Q: What will you never forget about Jacoba?
A: I believe I met this beautiful lady when I was 14, and I am going to be 62 soon. I was so fortunate to have had Donna as a friend, to have met Jim and I was invited into their home on numerous occasions to have a sleepover, as well, I had the time of my life when I was invited to go with this family to Lumsden Beach for the weekend. I will never forget these times! It made a world of difference at the time for such a lonely kid as I was. Jacoba was always kind and she would ask Donna to sleep on the floor so I could have the bed. Sorry Donna but thank you! And when Donna would try learn me to play cards, I was a hopeless case and Donna would get frustrated. Jacoba would say 'it's just a game Donna!' I however can play Fish! I now live in Prince Albert and haven't seen Jacoba in a long time but for some reason I thought of her a week or so ago. I may be 4 hours away but my heart and thoughts are very near to you Donna and Jim! Bless your family at this time and Jacoba too. Thank you for having me a part of your lives. Jacoba you have raised marvelous smart children, and you are and always will be deeply loved and cherished.
