I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jeffrey.

He was such an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others.

My prayers are with you Marie, and your entire family.

Eternal rest grant him O Lord, let your perpetual light shine on him. May he rest in peace.

May god keep each one of you in his loving care.

Love,

Velma Mayfield
