'In his short time on this Earth, our beloved boy taught us so much. We know now that love, family and friends, like spring, come to the corners of every winter. That there is great strength and peace in holding babies, and just that is enough. Our hearts have grown five sizes bigger thanks to Jacob, our little jellybean. We will miss you so very much.'

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 27, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 230 Baker Ave., in Whitefish.
