Share your Story with the Jacobs:
For those of you who were present for the Community Share yesterday, it was a healing time for all. Whether through tears, laughter, prayers, and words of comfort, it was so wonderful to hear people’s stories of Zhya. I only wish we could have recorded that time for the parents.

To that end, we are asking you to write out a story that you have of Zhya.

It could be how you met, or how he impacted you, a funny little quirk… whatever you remember about him. The idea is that we should share with his parents and family a view into the life of their son through our eyes.

1-2 paragraphs is fine, handwritten notes are greatly preferred if brought to the Funeral Service, though email will be accepted if that is not a possibility for you. All these notes will be bound into a book for the parents.

Sincerely,
Phil Black
