It's hard to believe it's been nine years already since you lost Jeff. I don't know if I ever met Jeff, but I do remember you talking about him and that made me like him very much. And it's because of him and this obituary that I found you again, my friend. I am very grateful for that.

Dearest Ruth, I was so shocked to hear of Jeff's sudden death. It's so hard not to have had time to say goodbye, but I believe our loved ones are always with us, in our hearts and in our thoughts. You'll think so much of him and carry on conversations, I'm sure. Your sons are still young and need direction and you'll be the one showing the way, with Jeff right behind you...and with God's help of course.
Ruth, Juan and I send our most sincere sympathy for you and the boys and all your large family. Jeff will be missed by many and I'm sorry I never really knew him.
All our love, Maureen and Juan

Ruth, I was just looking you up on Google, to try to find out how to contact you, when I saw this obituary. Oh MY! I am so shocked! I wish I had known earlier, I would have come to the services. I would love to talk to you. I just don't know how to get ahold of you. I love you dearly, always have, since we met in bell choir years ago.

Ruth, you are one of the dearest, kindest people that I have ever known and I am so very sorry that you are having to endure such a sorrowful loss. I know that you are strong, but if you ever need anything...even just an ear... my heart and my ears will always have the time. I miss you at bell choir and hope that you are able to return soon. I believe that it might even be therapeutic as it seems to allow us, even for just those couple of hours, to be in the magic of all that... which always seems to be of a healing nature. Whatever you need, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time and always. God bless and much love, truly.

There comes a time in many of our lives were we often reach an epiphany hearing our parents words come from our own lips. I often hear Jeff's coming from mine as he was my "work father" early in my career. His guidance, wisdom and character were instrumental in my career and success. Jeff was a good man and will be greatly missed as the world was a better place with him. Ruth, you and your family have our deepest sympathy during this time. We will keep you and your's in our thoughts and prayers.
