We had to say goodbye to our precious little Junior on Sunday night. We know that this is Heavenly Father's will, and we are at peace that Jake Junior was needed back home.
Spencer W. Kimball wrote "I am positive in my mind that the Lord has planned our destiny. We can shorten our lives but I think we cannot lengthen them very much. Sometime we'll understand fully, and when we see back from the vantage point of the future we shall be satisfied with many of the happenings of this life which seemed so difficult for us to comprehend."
We do not know why we were chosen to have this special experience just 7 months after losing our precious Elise, but we have faith that we will understand our Father's will more completely at some future time. From so many of the wonderful experiences that you, our dear friends, have had and shared with us, we believe that Jake's little mission on this earth was to help build faith and testimony in his parents, sisters, and all of our friends. He was successful.
Thank you so much for your faith and prayers. We believe they were able to carry little Jacob through long enough to spend these two precious weeks with him.
Thank you for all of your love, support, and prayers,
Jeanne, Jake, Madi, and Kate
