Posey and her family lived next door to us on Catherine Ave. for many years. The 5 Jacobs girls were frequent visitors. Great neighbors and friends! Thinking of all of you with prayers. Mary and Norb Ziegler
Our deepest condolences to the Jacob Family. Posey was a dear friend to my parents and they all have such fond memories from Corey Lake, many Pet Parade parties, and some fabulous dinner parties. Posey and my mom spent the last four years living at Bethlehem Woods. She always was so glad to see me, and greeted me with a delightful smile, kiss on cheek and long hug. Posey helped me many years ago with my infertility shots and even came to aid me a few times when my twin girls were babies. She never hesitated to help when asked.
May you girls find comfort in each other during this difficult time. She will be missed!
