To my son: Jeff, how I miss you. You have taken a part of my heart with you. I long to see your beautiful smile or hear a Hi Mom. But I know now is the time to release you to our Lord, for He was waiting for you with open arms. Your life has now begun, filled with joy I can not understand or imagine. The day will surely come when we can be with each other again and praise our Lord together. I will love you always. mom
