Words alone can't describe what a great loss that this is to us all. I have so many wonderful memories of when Scotty,Michael and I were young. You and Jerry made the world a better place. I can't imagine life without you. Your time was far to short on this earth. Christmas will never be the same without you!Thanks for all that you have done for me and for teaching me all that you did. They broke the mold when god made you. You can now be with Jerry as I know you have missed him everyday that he has be gone. Life was never the same after he passed away. You will always be in my heart and I will always treasure all the times we have had. Thanks for all the love you gave to me. I love you dearly, Tracy

Everyone knows that this day will come for each of us but in no way does it prepare us or make this any easier. Dot Jeffries was a lady with a heart of gold and had a very special gift that brought so much too so many of us but especially me. Dot worked with me for these last twelve years and it is twelve years that I will never forget. Each day I was able to see her at her best, working to touch so many hearts. Dot will be greatly missed here on earth but we all know that she is where she needed to be with the love of her life, Jerry. I will keep her family and friends in my prayers. I love you, Grandma and I truly understand. For now I will say Bye until we meet again. Rock on, Ms. J.

I am overwhelmed by grief for I dearly loved Mrs. Jeffries. She had character like no one else I've ever known. She had the courage of a prize fighter. She was strong and determined. She carried a giant heart of gold in that tiny body! I send my deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers to her family. I will miss her and remember her forever. Rest in peace "Grandma"
