Sharon, I'm so very sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. God bless you all.

I was surprised to hear of Jeff's passing. I first knew Jeff when he was a child in Shelbyville and I later babysat Jeff and the girls when they moved to Murfreesboro. Haven't had any contact since then but they have crossed my mind a lot. Would love to talk to Dora (we always lovingly called her "Country"). My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jeff was always kind to my mother Willie and me. He never changed, no matter if he was ill himself. You could count on a great big smile from Jeff.
