Dear Molly, I just heard about Jeff. I am so extremely sorry. Jeff was always quick with a smile and a good word. I remember the morning at MCI when Jeff had brought up to you the idea of an RV roadtrip. I'm so glad you guys did that... world's largest yarn ball, that "car stonehenge"; etc... And, thank goodness he could repair an RV! It was such a classic American thing that you, Jeff and the children did. He crammed a lot of life and love in his 47 years. I'm so very sorry Molly. Love, Leann

Jeff's kindness and bigheartedness led him to welcome all others into his live and home with his family. Jeff remains my cousin, in my heart, even though he departed Molly, his children, extended family and friends at way to young an age.
