Maui has passed on...

It is with a heavy heart that I
am writing to let you know that
Maui passed away today.

I thank you and everyone in our
community who has kept us in
your thoughts and prayers these
past few days.

I know that Maui was a little
part of a lot of people's lives.

I am going to disconnect from email
for a few days, but if you would
like to send your condolences or
words of support, please post a
comment below.

Please know that I will read all
of your kind messages when I
re-emerge sometime next week.

Again, many thanks for your
support and prayers this past week.
Molly and I (and most importantly,
Maui) felt them. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.

Aloha,

James Jacobson

I am so sorry for your loss. Maui is waiting for you, on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge - she and all the wanted and unwanted, loved and unloved are there together. They don't hurt anymore, they can run and play, and they're just waiting for the people who loved them, or people who need them. Be strong, because that is what Maui would want - reflect on the warm memories, treasure the small moments. She will love you always, as you will love her.

Best friends don't leave us, they just run ahead to a better place.

My thoughts and prays are with you.

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey has just begun
life holds many facets
the Earth is only one

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away

And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.

Maui is celebrating at Rainbow Bridge, content in the knowledge that her goal in life has been accomplished!! Maui's LEGACY OF LOVE will forever live in hearts across the WORLD!! With tears of joy, I cry with you and others at the loss of such a bright and shining star! I THANK YOU for sharing one of Maui's most precious possessions with the world - You and Molly. We all stand today - Remembering LOVE because of YOU and Molly sharing MAUI and her legacy of love. Take all the time you need to heal - I have lost three children over the past 18 years and I can say with confidence, Maui is not gone from your life - she has just moved completely into your heart for safe keeping!!!!! Love & Prayers, Dorrie; ▶ Reply to This

One day you all will be re-united, but in the meantime, you have your own little Angel, who I know will continue to watch over you, and inspire you in your work. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
