Jacob Hughes Williams - The Brightest Light In The Darkest Sky!

It is with a heavy, broken heart I tell you our family just lost the greatest joy and hero of our lives.  Jacob Hughes Williams, my grandson; nephew to Briana and Ryan and precious son to Stephanie and Ladd earned his heavenly wings last Tuesday.  We are devastated beyond words and Jacob is not only our hero, but our joy, and the light in our lives.  Stephanie wrote a letter I am adding here.  This is just part of the essence of Jacob and his legacy.

Dear Friends:

First of all, let me say thank you for all the love, support and prayers you've sent over the past few days. We can feel your prayers...

I'm sure some of you are wondering how we're doing, how we're dealing with this situation. Let me assure you that we are not angry at GOD, nor do we feel anything but love and admiration for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior because we know He's right here with us, that He understands our suffering and His heart is breaking for us. He tells us that "blessed are the grieving, for they shall be comforted" and that "All things work together for the good of those who love Him" (forgive me for not knowing the exact scripture).

Our God is an awesome God and we know that his Grace, and his Grace alone, is sufficient to carry us through this difficult time. This has only strengthened our faith. I know that our precious Jacob closed his eyes for his nap and opened them again to find Jesus waiting with open arms to scoop him up and steal all his sweet sugar. We have countless friends and families waiting in line to get a taste of his sweetness...too much sweetness for a dying world. I know that one day soon, I too will close my eyes to sleep and open them again only to see my savior waiting for me with my precious baby boy in his arms. Oh what a glorious day that will be!

There were many times over the course of Jacob's life I would find him "playing" with the angels we cannot see...laughing and smiling at the angels in his midst. Those memories bring me comfort now. I had a dream a little more than a month ago that I was walking around outside with Jacob bouncing in my arms, then suddenly, he was gone. I looked to the sky to find the warmest, brightest, most wonderful light I had ever seen. I knew immediately that God had taken Jacob from my arms to protect him from what was to come. I knew our time left here was short, and that my job was to encourage others to examine their hearts and make straight their paths so that they too may be lifted into heaven by our savior when he returns very soon.

Let me encourage you all now, if any of you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, please take a moment to invite Him into your hearts. Please encourage those around you to do the same. It will be the most important decision you will ever make. The end is near, friends.

If I don't see you before, I look forward to meeting you all in the air at His glorious appearing.

In Christ,
Stephanie & Ladd Williams

Our precious, loving, wonderful, joyful, beautiful Jacob will be the last name I add to this page.

It was started as a tribute to my daughter, Jennifer.  It was a means to allow me and the visitors to this site to easily check on families and children in dire need of prayer.  There are many such sites with Caring Bridge being just one of them.  My family has paid their dues and faced enough pain and heartbreak to last a lifetime.  We will continue to keep so many others who walk this path in our hearts and fervent prayers.  We don't need this page to be reminded to do that.

This page will end as a reminder of God's promises and faithfulness.  It will serve as a reminder of just how much we need each other and the importance of remaining in prayer.

But first and foremost, it will end in loving memory and honor of Jacob.  Precious Jacob, you have always been and will always be our greatest gift!!!  You are so very loved and missed!  Save us some sugar sweet baby - we'll hold you in our arms again soon!

It is my fervent prayer the day will soon come when there will be no more names to add to this page; no more angels who earn their wings and instead, this page will be a celebration of life, miracles and lasting cures.  Our precious Lord and Savior will return, wipe every tear from eyes and take us to our real home.  We may never meet on this earth, but if your heart is right with Him, we will meet in Heaven.  Until that day, you all remain in my heart and prayers.  May God bless you all!

With all my love,
Judy
