I received this e-mail today from Amy Irving, wife of City Council candidate Dan Irving:

CJ,

I am writing to ask if you could somehow post on your blog my heartfelt thanks to George and Jeannine Jacob who were so gracious to me and my family after the sudden death of my dad on Monday morning, the day before elections.

During this extremely difficult time for all of us, George, Jeannine and his crew offered to post Dan’s signs at several pricinct locations, and even made a follow-up phone call Monday evening to tell him they were done. They also arranged to have meals from Basta restaurant delivered to my mother’s house, along with other sincere acts of concern.

Thank you, again to the Jacob Family.

Amy Irving & Family

My wife and I also offer our deepest condolences to Amy and her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time of grief. I commend George Jacob and his family for their selfless acts of compassion; they’ve provided a great example of what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself.”
