Jeff will be missed by friends and family, that goes without saying. Through thick and thin he always smiled. He always went out of his way to make everyone feel loved. He brightened the room when he entered it, smiling and joking. He loved his family and friends, and always did his best.

By the Grace of God, he is most certainly in a better place!

My daddy is the center of my universe. I can't believe God took him away from my family and all of his friends.. but he is in a better place and I know that he is looking down on all of us. He loved everyone and I know a lot of people love him and miss him.. which makes me and my entire family happy and proud.

Daddy I am so proud to be your daughter. I love and miss you so much.. I know one day we'll be together again but for now, enjoy heaven. I bet its amazing..

Always and forever, Daddy's little girl. <3
