JJ, it's been two months yesterday. Most of the time I tell myself it didn't happen, but then again it feels like you have been gone so long. I miss you. Everyday I miss you. I feel so lost, I put on a happy face everyday but everyday I am so unhappy. I love you more than you could have ever known. You were my biggest hero. I want so badly for you to be here.

I was Jeff's counselor at the East Boston Social Center's after school program some 10 years ago. He was a terrific kid and fun to be around. He was one kid that made going to work everyday a joy. Jeff, I'll never forget those days in the fall playing football with you and the kids at the Bradley School. My deepest condolences to Jeff's mom, dad and family. Be proud that he touched so many people's lives and take comfort in the fact that during these sad days he brought joy when he was alive.
