My Grandma Jacobs passed away the day after Thanksgiving. What an amazing women - she has left behind a wonderful legacy - She was one of 14 children - had 10 children of her own - 48 grandchildren and 104 great-grandchildren. She was the BEST example - was a wonderful cook and homemaker - holidays were always the Best at grandma Jacobs. I don't ever remember grandma raising her voice - always took advantage of the teaching moment...told the BESt stories of days gone by - Reminded us to be kind - supported all the grandchildren in whatever they were interested in...remember Grandma and Grandpa several years ago traveling to 3 different states over a 3 week period to watch 3 state playoff games from 3 differnt granchildren - the memories will live on in our hearts...the homemade ice-cream from the snow, butterscotch pies, sledding down the hill at the FARM in Vale...because of her I have a wonderful mother, aunts, uncles and several cousins....My life is blessed because of the life of my grandmother - want to be just like her:)
Happy Birthday Travis Jr. ...The big "14" - My boy!! My life has been so blessed by having Travis Jr. as my first born son. He had a great football season and went right into basketball season. He is a bruiser - love to watch him. He has made 20 and 30 points the last few games - he is a pretty reserved kid for the most part but pretty entertaining to watch once he steps on the court - he is humble. He never talks about what he did - he lets others do the talking for him - I love that about him. Our home is always booming with extra boys/friends ....he is a good friend. He loves movie parties and hanging out with family and friends - he likes to attend all the HS activities and enjoys the freedom of this small community - he loves school and will be ordained a Teacher in a few weeks at church. He is kind and loving - enjoys his dads cooking - loves school...gets up at 6:00 every morning to attend speed training/weight lifting - he works hard and takes his goals serious. He is not only an example to Michael, Tanner and Aiden but also to us as his parents. We know whatever Travis decides to do in all his walks of life he is going to move mountains....love ya, bud!!

So sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandmother. In hearing you talk about her I have no doubts that she was indeed a phenomenal lady. You did her proud by honoring her while she was living and you are passing her fine legacy along as you continue to embrace the kind of person she was.
Love you, Sister!
