Dear Abbott family,
I am so sorry to hear about Jeff's unexpected passing. I just found out. I will always remember him, he was so sweet and was wonderful to everyone. I played softball with Lisa in Oakdale and went to school with Jeff at West A until we moved after my sophmore year. My heartfelt sympathies to all of you.

Wish I could find the words to help heal your broken hearts and understand why Jeff has been taken away from you so suddenly. I pray that during this difficult time, the memories of your loved one comfort you. May you find peace in knowing that Jeff has touched so many lives. Scott and I are just two of them. I share great memories of a funny and kind drummer I was in band with and our time growing up in good old Westbury. We all have such fond memories of a wonderful friend that we will never forget, no matter how many years have passed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
