I have good memories of Jeff during high school, a long time ago. Sadly I have not kept in touch, and that is on me. I pray that God will keep all family members in his loving embrace and guide you through this time of loss.

It's hard to know just what to say at this sad time, but even though no words can truly comfort you, perhaps they can, in some small way, express the depth of care and concern that's felt for you and your family now.
We know this is a difficult time for you and we are sorry for all the pain all of you are experiencing.
You are in our thoughts & prayers.
