable to us, your pain is unbearable because you were always perfect mother and grandmother like your mother Hania was to all of us. Reniu we are with you through those miserable times (we know something about it) and remember that time heals all wounds but memories live forever

We are absolutely heartbroken for your loss. We will take heed to the message you delivered today, and find joy and happiness in our memories of Jacob. We forever have our memories of his infectious smile and endless energy. We will cherish his Marco Polo messages to/from Aubrey, our play date at the Halloween carnival and them both knowing the bond we insist they have because of the love and friendship between their Moms. You are supported in what ever way needed. You are loved endlessly. You are prayed for sincerely.

When I would see Jacobs pictures online, he looked like the happiest child in the world! It looked like he could not have had a better time here and you could see all the love this family had! They lived and breathed their son and you could see the love and strong bond between him and Regina! How lucky he was to have you all, and how blessed you were to have an angel at your side for 5 years! Wish I knew what else I could say and praying for and thinking of your family during this incredibly difficult time!

Melanie,
I am so sorry for your loss. Words aren’t enough to express what I am feeling. I have lost a child and it is the worst loss you will ever feel. I will always remember Jacob’s smile and the memories of Tick Tock we shared together. May the Lord above comfort you and hold you close to Him. You will carry memories of happy times with Jacob in your heart. He will always be with you.

To Parents, Grandparents and relatives of Jacob
We can not find the words to describe the sorrow of losing of a perfect child.
Jacob was always welcoming family and friends with friendly smile.
He was full of energy, very smart representing perfect part of loving Brandys and Pikosky families.
A falling little bright star of beautiful 5 years old little boy.
Rest in peace Jacob

Even though we are not related, Jacob was a part of our family since the day he was born. We never had a conversation with his dear “Gabah” Regina, that his name did not come up or photos and videos were not shared. There are no words to express the sorrow we are feeling for your entire family. We send you our love as that is all that we can offer.

I believe he will be with you in your heart until the day you see him again guiding you through the toughest times. Love and hugs!!
