Dad I still can't believe your gone . I am at a loss of words to say . I feel much comfort knowing your at peace finally . No more depression and no more suffering . You are now with all your family and that brings a smile to my face . I still look to my phone waiting for you to FaceTime me to see Lena or ask how Sams doing at work . I can still hear you saying "Wait while I fix a coffee ". Dad I hope you look down on me and watch Lena grow up . I hope that brings a smile to your face . I truly miss you and I know one day when I see you again you will be waiting for your Moosie with open arms . What a nickname you gave me lol My mom said you were so proud of your 10lb baby girl . Dad give my love to all the family ❤ I will always love you and hold you in my heart .

May God bless your family and keep you strong at a time like this. It was a pleasure to have Jeff as my son in-law. He was a good man who I loved dearly. May your soul rest in peace with our Heavenly Father. You will be missed.

First of all my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I am sorry for your loss. I am the odd one and always called him Mike as everyone called him Jeff. Mike was and always will be my brother in-law. I will never forget the Friday nights when he picked me up to babysit Michelle, Michael, Megan and Melisa when she arrived. Our favorite thing was orange Sunkist pop and Cheez Its watching late night TV. Mike always let me drive the car before I got my license so I owe my driving skills to him, LOL. Rest in peace my brother in-law and from the skies I will listen for your call "GO BUCKS" as they play.

It weighs heavy on my heart that the last of my taylor family uncles has passed but i can see uncle jeff up in heaven with uncle jack,tim,bill and uncle tom and espcially tippy toes i miss them all so much every day but i know that when he reached those gates they were all waiting with open arms.he stayed with us for a short period of time and i can remember his stories his laugh his smile so warm him calling me britty lou who and watching movies. I grew up listening to my nana tell me so many stories about her growing up with her brothers from melting her crayons in the sun to tickling her till she couldnt breathe. I miss him terribly but i know that his walk through this hard life is finally over and he can rest his tired mind and soul and enjoy eternal happiness i love you uncle jeff i always will rest easy.

I was sitting with my mother listening to her tell so many stories of her brothers and of Uncle Jeff. He was a good man who took good care of his mother. He loved his family very much. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. He stayed with me for a short period and we really bonded. We had many phone conversations and he was always a good support. I take comfort that he is finally at peace and is with all of his brothers and his most loving mother. Rest in peace Uncle Jeff.

Growing up, a sister could tell you the horrors of having a brother around. They tease you, they play tricks on you, listen in on your phone calls, change the TV channel, make noise while you're trying to listen to music, try to cheat when you're playing games. They can be an aggravation from morning to night. I know, I had 5 of them.
But as you grow older and they get more human, and/or you get smarter, you realize how wonderful they can be. That's what I learned. All 5 of those big lugs became someone gifted with traits I found so special. And as I stood next next to them, those 6 feet tall, and more, brothers wearing their big shoes, handsome faces, smart, brave, funny guys, I learned how blessed I was. They grew, I grew to appreciate every one of them.
My brother Jeff wore the best sunglasses, had a terrific sense of humor, loved and always looked out for our mother. He made me laugh, made me cry. He was someone I could argue with, get angry at, but still and all, always loved me. No matter how foolish I was, or selfish, or thoughtless, or stupid, he forgive me.
They all did, those big brothers. They had my back and I had theirs in ways too many to recount. And I miss them terribly.
I'll miss jeffs crazy humor, his willingness to tell all. I'll miss his big heart, his wonderful smile, his once great sense of style,his perfect pumpkin pies, his unique insight. Jeff was close to our God. And now God has taken him home.
I cry for myself because all of those big guys are no longer here. But I can see them all together towering over and around our mother. She who loved them so much, now has them all with her again. I envy Mom so much.
Jeff is in heaven watching over the children he so loves and appreciates. He will never lose sight of them. I hope that when they hear a cat meow, or see a beautiful new Chevy they will think of him, because he is holding them all in his heart.
I miss you big brother, even though you were younger than I, you were always my big brother.
