I was a nurse in the ED at Sycamore Hospital when Jeff was working as an orderly before Med school. I will never forget his compassion and empathy when I lost my daughter. I remember being so moved by someone so young having such depth and empathy. He was surely a gift to the world and everyone he met. I´m sure not only to the children he helped but to their parents as well. My sympathies to his family. May you find peace in your memories. He was truly a remarkable man.
