Good-bye dear Jeff, until we all meet again, sweet dreams...
Dearest Angel and family:
Our thoughts of you are like a thousand stars, they wing their way to you on the wind,
Step outside and when the breeze brushes your cheek it is our love coming to you each day...
He is dreaming with the Angels now.
Loving you all,

Jeff was an amazing friend since our childhood in Rawlins, Wyoming. The Patchens, Dale Eastland, Dick Lake, and I were the "reign" of the neighborhood. I will honor his memory always. I am very sad, and yet feel spiritually uplifted because his pain is no more. My love to Angel and his family; John, his dad and Debbie (his sister) & family. Rest in peace Jeff. Love you

I will miss my very dear friend. I have known Jeff for at least 20 years and always knew he was a very special man. When I met his "Angel", I knew they were perfect for each other. All my love to Angel and his beautiful family, He will be sorely missed. We have another guardian angel to watch over us. God Bless.

What a beautiful tribute to Jeff! It was always such a blessing to speak with him and to see that even in his sufferings the light of Jesus burned brightly through his speech and actions. His legacy lives on through his wonderful family! You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this valley of grief, and I know that God is with you in a special way at this time (Psalm 23:4).

Although it has been years since we last met (at a class reunion in Rawlins), it is very sad to learn of Jeff's passing. His words, "Every day is a good day," are words we all need to remember. My prayers will be with you.

So very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to have lost your loved one to death. Our creator was so loving that he made our body to heal, but we live in a world that is so full of sickness and death. The bible speak of better time in Isa 35:24 "And no resident will say: "I am sick." The people that are dewlling in the land will be those pardoned for their error."
God cannot lie.
I hope that these word from the Bible have brought you some comfort and continue in the day ahead.
