In Loving Memory: Jacob Charles Holladay

There is a paragraph floating around FB, that starts with 'Stupid Cancer'.  I'm sure it is like a chain letter, and has been cut and pasted hundreds of times, but for me it was a phrase that hit a heart string.
I am in Utah right now for my cousins funeral.  He passed away due Rhabdomyosarcoma, a very rare form of cancer.  The picture above is of Jake, and his twin brother John at La Jolla Shores a few weeks ago.  It's amazing how an illness can just suck the life right out of you.
Josh and Leilani get one last laugh with Jake 2+ weeks ago.

Aunt Rose with Jake.

 Thanks for the laughs!  You will be missed.

Cancer and Children should never mix. It is so heartbreaking to see someone so young gone so quickly. I know he is fine and in a good place but the family he left behind will always grieve him. I am so sorry. I wish there were words to say that would heal. Life is precious.
