It is really hard for me to say a word or two about this little angel that God sent to us. But I know my God so well and will not doubt his decision to take her little soul away. In Him we shall all put our trust and have faith that He is a sovereign God who decides our path.

Dear Mbella & Minerva, We wish you and the family a lot of strength for this extremely difficult moment. Our thoughts are with you. Much love,

Dear Mbella & Minerva: The first regret I had when I heard the news of Jacobi's transition is that I never met your precious angel. little Ama-Lee who from all I have read on this site was a giver of smiles and bringer of joy. It also seems that she was a teacher of truth to people many years older than her chronological age. Obviously a wise soul in a small package. I fervently pray that the sorrow and devastation you feel right now recedes in due time and you can remember your precious daughter with fondness in your hearts and maybe even smiles on your faces. Please lean on each other and God during the difficult days ahead. Love,

Mbella and Minerva Miss Jacobi was a "light" here for a purpose........ Remember....... At the end of this life is an open door, And beyond that threshold, there is only joy. So take comfort in your faith.

"All praise and thanks to God; the Father now be given. The Son and Him who reigns; supreme in highest heaven. The one eternal God, whom heaven and earth adore; for thus it was, IS NOW and shall be evermore." Yes indeed, an Angel passed through the Savannah GA Martin houehold and left in her wake such beauty, love and grace only God can bestow. Six precious months of fortitude and endurance of this giant spirit taught me, and I hope all who would hear of her that it is the GIFT and not its packaging that holds God's intended blessings for us. Dear Jacob and Minerva, may the hopes and dreams you had for her live on and blossom into God's good and perfect plan and purpose for your precious family. Love and prayers always.

I will forever hold her sweet "patty-cake smiles" in my heart, and I pray that you find comfort and peace in the beautiful, happy memories. Thank you for sharing your sweet girl with us; she will always be remembered with love. Love Always,
