“It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.”—David Jacobs is and was such a person. I cherish my friendship with David, his love for his God and family, his encouragement and especially dedication to the Kingstree community.
My heart aches for the Jacobs family and I express my sincere sympathy to each of you.
