Patty and family,

My son was 3 years old when your Jacob was abducted. Jacobs story changed my way of parenting from the day forward. My boys weren’t always happy to be told they couldn’t leave our cul-de-sac without an adult, but all I had to do was say your Sons name and they understood.. Even at the age of 15 they still had limits of where they could be without a parent.

My Sons are parents of their own children now. They are amazing fathers and now they know that feeling I felt about your Jacob and they have it I still in them. Patty, your love and strength over the years has deeply touched my heart. Love and Hugs to you and your family. Someday when we are all in Heaven I hope to meet you and your Jacob.. 💗💙

God Bless you Patty. My family and I followed the story from day one and shared your tears! We are from northern MN. Thank you for doing this. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be. Looking forward to watching.

Congratulations again, Patty & Joy~

What an amazing set of outcomes you two have willed into reality. I know you are both stubborn (said lovingly, as only a Taurus could) and I am grateful for that. I'm looking forward to celebrating with you and participating in as many of these kick-off events as possible. Most of all, I look forward to the arrival of my copy of Dear Jacob and reading it cover to cover. Thank you for toughing it out!
